Synopsis (Goodreads):

For nearly six hundred years, Vlad Tepesh cared for nothing, so he had nothing to lose. His brutal reputation ensured that all but the most foolhardy stayed away. Now, falling in love with Leila has put him at the mercy of his passions. And one adversary has found a devastating way to use Vlad’s new bride against him.

A powerful spell links Leila to the necromancer Mircea. If he suffers or dies, so does she. Magic is forbidden to vampires, so Vlad and Leila enlist an unlikely guide as they search for a way to break the spell. But an ancient enemy lies in wait, capable of turning Vlad and Leila’s closest friends against them . . . and finally tearing the lovers apart forever.

Thoughts on Into the Fire: Just when Vlad and Leila think they have a handle on the bad guy who's been causing all their problems, they find out there's a necromancer with a chip on his shoulder. A chip that's kind of specifically Vlad shaped. And? The necromancer has bound his and Leila's lives together so everything he feels, she feels. Which means ending him is off the table. Probably.

Now Vlad and Leila are on the hunt for a way to break the spell tying her to Mircea. This takes them into Ian's orbit and MAN that guy likes his pleasure. He also has slightly more depth than he likes to pretend he does and sometimes he does things in the heat of the moment that might come back to bite him later. Of course, Ian being Ian, he might actually like the biting part. HA. That guy. 

But back to Vlad and Leila! Vlad is doing his usual medieval warlord thing, Leila's pushing back (which also trying to be aware of when pushing might distract Vlad). Leila is also learning a little more about what makes her different from most everyone else. Yup, the lady is special in an powerful bloodline sort of way. Speaking of which, are we ever going to see where Gretchen ends up? I mean, there's a certain former Crusades knight who seems to have a vested interest in keeping her whole and hearty. Just sayin'.

Secrets, a few answers, forgiveness, a power upgrade (or two), a few familiar faces, a vampire who loves with everything inside him, and the lady who can hold her own against him. *thumbs up* all around!
