PNR Review: Edge of Dawn: A Midnight Breed Novel



I've finished "Edge of Dawn" the 11th book in her Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian.

Product Description

In this pulse-pounding and thrillingly sensual novel, Lara Adrian returns to the mesmerizing world of the Midnight Breed, following new characters into a dark future where an uneasy peace can unravel into war — and a great betrayal can mask an all-consuming love.

Twenty years after the terror of First Dawn — when mankind learned that vampires lived secretly among them — the threat of violence reigns as the two species struggle to coexist. The only group preserving the fragile harmony is the Order, an elite cadre of Breed warriors dedicated to protecting humans and vampires alike. And in this precarious world of torn loyalties and shattered trust, Mira, a fiery squad captain, finds that every fight bears an intensely personal cost.

Raised among the Order, Mira has always believed in the warrior’s code of swift — and even lethal — justice. But the one thing she desires more than the Order’s hard-won acceptance is Kellan Archer, a sexy but troubled Breed fighter. In love with him since childhood, Mira once broke through his tough exterior during an unexpected night of rapture, but the next day he mysteriously disappeared, never to return.

Kellan didn’t think he would ever see Mira again — or have to confront the truth of why he left. After abandoning the Order years ago, he now leads a band of human rebels intent on carrying out their own vigilante rule of law. Yet a high-profile kidnapping assignment brings him face-to-face with the past he sought to avoid, and the striking woman he has tried desperately to forget. And as tensions mount and the risk of bloodshed grows, Kellan and Mira must take sides — between the competing missions that dominate their lives, and the electrifying passion that claims their hearts.

My Review:

This book is about Mira and Kellan who we were introduced to when they both were kids.  They became instant friends and grew up together and finally consummated their love the night before Kellan died.

Kellan has been dead for 8 years and it's the anniversary of his death which Mira is still coping with.  She is having trouble getting past his death and that night she goes berserk on a rebel she believes is the cause of his death.  Lucan demotes her and assigns her babysit a peculiar scientist who is going to speak at a conference.  When she goes to pick him up she interrupts his kidnapping by a rebel group and as a result gets kidnapped too.  They are lead by a man named Bowman aka Kellan Archer.

Then we learn what has be going on with Kellan during those years and what he has been doing recently.  My heart was breaking for him and Mira because every time they try to be together something tears them apart again.  Her sight has always been a curse especially for them.

You can feel how much they love each other since they are each others first and only love.

It was a fun delight to see all the sons and even daughter of the original members all grown up and fighting alongside each other.

PNR Review: Taken by Midnight (The Midnight Breed, Book 8) [Mass Market Paperback]


I've finished "Taken by Midnight" the 8th book in her Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian.

Product Description

AT THE CROSSROADS OF DEATH AND DESIRE, A WOMAN TASTES A PLEASURE NO MORTAL IS MEANT TO SURVIVE.

In the frozen Alaskan wilderness, former state trooper Jenna Darrow survives an unspeakable breach of body and soul. But with her narrow escape comes an even greater challenge. For strange changes are taking place within her, as she struggles to understand — and control — a new hunger. To do so, she will seek shelter in the Boston compound of the Order, an ancient race of vampire warriors whose very existence is shrouded in mystery. Perhaps the most mysterious of them all is Brock, a brooding, dark-eyed alpha male whose hands hold the power to comfort, heal . . . and arouse.

As she recovers under Brock’s care, Jenna finds herself drawn to the Order’s mission: to stop a ruthless enemy and its army of assassins from subjecting Earth to a reign of terror. Yet in spite of their resolve, a purely physical relationship without strings soon binds Brock and Jenna together with a desire fiercer than life and stronger than death itself — until a secret from Brock’s past and Jenna’s own mortality challenges their forbidden love to the ultimate trial by fire.

About the Author

Lara Adrian is the New York Times bestselling author of the Midnight Breed series, including Kiss of Midnight, Kiss of Crimson, Midnight Awakening, Midnight Rising, Veil of Midnight, and Ashes of Midnight. Her next novel in this seductive series will come from Dell Books in Fall 2010.

Publisher: Dell; Original edition (September 28, 2010)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0440245273
ISBN-13: 978-0440245278


My Review:

Jenna Darrow has survived a viscous attack from an ancient evil and wakes up in the Breed compound.  She is coming terms with gaining some new powerful abilities which the Ancient left before he died  Brock is assigned to take care of her welfare and he helps ease her pain and sorrow. She lost her husband and baby girl in a car accident and she is living with the guilt that it is her fault.

Brock is one of the new members of The Order and he has personal scars too.  He is grieving over the loss of his friend Corrinne who disappeared from a Night Club years ago.  When he first encounters Jenna he is drawn to her and has a deep need to protect her.

The Order has been after Dragos for a long time who has a habit of experimenting on his own kind, kidnapping Breedmates to breed his own army of Gen-One assassins like Hunter with the Ancient.

I really liked how Jenna was a strong, smart and took matters into her own hands even when times were tough for her.  Brock was very caring with Jenna and protected her at no cost.

PNR Review: Deeper Than Midnight (The Midnight Breed, Book 9) [Mass Market Paperback]



I've finished "Deeper than Midnight" the 9th book in her Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian.

Product Description

DELIVERED FROM THE DARKNESS, A WOMAN FINDS HERSELF PLUNGED INTO A PASSION THAT IS DEEPER THAN MIDNIGHT.

At eighteen, Corinne Bishop was a beautiful, spirited young woman living a life of privilege as the adopted daughter of a wealthy family. Her world changed in an instant when she was stolen away and held prisoner by the malevolent vampire Dragos. After many years of captivity and torment, Corinne is rescued by the Order, a cadre of vampire warriors embroiled in a war against Dragos and his followers. Her innocence taken, Corinne has lost a piece of her heart as well — the one thing that gave her hope during her imprisonment, and the only thing that matters to her now that she is free.

Assigned to safeguard Corinne on her trip home is a formidable golden-eyed Breed male called Hunter. Once Dragos’s most deadly assassin, Hunter now works for the Order, and he’s hell-bent on making Dragos pay for his manifold sins. Bonded to Corinne by their mutual desire, Hunter will have to decide how far he’ll go to end Dragos’s reign of evil — even if carrying out his mission means shattering Corinne’s tender heart.

My Review:

Corrine Bishop is finally freed from captivity by the Order after she was kidnapped and endured torture for eight years by the sadistic and depraved Dragos.  Her only wish is to go home and see her very wealthy family and for them to help her find the one thing that means so much to her.  Hunter volunteers to take her back home.  Hunter was once a lethal assassin of Dragos but won his freedom and joined the Order an elite team of vampires that is determined to save their own kind and destroy Dragos once and for all.

Hunter is different because he was born from Dragos horrible experiments of using breedmates (human women able to breed with vampires) and an Ancient (aliens who mate with human women to create the Breeds).  He's been created to be the perfect assassin and not to feel any emotions but you can see he does have feelings around the kid who lives in the compound with them.  He's definitely the definition of the strong and silent type.

I really liked how Corinne was even stronger after enduring years of abuse and torture from a sadistic and twisted Dragos.  She's determined to find the one thing that matters to her - her son.

I really enjoyed the romance between Hunter and Corinne because he could see past her scars and imperfections and he knew what she went through and he didn't push her.  He was very gentle and very patient with her.  She taught him how to care and open up to someone.

4/5

Ashes of Midnight (Midnight Breed Series) (Mass Market Paperback)



I've just finished reading "Ashes of Midnight" the 6th book in her Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian.

Product Description

A woman driven by blood. A man thirsting for vengeance.

A place where darkness and desire meet...

As night falls, Claire Roth flees, driven from her home by a fiery threat that seems to come from hell itself. Then, from out of the flames and ash, a vampire warrior emerges. He is Andreas Reichen, her onetime lover, now a stranger consumed by vengeance. Caught in the cross fire, Claire cannot escape his savage fury—or the hunger that plunges her into his world of eternal darkness and unending pleasure.

Nothing will stop Andreas from destroying the vampire responsible for slaughtering his Breed brethren . . . even if he must use his former lover as a pawn in his deadly mission. Blood-bonded to his treacherous adversary, Claire can lead Andreas to the enemy he seeks, but it is a journey fraught with danger—and deep, unbidden desires. For Claire is the one woman Andreas should not crave, and the only one he’s ever loved. A dangerous seduction begins—one that blurs the lines between predator and prey, and stokes the flames of a white-hot passion that may consume all in its path. . . .
