Ashes of Midnight (Midnight Breed book 6)

by Lara Adrian.

The 6th in the series follows Adreas Richen who the order thought dead in the last book but now we find out what really happened to him and his amazing pyrokinetic power. His long lost love Claire is blood bonded with his enemy Vilhem Roth and it's a twisty turvy story line that brings them together. Then we find out Roth is embroiled in the larger plot with Dragos and the order gets involved as well.

About halfway through I decided I was still loving the series so went ahead and bought the next 2 (7 and 8) which are about Kade and Brock, newer vampires to the order that we don't know much about. Looking forward to more detail on their histories.

Now that I'm working from home twice a week I'm definitely noticing that it takes longer to get through an audiobook than before! Might have to listen a bit at home to read all the books I have piled :)

Veil of Midnight (Midnight Breed book 5)

by Lara Adrian.

The 5th in the series and still a great series, this one follows Nikoli on a mission up to Montreal where he meets Renada who so far is the strongest/deadliest breedmate we've bet.  But she's in a tight spot and neither of them are up for trusting others so working together is difficult.  A few hitches here and there but otherwise they are a strong couple and the book was enjoyable, really moved the plot forward and made it clear where future books could go to finally resolve this overarching storyline.

Looking forward to the next one and I have a few new Linda Howards to read as well!

Midnight Rising (Midnight Breed book 4)

by Lara Adrian.

I couldn't stay away too long!  Back to the Midnight Breed series and we're following Rio (whom had a tragic loss in book 1 and has had a rough time recovering) and Dylan, a reporter who stumbles upon Rio.  This one was good, not as good as the other three, maybe because Dylan had to be abducted and wasn't trusted with the information up front because she was a reporter.  It made for a sketchy start to the book.  However it did get better and the overarching plotline that we've been trying to figure out really became much clearer in this book.  We know what's going on finally but no idea how they'll 'stop' it.

Midnight Awakening (Midnight Breed book 3)

by Lara Adrian.

Book 3 follows Tegan, and that's great because you're really wondering about him at this point. He's a tough guy to like from the outside but we get to see inside in this book and a new dimension is added.  Elise also has a past and the story is intriguing that brings them together.  The overall plot line/mystery really makes a lot of progress in this one as we get closer to the unknown evil and make a few resolutions in this one.

Kiss of Crimson (Midnight Breed book 2)

by Lara Adrian.

The second in the series, started out kind of rocky relationship wise but came together well in the end.  I love that it continues with a new warrior of the Breed but you still get to follow the previous characters since they're interconnected.  Dante and Tess' story has a lot of action and also moves along the overall plot quite a bit.  I really enjoy this series!

Kiss of Midnight (Midnight Breed book 1)

by Lara Adrian.

A new author and vampire series to try out. I got 3 for 2 credits and thought I'd give them a try. The first in the series follows Lucan, a GenOne (generation one) vampire who founded a group of warriors who hunt the Rogue vampires that have given in to blood lust. He himself is fighting blood lust constantly and trying to hide that from his brothers.

Then he meets Gabrielle who is marked as a Breed Mate (if he drinks her blood he binds her to him forever). She gets tangled into his world unknowingly and eventually he brings her under his protection with the truth.

Overall I really enjoyed the book. A few new twists on Vampire lore and some new 'history', like vampires are born from human mothers with vampire fathers. The group of warriors includes a few that are already blood bonded and a few others that will have their own stories that I'm looking forward to in the next few books. I will definitely continue with this series for a while!
