Deeper Than Midnight (Midnight Breed, #9)Deeper Than Midnight by Lara Adrian

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blurb:

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.

Taken by Midnight (Midnight Breed, #8)Taken by Midnight by Lara Adrian

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Blurb:

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.

My Review:

This is the best series I've read in a long time!

I enjoyed Jenna and Brock very much. I didn't think I'd enjoy her character since I thought she'd be like Renata (which I just can't love, but I'm trying). But Jenna was the perfect mate, even though she wasn't a breedmate, for Brock. I have a feeling Jenna & Brock will show up in future books since she is going through some sort of change.

I can't wait for the next book to come out in June 2011 featuring Hunter, since I just can't imagine what he'll be like with a woman! LOL I read on Laura Adrian's webpage that she also has book #10 coming out featuring Sterling "Harvard" Chase! Now *that* should be a good one too! I hope she continues to add new characters so we'll have even more books to look forward to! Yes, I'm greedy! This series is really THAT good!

Shades of Midnight (Midnight Breed, #7)Shades of Midnight by Lara Adrian

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blurb:

In a frozen wilderness steeped in darkness, the lines between good and evil, lover and enemy, are never black or white but drawn in Shades of Midnight.

Something inhuman is stalking the frigid Alaskan wilds, leaving unspeakable carnage in its wake. For bush pilot Alexandra Maguire, the killings stir memories of a horrific event she witnessed as a child and evoke in her the inexplicable sense of otherness she has long felt within herself but never fully understood . . . until a darkly seductive stranger with secrets of his own enters her world.

Sent from Boston on a mission to investigate the savage attacks and stop the slaughter, vampire warrior Kade has his own reasons for returning to the frigid, forbidding place of his birth. Haunted by a secret shame, Kade soon realizes the stunning truth of the threat he faces–a threat that will jeopardize the fragile bond he has formed with the courageous, determined young woman who arouses his deepest passions and most primal hungers. But in bringing Alex into his world of blood and darkness, Kade must confront both his own personal demons and the even greater evil that could destroy all he holds dear.

Ashes of Midnight (Midnight Breed, #6)Ashes of Midnight by Lara Adrian

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blurb:

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. . . .

My Review:

Great Balls of Fire!

That is what this one could have been titled, but I'm glad she stuck with "Ashes of Midnight".

This one was interesting, lots of imagination needed to picture a man walking and on fire.

But it was a great read, as are all the books so far in this series. Just be sure to read them all in order, as each book takes something very important from the previous book. The story just keeps getting bigger and bigger!

Veil of Midnight (Midnight Breed, #5)Veil of Midnight by Lara Adrian

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blurb:

Bound by blood, addicted to danger, they'll enter the darkest—and most erotic—place of all.

A warrior trained in bullets and blades, Renata cannot be bested by any man—vampire or mortal. But her most powerful weapon is her extraordinary psychic ability—a gift both rare and deadly. Now a stranger threatens her hard-won independence—a golden-haired vampire who lures her into a realm of darkness…and pleasure beyond imagining.

A combat-loving adrenaline junkie, Nikolai dispenses his own justice to enemies of the Breed—and his latest quarry is a ruthless assassin. One woman stands in his way: the seductive, cool-as-ice bodyguard, Renata. But Renata’s powers are put to the test when a loved one, a child, is threatened and she’s forced to turn to Niko for help. As the two join forces, as desire fans the flames of a deeper hunger, Renata’s life is under siege by a man who offers the exquisite pleasure of a blood bond—and a passion that could save or doom them both forever.…

My Review:

Slow Start, but WOW! what a finish!

I LOVED Nikolai in this book, but Renata just turned me off in the beginning, I guess cause she was using her powers against him. But I warmed up to her later in the book.

I just can't get enough of Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed Series. I don't know *what* I'm going to do when I get to the last page of the last book!

Midnight Rising (Midnight Breed, #4)Midnight Rising by Lara Adrian

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blurb:

In a world of shadows and dark, consuming hungers, desire is the deadliest weapon...
For journalist Dylan Alexander, it began with the discovery of a hidden tomb, thrusting her into the center of a gathering storm of violence and secrets. But nothing is as dangerous as the scarred, lethally seductive man who rises from the shadows to draw her into his world of dark desire and endless night.

Fueled by pain and rage over a shattering betrayal, the warrior Rio has pledged his life to the war against the Rogues. He will let nothing stand in his way, least of all a mortal woman with the power to expose the entire vampire race. For an ancient evil has been awakened, and a stunning darkness is on the rise. Suddenly Dylan is powerless to resist Rio's touch, even as she uncovers a shocking link to her own past. And now she must choose: Leave Rio's midnight realm, or risk it all for the man who has shown her true passion and the infinite pleasures of the heart. . . .

My Review:

This was another really good book in this series. Took me longer to read than I intended, had so much going on, (my point being) this was the type of book that when I wasn't reading it, I couldn't wait to get back to it to see what would happen next! Beauty and the Beast, as Rio refers to himself, and this funny and cute woman, in the book... hmmph, more like Beauty and the Totally Hot Hunk!! Rio & Dylan are so sweet and so sexy, that you just wanted them to "be together", to make that final blood bond between Vampire & Breedmate, you were left breathless in anticipation along with the characters, wondering, waiting, hoping.... A lesson in never judge a book by it's cover! Rio's cover is just fine thank you! I really enjoyed Dylan's sense of humor sprinkled throughout this book. I was rooting for this couple from the first words they spoke in the cave. You could just feel the connection! This series just keeps getting better. I can't wait to read the next in this series, Veil of Midnight, to see what happens with Nikolai, another of these sexy Breed Warriors! Will he too find his Breedmate? I certainly hope so!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blurb:

He watches her from across the crowded dance club, a sensual black-haired stranger who stirs Gabrielle Maxwell’s deepest fantasies. But nothing about this night—or this man—is what it seems. For when Gabrielle witnesses a murder outside the club, reality shifts into something dark and deadly. In that shattering instant she is thrust into a realm she never knew existed—a realm where vampires stalk the shadows and a blood war is set to ignite.

Lucan Thorne despises the violence carried out by his lawless brethren. A vampire himself, Lucan is a Breed warrior, sworn to protect his kind—and the unwitting humans existing alongside them—from the mounting threat of the Rogues. Lucan cannot risk binding himself to a mortal woman, but when Gabrielle is targeted by his enemies, he has no choice but to bring her into the dark underworld he commands.

Here, in the arms of the Breed’s formidable leader, Gabrielle will confront an extraordinary destiny of danger, seduction, and the darkest pleasures of all. . . .

My Review:

I loved this book, I devoured it and wanted more! Thankfully this was the debut novel in this sizzling vampire series. These books are irresistibly passionate, edgy with touch of darkness and sizzling, erotic sex!

This was a yummy book and it's definitely a different take on the vampire race.
