This moved a bit slow until closer to the end then.....BAM! I was so shocked when I turned the page to find the epilogue. Nathan's story is over $10 on Amazon....I was on the fence about buying it but the price will confirm my decision to stop now! GREED! ( )

Darker After Midnight

Synopsis
After placing the entire Breed race at risk of discovery, Dragos is on the offensive and the warriors are playing catch up. At the heart of the conflict are Sterling Chase, a warrior struggling against his bloodlust, and Tavia Fairchild, a young woman who is not what she seems. Together Chase and Tavia will have to accept their true natures if they are to defeat Dragos before he unleashes hell on earth.

Review
A satisfying conclusion to the existing story lines.

Chase and Tavia's romance is hot and heavy but definitely not the best in the series. Chase has always been an ambiguous character for me, and while his HEA is well deserved and quite rewarding, his redemption is nonetheless not as convincing as it could have been. He seems to overcome all obstacles far too quickly and conveniently. Tavia's character is extremely interesting but I don't want to give too much away, so suffice it to say that she is strong, independent and kick-ass (I particularly enjoyed the way in which she contributes to Dragos's downfall).

The scenes involving the entire Breed warrior "family" are a definite highlight. It is very gratifying to see everyone together even if it is a little saccharin sweet. Some of the newer characters such as Lazaro, Kellan, Nathan and Mira are compelling and I am eager to see where Adrian takes them.

While the plot includes several cliched and predictable moments, the development of Dragos's reign of terror and his ultimate demise is action packed and thrilling with some surprising twists. The ending feels a little rushed but the hints at future stories are intriguing and Adrian establishes a compelling new mythology that will make a good foundation on which to build the next installments.

In sum, a worthwhile read for those who are lovers of the Breed. ( )

Awesome! I have been waiting for Chase's story and it did not disappoint. He is more than half crazed when he meets Tavia. And wow! What a surprise Tavia is!!
This book is pivotal in the Midnight Breed series. Every word is essential to the story. It flows flawlessly. Everything is non-stop action. The war is ON. Dragos pulls his big guns and blood flows.
Filled to the brim with adult action/suspense and romance.
I can not describe how much I thoroughly enjoyed every part of this one.
Lara Adrian shows her Undeniable Genius in her writing of this one. ( )

It was even better as a re-read. ( )

I already miss reading the Midnight Breed. Having withdrawls. ( )
