Review by Vicky London
Ashes of Midnight is the sixth book in Lara Adrian’s Midnight Breed series. Here’s the book cover 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 line between predator and prey, and stokes the flames of a white-hot passion that may consume all in its path. . . .
I’ve really been looking forward to Andreas getting a book of his own. I liked reading about him in previous books because he struck me as a sexy European playboy who also had a caring, responsible side to him. Claire wasn’t quite as interesting to me which was okay because Andreas was really the focus of the story. I liked that his desire for revenge, even at the cost to himself, was a well thought out decision with acceptance of the consequences. The plot was entertaining, exciting and fresh. The series seems to be at a turning point with the events of the last chapter and I very much want to see what direction Lara Adrian will take things. If you haven’t had a chance to ready this series, I highly recommend it. It’s a little similar to J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series but without the cheesiness and with stronger romantic elements.
For a limited time, if you sign up for Lara’s mailing list you can read the first four chapters online. Go to LaraAdrian.com for more information.
