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 … vampires stalk the shadows and a blood war is set to ignite.
Lucan Thorne despises the violence carried out by his lawless brethren.

I could not put this book down, I found this author accidentally. So well written, how the story evolves just sucks you in and you have to see what happens. The characters are so well written, I just couldn’t put it down, and to find it was the first in a series. Enjoy the ride this author takes you on…..
I have had a lot of reads lately where I started out liking the story but by the halfway point or sometimes before I got bored and didn’t care one way or the other about the characters or their outcome anymore. It’s like the story couldn’t sustain itself. Or it would get super repetitive and I would hear the exact same thing like 10 times and it …
My first breed warrior book and I was hooked!!! Awesome characters too.
This was such a treat! I hadn’t planned on doing a review only a rating, but couldn’t resist. Happened across this in the stacks while reshelving another item (it’s nice when academic libraries have great leisure reading sections!). Now I’ve pulled it into my reading rotation-looking forward to the next title in the series.

I enjoyed the different vampire world that Lara Adrian created, the depth of the characters, and the twisting plot. Like all first books in a series, this one had to pause in the action from time to time for explanation, but she did it in such a way that it was not boring or textbook-ish.
The story opens with a bang as the heroine witnesses a …
Kiss of Midnight is the first book in the Midnight Breed series and this was just a great way to start off a new series. I was just entranced by this story and I had so much fun meeting Lucas and Gabrielle. I just couldn’t help but root for them. I can’t wait to read more wonderful stories in this series.
I hadn’t read a Lara Adrian book in quite some time, and I realized just how much I missed this series. I loved the story of Gabrielle and Lucan. It was sexy and steamy, sweet and dangerous. There were revelations that answered some questions and heartbreaking situations that left devastation in their aftermath. I had moments of anger, some that …
Wonderful
It has been awhile since I first read this book and hadn’t written a review. This is a great beginning of this series. It has a different twist on the story of vampires but it is great. Can’t wait to re-read further into the series. Love the writing.

Review:
I wanted to like this book. The synopsis sounded good but sadly …
In this astonishing world vampire warriors set out to save mankind from rogue vampires, riddled with action discovery and steamy sex. I couldn’t put the book down looking for the next. Hot romance.
Absolutely enjoyed this book. Full of action, love, despair, trials & tribulations on personal levels.
