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. . . .Point Containing Books Kiss of Midnight (Midnight Breed #1)

Good book and very imaginative storyline. Adrian really developed a unique concept of vampirism and vampire society. Although the warriors remind me of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, they are not carbon copies, and the Midnight Breed series is claiming its own place in the paranormal romance genre. I love warriors, and these guys are definitely creme de la creme. One thing that bothered me was the casual indifference about humans being killed by the Rogues. The Breed warriors did protect humans,Gabrielle is an up-and-coming (and stunningly beautiful) photographer. Lucan is an ancient (like 900 years) Breed Warrior, a vampire who hunts down vampires that have gone rogue and are wantonly killing humans. He falls for her, but cannot commit because he's a warrior and that's his number one priority. He's not about to tie himself down with a mate. She falls for him and discovers that he's a blood-sucking monster... or so she thinks.Turns out these vampires are noble and fabulously wealthy
Overall book rating: 5 (Cause Im not changing my original rating)Audio Book: Hillary Huber 4.5 Well done Woman stars!Book Cover: 2.5Second Time AroundSo Im thinking I should try some re-reads again. Lucan Thorne can never be wrong. I dont much care how many sand runs through the hourglass.I have a terrible soft spot for the boys of Midnight Breed. I read this the first time when my imagination was running wild in 2013 and I couldnt get enough of the Order. I think I read 8 books in a row or
On the surface, this book is everything you would expect from a good urban fantasy / paranormal romance novel. It has a quirky heroine, good and evil vampires, and quite a lot of smut. But again I feel like this book is nothing but the combined works of J.R.Ward, Sherrilyn Kenyon and Kresley Cole. It wasn't bad but I got nothing out of it, the story wasn't particularly different or clever and the characters were reincarnations of a thousand others that have graced the urban fantasy scene.Also,
I really enjoyed this vampire read.Plenty of room left open for this storyline to continue through the series.In other words... read this series in order.There was enough action and excitement to keep me interested beyond the romance.I was annoyed by the amount of time it took the H to realize the his true feelings for the h. But, given their pretty quick initial attraction, I guess we needed something to drag the romance aspect out for the rest of the book.
I've heard many different things about this series. Some have said that it's great while others have vehemently disagreed. I've heard that this is too much like J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series while others think that it's not like BDB at all. These differing opinions both came from people that I trust and who have the same taste in books as me. So I was a little hesitant to read this, least of all buy it; so I borrowed it from a friend. I'll probably go out and buy it for myself
I really enjoyed this book. Yes, its a blatant rip off of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, and while reading it I felt like I was cheating on my beloved Brothers, but I had been warned about that beforehand and because I was prepared for it, it probably didnt bother me as much as it would of if I was going in blind. Plus Im such a massive fan of the BDB that Im guaranteed to love anything that even slightly resembles it! Although I did roll my eyes in disgust when the heroine referred to the hero
