Spoilers:
I read the second book of this series first and of course went back for more, reading this one 2nd. Its not as good as the others but it is a haft to. This series is great, its full of action, love, passion, and suspense. Adrian writes extremely well, she give you twist and turns that leave you guessing, that is very hard to find. This is so much more then a average Vampire Romance, its got meat on its bones. The first book involves the leader of the Breed Lucan, he is interesting enough, but his love is more so, Gabrielle has allot of faucets to her personality. She is very funny as well. If you pick this book up the first chapters will be a little detailed and may even be hard to get into, but as you do it gets better and better. Once you get to the second and 3rd book you will be hooked. I know there are a lot of JR WARD fans out there that think there is nothing better, but I think LARA ADRAIN blows WARD out of the water in the Vampire Romance genre. Her writing is fresh, provocative, highly suspenseful, and very modern. The only thing you are missing here if you are into WARD's style is the perverse side, which honestly I didn't miss at all.
The Midnight Breed is sexy, lethal, and 100% alpha! November 11, 2008

Lucan Thorne deals in death. Born of The Ancients, he is a first generation vampire warrior sworn to protect his kind and the lives of the innocent humans who live within his domain. Rogue vampires drunk with bloodlust are organizing to wage a war that threatens to destroy their quiet existence. As the Rogues stalk human prey becoming more violent and bloodthirsty, Lucan and his fellow Breed warriors battle to keep the world from slipping into chaos. Committed to the Breed and filled with an appetite for destruction, Lucan never considered taking a Breedmate...that was until he met Gabrielle.
Gabrielle Maxwell views the world through the lens of a camera. As a photographer, she has always been drawn to desolate places. Some of her work could be described as menacing, but nothing could compare to the gruesome images of the fanged monsters she captured on her cell phone while out one night celebrating with her friends. The gory scene sent her fleeing into the night with evidence that would land her right in the middle of a blood war. Dismissed by the police and scared out of her mind, Gabrielle tried to get past her ordeal. She had no idea that someone had followed her home. And how could she have known that her life would forever be changed the night the very handsome "Detective" Lucan Thorne decided to pay her a visit?
Lucan arrived at Gabrielle's door with the intention of getting those valuable pictures, but he discovered much more. Gabrielle bore the mark of a Breedmate; A human female possessing the genetic ability to carry a vampire child. Resistant to the mental persuasion of the vampire breed, Gabrielle has an innate ability to locate structures occupied by vampires as evidenced in her photographs. All these things add up to danger for Gabrielle and the more time Lucan spends with her, the more he hungers to protect and claim her as his mate. But a warrior is not husband material and Lucan is barely holding back his own demons. Can Gabrielle break through the walls that Lucan has erected around his heart or will Lucan turn out to be more dangerous to Gabrielle than any of the Rogues lurking in the night?
Lara Adrian's KISS OF MIDNIGHT is brimming with all the things we love about vampire romance. Lucan's dark brooding dominance is tempered by Gabrielle's gentle but stubborn disposition. Together they experience passionate highs and heartbreaking lows, but always seem to find a way back to each other. Readers will note many similarities to other popular vampire romance series, but The Midnight Breed will become a favorite for those who love their vampires to be sexy, lethal, and 100% alpha.

 FANTASTIC!! October 30, 2008
Loved this book!
Very exciting and nerve-raking, you'll be bitting you nails through many pages.
Can't wait to start the next!

It's been said before - JR Ward did it better, much better. I really couldn't care too much for the characters and found the main relationship a bit unreal - from mad desire, to total rejection to undying love after just a handful of interactions? Nope, didn't work for me. I also found some of the heroine's leaps of logic a bit much, whatever, I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more had I not read the Black Dagger Brotherhood books.
Awesome! October 6, 2008
