Darker After Midnight (Midnight Breed 10)

(DARKER AFTER MIDNIGHT) BY [ADRIAN, LARA](AUTHOR)PAPERBACK - Lara Adrian Lara Adrian’s Midnight Breed paranormal romance series features vampires who’re offspring from long-ago alien visitors mixing with humans. They’ve survived undercover for centuries, with members of the Order enforcing the rules that protect the vampires from humans — and vice-versa.In Darker After Midnight, the action picks up where the previous book (I think it’s Deeper Than Midnight) left off — with Sterling Chase in custody after a police chase of suspected terrorists winds up in the front yard of the Order’s home. With the time Sterling buys, the Order focuses on getting to another safe location — before the humans figure out there’s more to the mansion than meets the eye…They’ve barely made it there before they realize an enemy is setting rogues loose, and with the indiscriminate feedings and resulting human deaths, it won’t be long before the existence of vampires is no longer a centuries-old secret. I guess that’s one way of setting yourself on top of the food chain — publicly.I did say this is paranormal romance, right? Yes, I did. And so this isn’t all hunt-down-the-bad-guy-and-save-the-world action, but we have MAIN CHARACTERS too. In this case, the self-sacrificing Sterling Chase and the human Tavia Fairchild, who’s the personal assistant to a Senator who gets entangled in the bad guy’s plans. Whew, that was a mouthful.Anyway. Sterling and Tavia end up having to save the world together. And while doing so, find out Tavia’s not quite human herself. Surprise!I thought that Darker After Midnight was an entertaining read, but there’s so much going on that it’s almost a miracle the hero and heroine manage to fall in love — never mind all the fun they have while doing so! The cast of characters are varied and “complicated”, at least where it regards matters of the heart, and the already-established couples are lovey-dovey all.the.time. which drove me a little nuts, honestly. All in all though, Darker After Midnight and the Midnight Breed series should satisfy paranormal romance fans who like their hot-and-heavy accompanied by drama and action.drey’s rating: Pick it up!
