   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) JBarringer | Dec 15, 2023 |  Just finished my reread and uping this to 4 stars. Definitely a better read the 2nd time around. I was looking forward to this one. I knew it was a jump 20 years in the future from the last book and that is actually one of my favorite parts of the book. To see Nathan, Mira and Kellan all grown up and being a part of things. There was plenty of suspense and action. All the mysteries and intrigues are there. Although I love the Midnight Breed series, this was not one of my favorite of the series. My biggest problem was the redundancy throughout the book. Way too many words used over and over again to explain Mira and Kellan's actions and feelings. If at some point this repetitiveness had stopped I would have given her 4 stars. I think all those words could have been better used to make all the other characters and situations more vivid. Because, in truth, it is my ONLY problem with the book. But for me, it was work to read this one. It didn't hold me tight in its grip like the most of the books in this series does.

After seeing a glimpse of the future Kellan makes choices that end up making his dire future come true. Mira is the optimist believing they will find a way. While this could be a good book for others I found myself unhappy with the book, most of the way through. The story seems to meander, and in the beginning it was hard to stay engaged. It's also very clear that his choice to lead a rebel group played into making the vision he saw become reality, when he should have been either a) working to avoid it or b) using the time he had to enjoy his life with Mira. I like reading about protective alpha males but Kellan comes across as less confident more I'm taking credit and responsibility for all failures, which comes across more narcisstic than heroic. I wanted to like this story but halfway through I wanted to quit listening. I also didn't understand the purpose of the rebel group, their leader was a Breed and another was dating a Breed, so what exactly where the rebelling about? It was frustrating seeing Mira change from the initially strong warrior to behaving almost childlike, immature and insecure. **SPOILER** About 3/4 of the way into the book, we are made aware of a new threat, Opus Nostrum. A group of thirteen, who keep their identities hidden accept for one and supposedly the group is made up of both Breeds and humans. This group claims they want to bring a new order and peace, determined to shape the world with their own vision, killing many to bring their own version of peace. This also disappointed me because it is so similar to Dragos' agenda, even if there's a surprise reveal at the end. Overall I LIKE this series, but this is the first book that didn't work for me, I truly hope the next book brings back the strong characters and storylines I've come to expect from this author.

HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In this pulse-pounding and thrillingly sensual novel, Lara Adrian returns to the mesmerizing world of the Midnight Breed, following new characters into a dark future where an uneasy peace can unravel into warâ??and a great betrayal can mask an all-consuming love. Twenty years after the terror of First Dawnâ??when mankind learned that vampires lived secretly among themâ??the threat of violence reigns as the two species struggle to coexist. The only group preserving the fragile harmony is the Order, an elite cadre of Breed warriors dedicated to protecting humans and vampires alike. And in this precarious world of torn loyalties and shattered trust, Mira, a fiery squad captain, finds that every fight bears an intensely personal cost. Raised among the Order, Mira has always believed in the warrior's code of swiftâ??and even lethalâ??justice. But the one thing she desires more than the Order's hard-won acceptance is Kellan Archer, a sexy but troubled Breed fighter. In love with him since childhood, Mira once broke through his tough exterior during an unexpected night of rapture, but the next day he mysteriously disappeared, never to return. Kellan didn't think he would ever see Mira againâ??or have to confront the truth of why he left. After abandoning the Order years ago, he now leads a band of human rebels intent on carrying out their own vigilante rule of law. Yet a high-profile kidnapping assignment brings him face-to-face with the past he sought to avoid, and the striking woman he has tried desperately to forget. And as tensions mount and the risk of bloodshed grows, Kellan and Mira must take sidesâ??between the competing missions that dominate their lives, and the electrifying passion that claims their hearts.
