Best novel in this series, hands down. Great character developments, awesome plot, and a good base of descriptiveness. Amelia Atwater-Rhodes has seriously grown as a writer since the debut of her first novel. Bravo. Can't wait for more! ( )

*spoiler alert* *spoiler alert* *spoiler alert*

A couple things made me crazy about this book.

Firstly, the characters are irresistibly intriguing, especially Jaguar and Ravyn. Jaguar being the dark, mysterious, yet warm character all teenage girls go crazy for, and Ravyn being the logical, tough chick who can kick a%* for work, self-defense, or for no reason at all.

The concept of a vampire hunter under a covert mission just clicks. Turquoise and Ravyn infiltrating a slave house, as slaves with awesome combat skills, is amusing to imagine.

And then, the gentle slavedriver who falls in love with his slave is almost funny. It might be a cliché, now that I think about it, but it's still touching. Did I mention that the head slavedriver is a shapeshifting jaguar?

This, in my opinion, is the best book of the series. ( )

Midnight Predator should have and could have been better. The idea was interesting and the writing was simple yet engaging. Turquoise is a assassin hired to kill a very bad vampire. In order to gain access to her, she has to return to Midnight, a place where vampires live with their human pets, which she once was.

My main issue with this book seems frivolous. The character names border on ridiculous. Turquoise, Jeshikah, Ravyn, Jaguar. Reading these names is distracting. In my head, Jeshikah sounds like Jessica, with a lisp. The evilest vampire to ever have lived shouldn't have a name that makes me think of speech impediments. This is a glaring issue that prevents me from staying engrossed in the plot and action.

At this point in her writing career, Amelia Atwater-Rhodes was a teenager. While her stories are entertaining and her writing is decent, the fact of the matter is that she was writing like a teenager. Had these books been written by an adult, they wouldn't have been published. I don't dislike these books, but everything about them is average at best. ( )

It's been awhile since I read this, but I remember enjoying it, though being a bit shocked at how very sexy it was for a teen book... (Though I expect my sensibilities have changed over my years of reading teen fiction!) ( )

I enjoyed this book. it was an easy read. It pulled me in fast and kept me there. I liked having the background memories in Turquoise's mind coming up, it makes her more real. The suspense thought the book after she gets to Midnight between her and Jaguar is great you never know if they are falling in love or just respect each other company. ( )
