Book Review: Kiss of Midnight

Kiss of Midnight (Midnight Breed, #1) Kiss of Midnight by Lara Adrian

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Kiss of Midnight is the first book in Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed series. Lucan Thorne is a Breed warrior, a vampire who protects his kind by trying to rid the world of Rogue vampires. Rogue vampires have given in to Bloodlust – an addiction to blood that turns them into feral savages. Gabrielle, a human, witnesses a Rogue attack. Lucan goes to her intending to wipe the memory of the attack from her mind but ends up strangely drawn to her.

I thought this book was a creative twist on the vampire mythology. In Adrian's world, vampires are descended from aliens that crashed here long ago. New vampires are born when a vampire (who are only male) mate with a human female, called a Breedmate.

The chemistry between Lucan and Gabrielle was absolutely electric. The whole book was charged with tension, between Lucan and Gabrielle and between the Breeds and the Rogues. There were several twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend this book for vampire/paranormal romance fans.

    I really liked that in this series, the vampire “twist” is that they stem from aliens. I thought that was a neat way of explaining it. Glad you liked it! :)
