Hope suddenly glimmers on the horizon when Chase meets Tavia Fairchild, a beautiful young woman who may be much more than she first seems. Will Chase be able to overcome his agonizing addiction? Given her past can Tavia accept her attraction to Chase and bring him back from the brink? Will Tavia be able to face the truth of who and what she truly is?
Any dramatic change in the well established world of a series is tempting disaster. Rarely does an author manage not to destroy the backbone of the storyline. That said, not only did Lara Adrian pull this off successfully, but this is the best book so far, by far, in an incredible series. Ms. Adrian has not only made the changes work within the fabric of the story, she has opened it to a line of nearly endless possibilities. There are thousands of authors who write paranormal romance but out of that number there is only a handful of those that are genuinely worth reading and Lara Adrian is definitely one of them. If you have somehow missed reading the "Midnight Breed" series, start now!

I have been reading about this author everywhere. I still haven't picked up any of her work yet. Maybe next year. Thanks for your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThere aren't many paranormal authors that I defintitely buy regardless of reviews or the synopsis, but Lara Adrian is definitely one of them. If you haven't read the series I would suggest you start at the beginning or at least read enough reviews to follow the story line changes through out the books. That way you will be able to appreciate Ms. Adrian's direction and the characters' history. The only other thing I would add is that the story line is her own and it heads into areas not usually attempted by other authors. Ms. Adrian's books have it all, alpha males, strong female chacters, warriors, the social elite, the unequaled evil mastermind, battles, bloodshed, sex and most important the unexpected. Enjoy!
