Bound by blood, addicted to danger, they'll enter the darkest - and most erotic - place of all...A warrior trained in blades and bullets, Renata cannot be bested by any man - mortal or vampire. But her most powerful weapon is her extraordinary psychic ability, a gift both rare and deadly. Now a stranger threatens her hard-won independence, a golden-haired vampire who lures her into a realm of darkness...and pleasure beyond imagination. A combat-loving adrenaline junkie, Nikolai dispenses his own justice to enemies of the Breed - and his latest quarry is a ruthless assassin. Only one woman stands in his way, the seductive and cool-as-ice bodyguard Renata. But Renata's resolve is put to the test when a loved one is threatened and she's forced to turn to Nico for help. And as the two join forces, desire fans the flames of a deeper hunger...

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Lara Adrian's vampire series is of course very similar to J R Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood books. This is not a bad thing as Ward's books are very good, but it does mean that each new book from Lara Adrian doesn't feel as fresh as it could. The same is true of the newest release, 'Veil of Midnight', which follows the love life of vampire Nikolai. Nikolai was always rather a sketchy character in the previous books, one we didn't read all that much about and who wasn't generally the centre of the action.
In this story Nikolai is sent to Montreal to check up on one of the few remaining Gen One vampires, the rather unpleasant Sergei Yakut. The events of this story follow on from the previous ones and so a newcomer to the series might not always entirely follow what's going on. The Gen One vampires are being killed and the Order (warrior group of vampires) are trying to protect these earliest vampires, the result of a mating between alien beings and humans.
Nikolai doesn't get much of a welcome from Sergei Yakut, unfortunately, but he does bump into one of Sergei's women, Renata. Renata is very unusual in that she has a certain psychic power that can temporarily disable vampires; she is also looking after a young girl, Mira, who can predict the future. When Sergei Yakut is attacked, Nikolai is kidnapped. His rescue comes, unexpectedly, from Renata who needs him to help her rescue Mira. But Renata doesn't trust the vampires and it's possible that her mission to rescue Mira might work against the plans of the Order to get to the bottom of the attacks on the Gen One vampires.
I enjoyed reading this book, finding the pacing good as always. I did feel, though, that the characterisation was a bit sparse. I didn't know Niko before the story began, I didn't feel I knew him a great deal more afterwards. Renata, too, was sometimes something of a mystery, although she was an appealing heroine. Other parts of the plot were moved on, such as the occasional focus on Andreas Reichen in Berlin, but the overall story in this book felt at times a little thin. It was enjoyable but perhaps a little more run-of-the-mill than some of the others.

The Midnight Breed series is amazing and as usual Lara met my expectations with this book. It is one of my fav, I couldn't put it down. The way Nikolai and Ranata instantly became attracted to each other had me hooked. Their relationship was steamy as hell, packed full of love, lust, and a little emotional turmoil. I love the way he constantly tried to protected her, and how he instantly fell for Mira. It takes a strong man to accept another's child as his own so easily. I also love Renata's take-no-prisoner's attitude, she is one tough woman. If you're a big paranormal romance fan then I advise you to go to your nearest bookshop and buy this series.

I started reading these book while I was waiting for the next Black Dagger Brotherhood book to come out and got hooked on these too.
I really loved them.
At first I really didnt like the main female in this book and though id be left dissapointed, but the more I read the more I like her, until I was just as hooked on this book as all the others!
I do think we could have got to know more about Nikolai, as i think hes one of the character we know the least about it, but still a fantastic book.
Im giving it 4 out of 5 because this is probably my least favourite of the series, but this doesnt mean it isnt good, its still great, a definate must read!
If you like BDB, Demonica novels, Lords of The Underworld, Immortals After Dark, you'll probably like these books too.
