Product Description:
With a dagger in her hand and vengeance on her mind, Darkhaven beauty Elise Chase prowls Boston’s streets in search of retribution against the Rogue vampires who took from her everything she cherished. Using an extraordinary psychic gift, she tracks her prey, well aware that the power she possesses is destroying her. She must learn to harness this gift, and for that she can turn to only one man—the deadliest of the Breed warriors, Tegan.
No stranger to loss, Tegan knows Elise’s pain. He knows fury, but when he slays his enemies it is with ice in his veins. He is perfect in his self-control, until Elise seeks his aid in her personal war. An unholy alliance is forged—a bond that will link them by blood and vow—and plunge them into a tempest of danger, desire, and the darkest passions of the heart. . . .

I have been looking for another series that could compare to the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series. This is right up there. I have enjoyed this series and have not been able to put it down. Both series are excellent to read for anyone looking to fill the twilight void.

I have just recently been introduced to Lara Adrian and I am in love. The book just made me want more! I have read them all and none have disappointed!

I'm fairly new to Lara Adrian - I really enjoyed her first two books of the MB series, very much so. I had to just write a quickie about this third installment of the series though, because it totally blew me away! I loved the hero of course (Tegan), but it is our heroine Elise that really stood out to me. She has been the best heroine of the MB series so far! She was so completely involved and pro-active that I was cheering the whole way through the book. Elise was introduced to us in the last book (maybe in the first book too, but I don't think so), and the transformation that she goes through is intense. Tegan sure goes through a strong transformation as well, but he couldn't have done it without Elise, and her worth to the Order in general became critical as the story developed.
That aside, the romance between her and tough-guy Tegan is magnificent and passionate. The plot and the action added and exciting dimension to the story, and a suspenseful set-up for the next book. Fun!!
Lara Adrian's writing style reminds me a bit of Kresley Cole, who I adore. Lara is definitely on my list of favorites now. She's not over-wordy. All the characters are believable, and interesting. Good, good reading.

This is third in the Midnight Breed Series by Lara Adrian. Finally! The first two books didn't impress me. This one did. I loved Tegan. I loved he plot, the characters and just about everything else in this book. It was a great story that kept my interest. Glad I decided to plod along and try a couple more of this authors books. This one is a winner! Good paranormal Read.

In fairness, I've only read up to this book in the series. But, this is the best yet. So good in fact that I'm considering stopping here, ending my enjoyment of this series on a high note :)
The book has all of the elements of a great read: Good plotting with minimal holes, good pacing, no fat (i.e. no wandering wordiness, no purple prose, no unnecessary anything), and endearing characters. What I love about this author is that she makes all of this vampire craziness seem, well, sane. The main characters in the book, Teagan and Elise are entirely believable. I like them as a couple. Contrary to some other reviewers, I believe they are well suited for one another. He's all aloof warrior and she's everything he's not: cultured, sheltered, refined. I loved watching Elise evolve from a sheltered socialite with class based prejudices against the Order to a woman who, driven by her own personal pain and loss, develops an understanding of and respect for the Order's work and methods.
I loved this book on many levels. I typically don't like paranormal (esp. vampire) novels, but this author has won me over to the genre generally and this series in particular.
Excellent work Ms. Adrian.
