I have forever been a dedicated fan of the Midnight Breed, each one has gotten better and better to me. And rumors have been circulating for some time that this could be the last book. And if it is, Adrian has finished up nicely. (But I don't think this is the end) Not only is this about Chase and Tavia, but it's about the war with Dragos. Chase has to come back from the edge of bloodlust and Tavia has just discovered she is not human....but Breed. A whole new kind of Breed. Half Gen One and half Breedmate. Their love story is not so much passionate, but one of overcoming a life no one wished for or expected. I enjoyed the "reality" of their storyline. We also get to see everyone again, and they all have a part to play. Adrian definitely spins things around with a new theory of where the Breedmates originated from, and the storyline as a whole must take a new route with Dragos finally defeated. The Breed are out in the open and the world must come to accept them and work together to co-exist in this new era. Where will Adrian take us next, all the couples are having children and building lives together. But if we have no enemy to fight, where will this series go??

Review originally posted at Ramblings From This Chick
Darker After Midnight was a phenomenal read that I just could not put down. Sterling Chase's book was everything that I wanted plus so much more.
I had a lot of expectations for this book. I've been waiting for Chase's book for what seems like forever. From the first time he came across the page I was hooked. And with the way the things went with the last book I honestly had know idea how things were going to go with this one. Just how was Chase going to be redeemed and get his HEA. Oh.My.Goodness, but this book was AH-Mazing and I needn't have worried. There were just so many different twist and turns that happened not only with Chase but with some of the other Breed members.
Like I said previously, with the way things left off with the last book Chase had a lot to overcome and make up for. He had so many demons eating away inside and to see him attempting to fix and make up for everything was a little hard to watch. Your heart aches and you want everything to be rainbows and butterflies but that is not the way things go with this series and I wouldn't have it any other way. I feel after all the hardships Chase dealt with, he came out a stronger man.
When we were introduced to Tavia in the previous book I wasn't quite sure of her and how she would be with Chase. Oh, I shouldn't have worried because these two quickly became one of my favorite couples. I loved watching them together and seeing their relationship grow into what it became. They both brought out the best in one another. I loved that they both were honest with their feelings and didn't play games with one another.
Tavia wasn't just some simpering female that waited around for her hero to come and save the day. She was there for Chase during his darkest times and she wasn't skittish or afraid. I honestly have a little girl crush on Tavia. I love that she is willing to kick ass to save the man that she loves and if need be sacrifice herself to help him and his cause. There aren't many people that love with that kind of fierceness and I found it refreshing.
With the way things ended in this book I can't wait to get my hands on Mira's book. Yes, that's right, Mira's book is next and I just know it's going to be awesome. Mira is another one that has fascinated me since she was introduced and I am so curious to see how she grows up.
So make sure you go out and get this book because you certainly won't be disappointed.

I really thought Adrian's Breed series was getting better and better but I had a hard time with this one. The beginning was rather redundant and slow. Chase, who used to be my favorite, was kind of annoying and made such bad decisions. Tavia was awesome though. Her character totally made senes. By the middle of the book the pace picked up. I wasn't that into the love story this time because Chase lost his sex appeal for me here. I actually enjoyed the battle with Drago more.
It would be interesting to see where this goes. I find it hard to believe that Adrian wouldn't want to continue with Nathan, Mira, and the younger generation. Plus they would have to help all the other special Breeds out there like Tavia.
Decent read. Not her best but definitely not her worse.

Lara Adrian doesn't write pulse-pounding heart-stopping action or real brain-teasers. Her Breed series is pretty predictable & plods along at a nice steady pace.
However, her books ALWAYS leave me satisfied at the end--which says a lot! This book introduced some new twists & turns & characters that set "the Order" on a new path. It was a very nice way to transition from the old to the new.
This was a delightful story for Chase. I never felt it was too stale or boring, it kept moving forward just fast enough to keep me going. She'll never be as riveting a read as JR Ward, but I continue to enjoy her vampire genre nonetheless.

This is Sterling Chase's book, and a good addition to the series. I don't want to give anything away, but while some crises come to an end, new situations arise. The Breed/Rogue war has heated to the point of its climax. While fighting his bloodlust, Chase is also trying to redeem himself by continuing the fight against rogue's even if he's no longer a member of the Order. He's also gotten involved with a mysterious woman, who has powers that should be impossible. Their relationship seems a repeat of all the other bondings up to now, and comes off rather tired. While the romance doesn't do much for me, the plot is enough to make this worth reading.
Great read ! Having read all in this series, this one doesn't disappoint. In my opinion she is right on par with J.R. Ward.

Chase is battling blood lust and is doing a bunch of things that he won't normally do. Now he is arrested for trying to kill a senator and a bombing on the UN building and is in human jail.

Was slow starting (or maybe have read too many of this series) but action picked up after 150 pages or so. Given the ending of this book, am wondering where the story will go....
