In EDGE OF DAWN, Lara Adrian takes readers 20 years into the future where Mira is no longer the sweet, young child to be protected anymore. She has grown into a woman of worth, a warrior herself. As part of the Lucan's warriors, the Order, she is a major piece in the movement against the rebels. However, one mistake has her on the sidelines for now until she is able to tone down her fiery personality. In a chance meeting, Mira encounters the one person whom she thought was lost to her forever. Her childhood best friend and first lover, Kellan Archer proves himself to be alive, but living life as a rebel leader named Bowman. Torn between those repressed memories resurfacing and the fact that Kellan is an enemy -- even worse, the leader of her enemies, Mira is at a lost of what to do. Will she follow her heart or her head? Is she willing to lose Kellan for the second time?
Adrian has always been an impeccable writer, but as I started reading this book, I was reminded of just how amazing and talented she is. She paints a vivid picture for every scene, delves deeper into each character until readers know everything about them, and writes some of the best action sequences I've encountered in a long time. All this and more is in EDGE OF DAWN. Make no mistake, Lara Adrian is one of the premier authors of paranormal romance and with this book, she proves it!
Kellan and Mira's relationship is complicated. Kellan has always loved Mira, but doesn't see himself worthy to be loved. His actions and decisions in life have tainted him and he doesn't wish for Mira to suffer the consequences of his actions just so she can be with him. The progression of their relationship is a rocky one, filled with delicious angst and selfless love. I'll bet readers will gobble this one up!
Another great thing about this book is the fact that Adrian has introduced so many new characters, some being the kids of past couples in the series. If this doesn't make a Midnight Breed fan scream and shout in excitement, then I don't know what else will! Nathan, a new sexy Breed member who plays an important part of in this story has his own set up very well in this book. I cannot wait to see where Adrian takes his story!
EDGE OF DAWN is a game changer -- a book that will revolutionize the way readers see the Midnight Breed world and stir up some excitement! Filled with angst, tortured hearts, above all, selfless love, EDGE OF DAWN will break your hearts and mend them back up again.
In this pulse-pounding and thrillingly sensual novel, New
York Times bestselling author Lara Adrian returns to the
mesmerizing world of the Midnight Breed, following new
characters into a dark future where an uneasy peace can
unravel into warโand a great betrayal can mask an
all-consuming love.
Twenty years after the terror of First Dawnโwhen mankind
learned that vampires lived secretly among themโthe threat
of violence reigns as the two species struggle to coexist.
The only group preserving the fragile harmony is the Order,
an elite cadre of Breed warriors dedicated to protecting
humans and vampires alike. And in this precarious world of
torn loyalties and shattered trust, Mira, a fiery squad
captain, finds that every fight bears an intensely personal
cost.
Raised among the Order, Mira has always believed in the
warriorโs code of swiftโand even lethalโjustice. But the one
thing she desires more than the Orderโs hard-won acceptance
is Kellan Archer, a sexy but troubled Breed fighter. In love
with him since childhood, Mira once broke through his tough
exterior during an unexpected night of rapture, but the next
day he mysteriously disappeared, never to return.
Kellan didnโt think he would ever see Mira againโor have to
confront the truth of why he left. After abandoning the
Order years ago, he now leads a band of human rebels intent
on carrying out their own vigilante rule of law. Yet a
high-profile kidnapping assignment brings him face-to-face
with the past he sought to avoid, and the striking woman he
has tried desperately to forget. And as tensions mount and
the risk of bloodshed grows, Kellan and Mira must take
sidesโbetween the competing missions that dominate their
lives, and the electrifying passion that claims their hearts.
