Edge of Dawn by Lara AdrianMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
At the end of the previous book Darker After Midnight, where vampires were outed in the worst possible manner by Dragos, I wondered where the author would take this series further.
A total new direction in one of my favorite PNR series….fast forward twenty years later, with a whole new set of characters as the new leaders of the Midnight Breed, include old favorites in the storyline…..and what did I think???
Meet the new generation of Breed warriors!!! The Breed Order’s children, most of which we have become familiar with in the previous books, are all grown up and ready to join in the fight to work together with humans in bringing peace to the chaos and violence that has reigned since the First Dawn, when humans discovered that they were not the only species on planet Earth.
The storyline involves a human scientist who has developed a technology that is able to destroy vampires. Mira has been selected by Lucan to be the scientist bodyguard and when human rebels abduct him, they take her with them.
Mira, Breed Nikolai and his Breedmate, Renata’s adopted Breedmate daughter, who we first met in the 5th book Veil of Midnight https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... is now grown up!!!
Now captain of one of the Breed teams dedicated to protecting humans and vampires and keep the cities safe, is strong, kick-ass and dealing with some major issues in her life, in particularly coping with the death of Kellan, the Breed she loved eight years before, which are impacting negatively on her ability to work with her team.
During her captivity she recognizes the rebel leader, someone from her past and who had died before her very own eyes years before.
Kellan, troubled and lonely youth, taken in by the Breeds, when his family had been massacred by vampires had become very close to Mira throughout their lives. He was a fierce warrior, mourned and believed dead.
I loved seeing Kellan and Mira together again. Even though I thought the reasons for his disappearance were a bit weak….really…but he believed he did it for a good reason….
What I really liked was how Mira handled Kellan…
How she never gave up on him or stopped loving him.
I loved the passion and chemistry these two had together.
There are some pretty heart-wrenching moments towards the end but giving up loving each other was never possible.
My favorite quote in this book…
The set-up for the new series was totally amazing, with a “wicked” cliffhanger at the end that leaves you wondering…what next!!!!
Whatever happens in the future for the Breeds….it’s going to be epic!!!
