Bound to Darkness by Lara AdrianMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Lara Adrian has created an appealing formula for her paranormal/urban romance in her Midnight Breed Series. Take sexy alpha-male Breed Warrior, a beautiful and strong female, thrown in an intriguing history of vampire and other supernatural aliens living in secret in the human realm, add some heart-stopping battles between good and evil and of course some amazingly steamy sex scenes…..how could one not be fascinated by the world and characters she has created!!!!
The Midnight Breeds Series ended in the climatic Darker After Midnight, the 10th book in the series and I was so excited when I heard that the series would continue but with new characters and twenty years after this book. It would focus on the Breeds children and the continued battle against the evil forces that surround the Breeds.
Bound by Darkness is the 3rd book in the new Breed world and the 13th in the Midnight Breed Series.
I wondered how the author would integrate characters from the previous books in the series as parents of the new generation. I should have expected that she would never disappoint her fans.
Carys Chase, rare day-walker Breed female, daughter of powerful Breed warrior, Sterling Chase and his Breedmate, Tavia, is beautiful, passionate, and headstrong and her heart rules her life. I was kind of iffy about Carys in the beginning…but wow…when she came into using her powers…it was like watching the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!!!!! This was my kind of woman!!!!! I fell in love with her forever!!!!
Living the life she wants with her own rules…what else could we expect from her…the totally unexpected. Fall in love with most people feel is the wrong person…hell, the guy is a huge and dangerous cage fighter Breed Warrior!!!!
Rune….okay, so I wasn’t that dazzled by this guy at first!!! A brutal cage fighter…so not my kind of my hero…but then Carys saw something else behind that façade…so why not me!!!
This is such a broken, lonely and tortured Breed warrior, with some very dark secrets….no wonder Carys’s family has a problem with accepting someone like him being with their adored and beloved daughter!!! But Rune knows that Carys has brought something special into his life….
I did admire Carys’s belief and love for Rune and the deep love he had for her despite feeling not worthy of her…..
Whilst this book is described as being Carys & Rune’s story, their romance actually takes second place to what is happening in the Breeds world. New enemies, old enemies, new threats, secrets revealed….totally awesome.
I loved the inclusion of characters from the previous books that I have become very attached to, and absolutely amazing seeing them in a new role…as parents of the new Breed age!!! Catching up with their lives was a real treat. And discovering Rune’s secret of his past, just blew me away……it was a very emotional part in the story.
A really great addition to this series.
Lara Adrian continues to draw me deeper and deeper into the mesmerizing and exciting world that she has created.
I am so looking forward to the next book.
