OMG! If you haven't been reading Lara Adrian's 'Midnight Breed' series, then you really don't know what you're missing! I was lucky enough to pick up the first book, "Kiss of Midnight", and I was hooked. Adrian's breeds are vampires, but their origins, history, and powers are a bit different from the rest of the vamp stories floating around the market today. These guys are hot, hot, hot; and they're fighting to save their kind as well as humans. "Veil of Midnight" is Adr More...

^^ YOU DON'T NEED A VEIL FOR THIS ONE^^

By far this book is the best when it comes to action and the introduction of new and twisted characters. Though this book doesn’t offer up the sensuality and sexiness of the previous books, it delivers with heart pounding menace and destructive action. Adrian brings terror knocking at the Breed’s door and shit just got personal.

Nikolai aka Niko lives for a fight. He is an adrenaline junkie who lives for the next kill, his weapons are h More...

This is a mighty fine series and book #5 did not disappoint This Reader. The majority of the book takes place in Montreal, Canada and picks up where #4 left off--finding Drago and the ancient. A lot of things spun into play in Veil of Midnight kicking up the momentum for some kind of grand finale. Curious to see how the author is going to play it out and how many more books will come out of this series...

A few of the earlier characters popped in toward the ending: Tegan, Rio, And More...

I really liked this storyline. Although Tegan is still my favorite Breed warrior, I liked Niko. Renata was a powerful, admirable heroine. I liked that that she was a true survivor. I thought it was awesome that she rescued Niko from the interment facility. Mira, the young girl with the power of showing people who look into her eyes the future, was an interesting story idea.

The Midnight Breed series is pretty dark and violent. The concept of the alien Otherworlders coming to eart More...

Our "go out in a blaze of glory", live in the moment, thrives on danger, Warrior Niko finds love, in Renata who is a fearless Warrior herself. This is PNR as it should be in my opinion. It had action, romance, a dark story, and great characters! Each book seems to get better.
I loved this book! Actually one of my favorites so far. I like the addition of Hunter, and I really liked Niko and Renata. Wow, there's a couple of new threads added in now, and I'm looking forward to the nex

Veil of Midnight by Lara Adrian
Paranormal Vampire Romance Mass Market Paperback- December 30th, 2008
4 ½ stars

Veil of Midnight is the 5th in Lara Adrian’s Midnight Breed Series and another hit in her continuing vampire series. Unlike many authors whose continued series have run out of steam and seem flat, Lara Adrian's books build upon each other, enthralling her readers. Mesmerizing characters and fascinating plot lines are introduced, which are sure to keep readers wanti More...

The romance was pretty rushed at the end of the book, it was another case of "insta-love". The action was good and I am excited to see what happens with the original Breed and how Dragos gets brought down.

I love this series. It just gets better and better.
Lara Adrian has a fantastic talent. The way she makes an event turn at an unexpected direction is just fabulous. It always surprises the readers and keeps them interested.
Another great advantage in her writing is that this world is just as real as the one I live in. I love that. I'm always drawn to this world, to the details and politics of it.
When reading a book of Midnight Breed , I'm always thinking how much I'd like to li More...

This is book 5 in the Midnight Breed series and I'd really recommend reading the books in order so you can keep up with the continuing background plot. Although there has always been an ongoing war that continues throughout the whole series, the previous books have all concentrated mainly on one warrior & his Breedmate. I did feel that this book tended to focus more on the action than the romance so you don't really get to know Niko & Renata as well as you've come to know the other main charac More...

In Adrian's 5th installment of her Midnight Breed series- we get the warrior Nickolai's story. To be honest, his story was one I was fairly indifferent about, but ended up being a fav.

Nikolai is in Montreal on a particular mission. Sent by the leader of an elite group of warriors known as the Warrior Breeds - a band of fighters initially brought together to destroy the malicious alien/vampire progenitors who were wreaking havoc on the human population- Nikolai must track down a 1st g More...

~GOOD BUT HAS IT'S FAULTS~
VEIL OF MIDNIGHT is an intricate, action packed and well written story. Containing several ongoing sub-plots and many different POV's. Although not as romance filled as the past 4 books in the Midnight Breed series. I feel that this instalment could easily be read as a stand alone as it steps away from the previous story arc and main `breed' characters. Lara Adrian has however filled in any relative back story and given the rules to her Vampire world, so you won't More...

At one point in time, Lara's series reminded me so much of JR Ward's that I had a hard time from book to book, no matter how hot the men were or how good the action was or the world was that I was being led into. And now, with this book and the one before it, the world's opened up even more and I find myself enjoying them. I'm captivated and amused, drooling and envious that these women, these Breedmates, are getting to experience these vampires in all their Alpha glory. Lara has definitely made More...

This is the 5th book in the Midnight Breed series and one of the best. The story stays on track and moves quickly. I devoured it in a day and enjoyed every page. Nico is now one of my favorites from the Order and Renata is strong - she really kicks butt - but she also is a very compassionate person. Nico and Renata's story is believable and passionate. They are the "meant for each other" couple without being trite and predictable. I recommend this series to anyone who loves a lit More...

Number five of the Midnight Breed series didn’t disappoint! This is Niko’s story. It continues with him traveling to Montreal to try to find the Gen One, Sergei, and warn him about the recent assassinations of Gen One’s across the world. However what he finds that Sergei is not what he appears to be, and he’s also holding a two Breedmates as prisoners/slaves in his compound. I am anxious to see what happens with the Ancient and with Reichen’s life. What happened to him was awful, and I can’t More...

I'm enjoying this series so I have to keep reading. I'm glad I started reading this series because I'm really enjoying Adrian's take on the vampire world. I was swapping all these but suddenly decided I wanted them so now I'm keeping these books.

I think Veil of Midnight wasn't as big as a let down as some might thing (friend didn't like it). It was a little more of a basic and simple story but still very intriguing and entertaining.

Nikolai isn't majorly wounded inside or out. More...

Summary: Nikolai and the Order of Breed Warriors are facing far worse than the rogue vampires they’ve fought in pervious installments of this series. Since their discovery of Dragos in Midnight Rising, reports of murdered Gen One vampires are coming in from around the world.

Although warnings have been issued to the surviving Gen Ones, one of the leaders has been difficult to track down. Nikolai travels to a secluded area of Montreal to search for Yakut, both to warn him and gain h More...

Book V of the Midnight series, the story develops in Montreal and Boston and it tells the story of Nikolai a powerful vampire member of the Order (a small cadre of highly trained, highly lethal warriors) who can control the power of nature (growing vegetation) and Renata "Rennee" a very strong Breedmate with the sweet sandalwood-and-rain smell with a powerful mind power control.

Veil of Midnight is the fifth book in the Midnight Breed series. This book focuses on Niko, another tough as nails, don't give a damn vampire, whose only focus is to keep the Breed, and humans alike, safe from the scourge of Rogues.

Lucan has sent Niko to Montreal to find an elusive Gen One vampire and warn him that his life is in danger. He gets more than he bargained for when he is tricked by a beautiful woman named Renata and is immobilized by her psychic force. Upon awakening, he More...

So far this one is my favorite of the series. It was dark and often grissly, but so good. Nikolai, the often reckless adrenaline junkie of all the warriors, gets sent on a solo mission to meet with the Gen One vampire Sergei Yakut. He finds the recluse who rules his contingent with a cruel and iron fist. Among them is Renata, a Breedmate. She's a fierce fighter and very adept with various weapons and a powerful ability. I warmed to Renata immediately.

I am really surprised to see the rave reviews on this book. In my opinion, the series is going down hill fast. I guess this can happen with a formulaic series. The same can be said about Ward's BDB series. Once the pace has been set they begin to run out of steam. For example, the author starts to have other character's POV take up more space. I think this is because the mystery is gone. The audience already knows how things are going to turn out.

Frickin loved Renata. This badass breedmate became the focus of this novel for me. She has done what she needed to to survive. She also has the ability to drop the Breed males like bitches with a pulse from her mind. No matter how you look at this series, it is ALWAYS a strong male protecting a weak female. Because there are no Breed Females...just Breedmates. Well thank you Lara for finally giving the girls their due.

Veil of Midnight features Niko, the Russian member of the Order. Niko's current mission for the Order is to warn (and protect) an ancient first generation vampire who he believes has been targeted for assassination. This takes him to Montreal, where he meets the cold and prickly Renata - who he soon finds himself thinking about all too much, which is bad for both Niko and his mission since she seems to be blood-bonded to the Gen One vampire Niko needs to protect. Renata completely surprises the More...

I think that this book strayed closer to the Urban Fantasy mark than Romance. I would be fine with that if that had been what I was expecting. However, I bought this in the Romance section and was expecting those qualities. The relationship between Niko and Renata felt rushed and flat.

I liked Renata's character. I thought she could be dense at times, but her overall strength and lack of "woe is me" was very refreshing. Even though her physical strength and weapon skills didn' More...

I think I liked this one as much as Midnight Awakening. I did get annoyed at Renata at a critical moment, but overall I thought the book was very effective. I even got choked up at the end. And, as annoyed as I was with her, I could easily see where she was coming from. It's not like I would have reacted much differently if I'd had her abilities. And she didn't end up screwing up the mission at all, so she was quickly forgiven by me.

BTW -- I still think Rio's book should have bee More...

The last book in this series saw a definite improvement in quality, intensity and intrigue. This book, installment number five, surpassed the last in spades.

It even had me reading well passed midnight and unable to book the book down or stop thinking about it.

This is the fifth instalment of the Midnight Breed series and one of the few vampire series that actually gets better with each instalment.

The premise behind the series is that vampires are descended from eight otherworldly warriors stranded on earth thousands of years ago and through mating with a small number of compatable human females the Midnight Breed species has evolved. The different mythology works really well in the series and Lara Adrian has evolved this to a really intere More...

Like many others I decided to read the Midnight Breed series while waiting for the next book in JR Ward's BDB series to be released. Since I'd recently discovered the love of paranormal romances, I'd read all the books out at that point in both series back to back. While I'm a die hard BDB fan and agree that JR Ward's books are much better than Lara Adrian's -- she does hold her own, especially with Veil of Midnight (VM). VM is the best book in the series to date, mainly because of Renata. She w More...
