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 Adrian's latest and it may j...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.

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...

Lara Adrian vampirleri sevmemi sağlayan ilk yazar. Vampileri pek de sevmediğim düşünülürse büyük başarı. Her kitabıyla -ki çok ağır çıksa da 5'e gelebildik- kendine hayran bırakan nadide biri. Bir kitabında da çıtayı düşürsün. Yok arkadaş hep mükemmel.
Birliğin üyelerinden Nikolai'nin görevi Sergei Yakut'u bulmak ve onunla İlk Nesil vampirlere düzenlenen saldırılar hakkında konuşmak. Ne yazık ki ava giderken avlanan Niko, amacına ulaşsa da sonuçları onun için hiç iyi olmuyor.

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.

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 next book!

Woohoo!! The 'Midnight Breed' Train continues!
This time it’s Nikolai’s turn to be the hero. Niko is a fierce warrior, driven and determined, he loves his weapons and he loves to fight. The story starts with him in Montreal where Niko is searching for the reclusive Gen One Sergei Yakut. When he finds him, however, he also finds his badass bodyguard, Renata. Renata is different from the other heroines in the series who have no idea of the Breed world. Renata is aware of the world and her place in...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.

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...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.

~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.

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 little vampires aft...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 wai...more
This Breed book was one of my favorites. I still compare these to the Brotherhood series and find them lacking a bit but there were some intriguing characters in Veil of Midnight. Renata a human breedmate has an incredible power of being able to decimate an enemy with pain - even vamps. She has been forced to use it my a Generation one Vamp. Renata has never had a good life living in orphanages and then being indentured as a weapon. Renata was used and just survives day by day. She cares about o...more

E' strano come una lettura possa essere - in parte - influenzata quando si sa che da lì a due giorni incontrerai l'autrice. Tendi ad avere un atteggiamento bendisposto nei confronti del prodotto finito: trama, personaggi, stile, scelte narrative. Tutto ha una luce differente perché quasi non si vuole pensare male, o rimanere delusi, e trovarsi di fronte l'autrice di quel romanzo. Però, ad essere sincera, il fatto che sarei andata a vedere la Adrian a Milano mi ha soltanto resa più entusiasta di...more
Veil of Midnight is the fifth book in the Midnight Breed Series, and as a Vampiers series, I have to say this is the longest and best series I have read. Typically with a Vampire series, I get bored with it after a few books because it is always the same and yet this series has kept me guessing, it has followed different characters each time, but brought back familair loved characters too and kept me wanting to read more.

I found myself wanting to begin with boredom when I found out that this story would revolve around Niko - he hardly seemed interesting in book four. Yeah, SO wrong I was! As always Lara Adrain has an awesome backstory to all of her characters, and Niko didn't disappoint. Then I wanted to hate Renata for being stupid enough to be where she was and for staying so long. Again, SO wrong... She is such a strong heroic female who showed herself to be just as much of a warrior as Niko. Of course, the u...more
Barely a three star read and only because of the evolving background story. The first half of the book was a fairly decent urban fantasy story, lacking virtually any interaction between the two romantic leads. There was one brief scene early between Nikolai and Reneta in which he pinned her to the ground and kissed her which to me read more like assault but of course that turned on Reneta because there is noting hotter then some strange warrior feeling you up. The story started going downhill wh...more
Excellent but needed tweeking. The Midnight Breed series definitely delivers a gritty, edge of your seat, adrenaline soaked, steamy sex series. I enjoyed Veil of Midnight but really got frustrated with the too many typo errors. There were occassions where I found myself rereading a sentence because of how it was worded or misspelled (the not die) and at first read, it didn't make sense. I also wished Lara researched Montreal much better. Truly, I felt the reader came out with the picture that Mo...more
Quinto episodio per la Stirpe di Mezzanotte. Protagonista è Nikolai, il vampiro siberiano dagli occhi azzurro ghiaccio, che, mentre è impegnato in una nuova missione per l’Ordine si incontra/scontra e, naturalmente, si innamora per l’eternità della guerriera umana Renata. Solo che stavolta il supervampiro super-addestrato si caccia continuamente nei guai, e si fa prendere prigioniero prima da alcuni vampiri (ops! Renata gli tende un’imboscata), poi nuovamente dagli stessi vampiri (ops! Renata, c...more

Nikolai is a Breed warrior and a member of the Order. A group of breeds who fight the Rogues and try to keep the humans safe from them. His current mission places him in Montreal looking for a Gen One Breed. Renata is also a warrior but of a different sort. She is the bodyguard for the vampire that Nikolai is looking for. When Niko shows up in Montreal looking for the Gen One Renata doesn't trust him so she sets a trap to catch him.

TRAMA: Guerriera invincibile, Renata non ha rivali nemmeno fra gli avversari del setto opposto, vampiri o umani che siano. La sua arma più micidiale è una straordinaria forza psichica, un dono rarissimo e altrettanto mortale. Ma ora un misterioso estraneo minaccia l’indipendenza che ha conquistato con tanta fatica. Si tratta di Nikolai, un vampiro bello oltre ogni immaginazione che la trascina nel regno della notte e della passione più incontrollabile. I due uniscono le loro forze e si ritrovano...more
Lara Adrian continues to enthral with this wonderful series. The Breed books are fast paced, action packed and erotic. The story of The Order and it’s Warriors continues. There are still blood-thirsty Rogues chasing mankind but the continued threat from something far more evil has The Warriors worried. The Ancient One, the last surviving member of the blood thirsty alien race that bred them, is somewhere being used to promote an evil plan to overthrow the current balance between The Breed and ma...more

This one jumped right into the action with Nikolai on a mission for the Breed Warriors. He is their weapons expert and the warrior who was least likely to feel the need for a mate and all that having one involved. He carries guilt from his past that he can only suppress by the fight the Warriors are involved in for good.

As a child, Lara Adrian used to sleep with the covers up around her neck, afraid she might become the midnight prey of deadly vampires. Later on, under the influence of Bram Stoker and Anne Rice, she had to wonder if her fear wasn't actually something else: a secret desire to walk in a darker world, to live a dangerous and sensual dream with a man of seductive, preternatural power. It is that twin...more
