^^ 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 his friends. He is the type to do things his way but he’s about to get a lesson in discipline and an education in love. Niko is on a mission to warn a certain vampire of an upcoming assassination and that job is proving difficult, some questions in a bar leads him to his answer and to the sexiest female he has ever seen. What Niko finds is worst than he expected, and he realizes the vampire he was trying to save is better off dead.

Renata is a bodyguard to the most evil Gen One( old as hell vampire) out there. She longs for the day she can leave but she knows that future is very bleak, until Niko walks into her life. With one kiss he changes her outlook on life and she starts thinking that he might be able to save her. Renata is a tough as nails chick but what vampires fear is her extraordinary psychic abilities, in just a blink of an eye she can bring the most trained and deadly vampire to their knees. All her life Ren has known only darkness but one golden hair vamp is about to bring the light.

What happens next is a series of twist and turns and some of the worst betrayals yet. It was one shocking twist after the next, and the new characters that get introduced will have your head spinning in hopes of a book of their own. It was refreshing to see the world of this deadly breed of warriors get shaken, and death came a knocking, plus to see Niko struggle with bloodlust just proved how imperfect they are and also how very human.

I just loved this one, the love story was blah at best but I think Miss Adrian wanted to introduce a more intricate and plot induced story line because this one makes you wanna dive right into the next book. Renata as a female is kick butt she can take down vamps just like the breed warriors and I loved it. Niko was just Niko, what can I say he’s a bit of a smartass and he is cocky what’s not to love. Veil of Midnight was a smash, pow and boom. It rocked. The Midnight Breed warriors is pure action movie to the face.

I have to admit for some reason I wasn't expecting too much out of Nicko's book, but I was very happy with the end result. The overall plot didn't really move forward too much (we are more focused on the couple in this story). I really liked the female lead, Renata, probably one of my top picks out of all the Breedmates in the series so far. Her and Nicko's initial introduction to eachother was great (he was definitely blown away by her). I really liked how she is able to hold her own in combat ...more

This book was the best of the series so far in my estimation. I liked that the plot dealth with a personal part of the battle and not so much with the war agains evil as a whole.

Nikolai seems kind of immature to me, and his falling in love with Renata does not seem very deep or complicated next to some of the other heros of his Order, but I liked the story nonetheless.

When he goofs up and does not share what he should, it harms her trust in him. I was kind of sad that she just took him back with ...more

Veil of is the perfect 3 star book for me. I liked it. I didn't love it and I didn't hate it.

This was Niko's book and I wish I could tell you that I knew him lots better after reading his book, but alas...I can not. This book has a ton more action and plot movement in it than previous books. Niko spends very little time with the Order as he is on a mission throughout this book. I wish we had been given a better look into Niko's life. What makes him tick? What did he love about Renata (other than ...more

This is Nikolai's 'Niko' book, he goes to Montreal to seek out a Gen One Sergei Yakut and it's there he meets Sergei's bodyguard Renata a breedmate who has the ability to render vampires unconsciouss with her psychic ability but suffers severe after-effects.
Renata cares for a young eight year old breedmate Mira who's eyes reflect the future both of them are pretty much Sergei's prisoners and threatens to kill either one if they attempt to leave him.
There's an attraction straight away between Nik ...more

3.5 Stars. Don't know why I didn't like this as much as the first 4 books. It seemed to be missing something. & I don't feel the connection between Niko and Renata for some reasons. :-(
