Helpful Score: 5
Excellent read. I liked this Midnight Breed story much better than the previous one [Andreas]. My complaint about that one was personal, I don't care for plots where the h/h's motivation is [massive] death of friends/family.
This is Kade's book, the Order has very little presence until almost the end of the book. [I did miss their camaraderie and the appearance of other Order members and mates.] He's a relative newcomer to the Order sent to Alaska [where he is originally from] to deal with an apparent problem. It turns out to be a very real problem, and one that grows even larger as Kade finds out more and more about the attacks and the area around the tiny Alaskan town of Harmony where the vampire attacks have occurred. He is a strong and charismatic hero and the author does a great job exposing his character and the torments of his situation to the reader. The heroine is Alex, a bush pilot who lives in the area. She is another competent and take charge heroine worthy of the hero complete with her own back story.
As an author, I've always thought Adrian does a particularly good job of the writing directive 'show, don't tell'. She makes us feel the cold and shudder with the icy winds. [I'll have to reread this book during our 100*+ summer.] Her plots are page turners and her characters are well-developed, people you'd want to know.
The story arc of the Alaskan vampire attacks, Kade's family background and the mating of Kade and Alex are all resolved. BUT she has introduced some very VERY intriguing threads for the next novel. I suspect readers will be lining up for the next installment [mine went on pre-order at Amazon as soon as I finished this one!] since we're all dying to know which way she's going to take this...
