I wasn't planning on liking this series. Hell, I had gotten the first book in the series off of paperbackswap.com and I found that I really didn't care for it, so back up on the swap it went.

Then, one of my favorite authors was holding a contest on her LJ to win an extra copy of the second book in the series, that she picked up by mistake. I entered. I figured that if I still hated it, then I could always trade the book away to a good home, and besides, I like the author who was running the contest, so she should have good taste, right?

Book gets here, I leave it mouldering for about a week, then last night I pick it up to read before I go to bed. It's just okay, I keep drawing comparisons to the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward, and finding this series lacking, but it's good enough that I read until I can't keep my eyes open anymore.

Then, I wake up an hour early to get some reading in before I go to work. I then take another half an hour from my morning prep to finish the damn book. I put the rest of the series up on my wishlist on paperback swap and get cranky because there are 50+ people in front of me for each book.

All day at work, I'm thinking about how I don't have anything new to read for when I'm dragged up to Maine for a family wedding, and how buying a few books would be a good idea.

Then, to cinch the deal, Amazon.com was running a 4-3 offer. *sigh*

Oh, hell. Lara Adrian's books managed to suck me in. DAMN YOU FOR WRITING FAIRLY DECENT ANGST.

This is the second in the series. Because of that, it is able to take off right from the beginning without having to set-up the premise or do a lot of background explaining.
I have enjoyed both books in the series so far, this is definately a series I am already addicted to.
Can't wait for the third book to come out this December.

GREAT BOOK!! I really liked this one better than the last. This is Dante's story, and it was great. If you liked JR Wards Black Dagger Brotherhood, you will definately like this series. I can't wait until the next one in the series comes out...Tegans!!

I was let down with this book. It was almost the end of the book before Tess finds out that Dante is a Breed, and then the ending just fell flat. You know how the story is going to end, or at least where the final big scene will take place, because of Dante's premonition of death all through the book. I didnt really find the characters to be that deep either. Not much back story told on Tess or Dante which had great possibility, as well as with Tess's secret talent, but it just never happened.

This is the second book of the series. It's slower than than "Kiss of Midnight" but I think I enjoyed it more. I liked the characters here more, especially the secondary characters of Chase, Teagan, and Elise. I'm actually excited to read more about them. I think it would have been better if they focused a little more on the missing people. I also think it flows a little better than the first one but there are times where there were just too much mundane details that didn't add to the story or characters. I find myself skim-reading quite a bit.

I'll still keep reading the series. I am intrigued by the world Adrian created but I'm not exactly dazzled by the books. It's okay and worth the read if there is nothing else better.
