In the dark of night, a blood war escalates within the hidden world of the Breed. After maintaining a fragile peace with the humans who walk beside them unaware, a single act of retaliation has put the vampire nation at risk of discovery. It falls to the Order—a cadre of Breed warriors pledged to protect their own and humankind alike—to stop Dragos, the power-mad vampire, before his push for domination explodes into catastrophe.

At the center of the Order’s quest is Sterling Chase, whose biggest battle is the one he wages against his own savage nature. But when his eyes meet those of Tavia Fairchild, Chase finds himself drawn to the woman—and convinced she is something much more than she seems. And while everything logical warns Tavia against getting close to Chase, she cannot deny that he stirs something ravenous within her. As the Order’s enemy mobilizes for the battle of the ages, Chase and Tavia are thrust into the heart of the violence. With time running out, they must find a way to defeat Dragos once and for all—or die trying.

 
 
 
Once again, the Order find themselves battling the deranged Dragos aka Drake Masters, the alias he goes by in this action-packed story. In the next chapter of the Midnight Breed series, you won’t be disappointed or bored one solitary moment. Lara will keep you on your toes with new revelations, unexpected surprises, multiple battles, and love scenes. 
 
I won’t divulge whether or not this is the last we’ve seen of Dragos because I don’t want to spoil it for others who haven’t read it yet. I will say she balances the good and evil parts very nicely. In other words, despite all the brutal mayhem unleashed on the humans, there are many sweet moments to be found. 
 
I can’t wait for “Edge of Dawn” to come out in spring of 2013.

Review of “Shadow’s Claim” – Kresley Cole

HE WON’T BE DENIED

Trehan Daciano, known as the Prince of Shadows, has spent his life serving his people—striking in the night, quietly executing any threat to their realm. The coldly disciplined swordsman has never desired anything for himself—until he beholds Bettina, the sheltered ward of two of the Lore’s most fearsome villains.

SHE’S BOUND TO ANOTHER

Desperate to earn her guardians’ approval after a life-shattering mistake, young Bettina has no choice but to marry whichever suitor prevails—even though she’s lost her heart to another. Yet one lethal competitor, a mysterious cloaked swordsman, invades her dreams, tempting her with forbidden pleasure.

A BATTLE FOR HER BODY AND SOUL

Even if Trehan can survive the punishing contests to claim her as his wife, the true battle for Bettina’s heart is yet to come. And unleashing a millennium’s worth of savage need will either frighten his Bride away—or stoke Bettina’s own desires to a fever pitch. . . .

 
 

If you love the IAD (Immortals After Dark), then you are going to adore the first in a series about “The Dacians”. In Shadow’s Claim, we are introduced to the very interesting clan. Trehan Daciano, last born to the House of Shadows and the first to get his own story, is sexy – extremely lethal – devoted – sweet – and his grand apartment was once the royal library. Freaking cool place to call home! 

Bettina, the heroine, is a sorceress who has lost her magical power due to….. (not saying – no spoilers).  However, Bett is not without power. She has the ability to create the most intriguing weapons and jewelry. 

I don’t want to give too much away about the story BUT I will say the story revolves around a tournament for her hand in marriage. However, it’s not a cut and dry case of Trehan going in and whooping some ass. That wouldn’t be as gripping as the story she presented to us. Let me tell you, it’s a page turner! 

This story, as with all her others, was superbly written. No detail was left out. She once again dazzled us with her imagination in regards to locations, characters, and plots.
