Going into this book, I wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't really know much about Kade and where he came from, and why he came to the Order. He and Brock just showed up one day as new recruits. I worried that it would be simply a way to create more books, but I found myself really liking him and this story.
Kade grew up in an Alaskan Darkhaven. So when the word came around that there were some suspicious killings going on in the northern wilderness, he was the obvious choice to head up the mission. He headed back to his home state in the hopes of finding and subduing whatever was causing the brutal killings.
Alex is a bush pilot from Alaska. Actually, she's originally from Florida, but moved to Harmony, Alaska when she was nine with her father after the brutal killings of her mother and younger brother. I really liked her, I thought she was a strong character and I didn't find her annoying at all. She is the first one to spot the first massive murder in the small town and is therefore a threat to the Breed. So Kade must question her about what she knows and wipe her memory of what she thinks she's seen. Until he finds out she's not a mere human, but a Breedmate.
I really liked Kade and Alex's story. I thought both of their back stories and the building of their characters was done fairly well. Sometimes I think the Midnight Breed books lack this building of character and understanding how the person's past made them who they are today. But, in this story, I felt like both Kade and Alex was built up really well and I enjoyed reading about them.
The story of the escaped Ancient and Dragos was also continued in this book and I found myself really intrigued by it. I really like this underlying story, but I also feel like it's coming to an end as well. I think that another threat other than Dragos will have to come soon in order to keep things interesting. But this story was full of mystery, action, and of course, hot love making!
Overall, I loved the story. It was one of my favorites of the series so far and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this action packed page turner.

this was a pretty intense book. the feelings and power between kade, and alex. it was a great love story between them. but more intense is the back story, the one that ties all these books together. is the ancient really dead or just stuck in the snow... and what is going on with jenna. I also really liked luna as well. and chase is he brcoming sadistic or what? welp more books in this series to read highly anticipating taken by midnight feel its gonna be pretty epuc amongst the rest of the books in the series but we shall see

I'm giving it a three because of everything except the main characters. Again, I am very disappointed in the 5 minutes and everyone is in love. Lara Adrian writes well. She proved that with the beginning of the series, but I'm wondering if she's being pushed too hard to get these done quickly. Lara - please take time with your characters. I personally would gladly wait for the next books. Anxiously course! But as it is, I've stopped after the Brock one and I don't know if I would ever pick up this series again.

I think this was probably my favorite in the series to this point. My only question is I think Kade and Alex make a good couple. Of course, I really like strong independent women, and Alex really does fit the bill being a very competent pilot who brings supplies to those in need in the remote potions of Alaska. Kade is also a very strong person who has dealt with a lot during his lifetime. Anyway, there was a happy ending, which I was hoping for. Good story.

Did the ancient really die? It seemed a bit too easy.heabooknerd's review against another edition

I enjoyed reading SHADES OF MIDNIGHT because I'm loving this series so much and every book brings us deeper into the battle between the Order and Dragos. This time the story takes us to Alaska where the Ancient has escaped and is wreaking havoc on the innocent town of Harmony. I was a bit surprised with how things progressed but it'll make things really interesting for the next book.
I liked both Kade and Alex but I have to admit I never fully connected with them like I have past couples. Kade keeps everything close to the chest and I never felt like we really saw what was underneath until close to the end. That being said, I did love the way he interacts with Alex and how he's so sweet with her once he starts to catch feelings.
Content Warning: Brief reference to side character considering suicide after losing her family

This was not one of my favorite Breed book, but I did like that it deviated from Adrian's usual formula in a couple of ways. First, it takes place in Alaska, not Boston like 90% of her previous books. Second, the breedmate has some past experience with the Breed society (albeit a negative experience), so she is more accepting of the news that Vampires exist. Lastly, there were some interesting developments with the Ancient that were surprising to me.
Overall, this was another enjoyable read and I look forward to the next one in the series.
