Taken by Midnight by Lara Adrian
4.0
TAKEN BY MIDNIGHT takes things in a different direction because Jenna is not a Breedmate but she's also no longer completely human after her attack. I felt so much for Jenna and her life experiences. She's had the worst happen to her when she lost her husband and child and she's struggled to move on from that loss. When she gets brought under the protection of the Order she finds a new purpose in life and begins to connect with other people again. But both Jenna and Brock are reluctant to risk their hearts so things are bumpy as they find themselves in close quarters with each other. I really liked Jenna and Brock and enjoyed them together, but I do feel like Brock felt a bit flat as a character. He's so calm and collected that he's almost forgettable compared to the other Breed warriors we've met.
One of my favorite parts in TAKEN BY MIDNIGHT was seeing how the women of the Order have begun helping out and taking on their own mission. They don't just sit idly by and look pretty; they're investigating the missing Breedmates, tracking down leads, and even fighting when necessary. They've also brought a lightness and a heart to the Order and given the Warriors something to truly fight for.
Content Warning: references to death of a spouse and child, depression, survivor's guilt, suicidal thoughts; non-consensual blood drinking (not the hero)
