Ashes of Midnight by Lara Adrian
4.0
Andreas' story. I've been waiting for it and was only slightly frustrated while reading.
And not with the characters or the action or the steamy love scenes, but with the constant battle Andreas had to get through to finally realize that a) Claire wasn't going anywhere and b) he could control his power without hurting her. I know he had to go through it all, I know he had to lose everything to see what he was gaining, but my heart kept breaking for them over and over again. Plus, I love a tortured, selfless hero as much as the next girl, but I prefer resolution that occurs before the last minute so I can enjoy the relationship a little bit longer than the epilogue.
I do like Andreas and Claire together, though, and I love how she is yet another strong woman in this series. And that scene in the chocolate/candy shop? Priceless. :)
I also really enjoyed seeing the rest of the Order and "catching up" with them a bit.
I enjoyed this sixth installment of the series and look forward to Shades of Midnight.
