Deeper Than Midnight by Lara Adrian
3.0
DEEPER THAN MIDNIGHT wasn't one of my favorites for the series in terms of the relationship side of the story, but it did progress a lot of the overarching story line and I enjoyed that part. Things are getting more and more serious in the battle against Dragos and this one really went out on a bang that I can't wait to see the results of in the next book. There's also a lot of development in Chase's storyline as a side character. He's spiraling more and more into anger, depression, and bloodlust and a lot of that painful journey is seen in DEEPER THAN MIDNIGHT.
As for the relationship, I did like the idea of Corinne and Hunter together because they're both damaged people looking to find their footing in an uncertain world. Despite Hunter's brutal upbringing, he's a natural protector and the perfect person to keep Corinne safe. However, his stoic and emotionless demeanor made it really hard to latch onto his character outside the surface level person we've been presented with up to this point. Hunter still felt like a side character, in terms of development and interest, even in his own story. Additionally Corinne felt a bit one dimensional as well and while I felt like her personality was stronger she still felt very surface level.
Content Warning: Corinne was kidnapped, tortured, raped, and experimented on for decades; references to forced childbirth
