Ashes of Midnight by Lara Adrian

4.0

ASHES OF MIDNIGHT takes us further into the battle against Dragos and brings us back to Andreas who we met in [MIDNIGHT AWAKENING. I enjoyed this one a lot but I did miss the charming and easy going Andreas that we met from before. After the murder of his Darkhaven he's been consumed by his anger and his need for vengeance and this fuels his fire ability. But even under all the anger we see Andreas's need to protect and his desire to help the Order with their mission. Claire might not recognize this new Andreas but she refuses to give up on him and her compassion is the only thing that can save him.

I really loved these two together but boy did they take my emotions through the ringer! There's so much hurt in their history and it's not easy to overcome considering the circumstances that have brought them together again. But their love for each other was crystal clear from the first moment. While ASHES OF MIDNIGHT is focused on Andreas and Claire, there's still plenty of appearances by the Order and all the great characters we've met along the way. And Tegan giving advice on love and women was sending me!
