Deeper Than Midnight by Lara Adrian

4.0

Bought for Myself
Overall Rating 4.25
Story Rating 4.00
Character Rating 4.50

NOTE: The Midnight Breed series is my favorite series of all time. I love Lara Adrian's writing and the stories that she has crafted. Hunter is a character I have been drawn to since he was introduced and was not disappointed in his story.

What I Loved: Hunter was everything I knew he could be in this story. From the moment he was introduced in the series, you knew he was different from the rest of the Order. He is more stoic, quiet, and singular which in a way made him more intriguing to me. I also knew this would be why I loved this book more than some of my friends that have read it. I wanted to see how he went from being singular to caring with all his heart, mind, body, and soul about someone else. The journey that he and Corinne took was slow and methodical which was exactly what was expected. Corinne was the perfect mate for Hunter because she was scarred, scared, and fighting to get back to normal after her ordeal. Their passion once it ignited was off the charts and healing to both of them. Oh I also love who said I love you first!

(There are things that I loved that would be considered spoilers so leaving them out.)

What I Liked: This book had a great balance of romance and action with most of the action coming from the other members of The Order. We got to see a lot of forward story in this book with Dragos, The Order, and the issues Chase (Harvard) is dealing with. While at times, I thought it overwhelmed Hunter/Corinne's story at this point in the series I thought it was necessary. Since I love series and story arches it really worked for me.

Complaints: I could have used a little more time with Hunter/Corinne after the passion ignited but sometimes something has to give.

Why I gave it a 4.25: I finished this book in a day and half squeezing it in between work, working out, book club, and other obligations. I feel it was a great addition to the series.
