It was obvious from the first Midnight Breed book that Lara Adrian was ripping off JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series...however, her first 3 or 4 Breed books were still great! Captivating alpha males with scintillating romance, and fight scenes interspersed here and there, but taking a backseat to the main love story.

However, as the series has drug on, it's became more & more repetitive & predictable. No longer love stories, now Adrian's books are filled with one fight scene after another, with some boring sex scenes in the middle.

I had high hopes at the start of this book--I thought "Finally! A love story again!"....but nope, I was wrong. By page 150 I had the ending figured out, and was bored stiff. More battles, more war, more gimme-a-break-haven't-we-had-enough sex scenes...and absolutely no character development or love story.

Once again, JR Ward remains the ONLY author I've ever read whose series gets BETTER as it goes along! At this point I am convinced that Lara Adrian is just cranking out more Breed books to make a fast buck. Never mind that they're all the same, and all basically boring...

This book is ok--but don't waste the money on a hardcover edition. Wait for the paperback...and then trade it--for free! :)

Lara Adrian transports her Midnight Breed series to 20 years into the future after First Dawn. Tensions are high among the humans and the vampires. The Order's leader, Lucan, is trying to balance the prickly relationship but soon discovers that there are other forces inside and outside the Order working against them and these forces are trying to make the vampires out to be the bad guys.

Edge of Dawn focuses on the breed warrior Kellan and his breedmate, Mira. Kellan was supposedly killed eight years before and Mira has felt empty ever since. He was her best friend and only lover and it was all taken away from her in a ball of fire. Only revenge keeps her motivated and fighting for the Order. Then one day during a routine âbabysittingâ mission, Mira discovers a life shattering secret, Kellan is still alive. What is worse, he is the leader for the rebels. Kellan has lived with major regret this entire time but after what he saw in Mira's eyes that night eight years before, he figured he had no choice.

Adrian takes her readers on an emotional roller coaster. Kellan thinks that disappearing was the way to protect Mira only to discover that he has been wrong all along. There is no way to avoid your destiny and his involves facing the Order and paying for what he has done. As Kellan and Mira try to figure out who the actual bad guys are; they also discover that they can no longer deny their love for each other.

This series definitely got a new makeover and the storyline is refreshed. I was unable to put the book down once I started. The ending reveals where Adrian is going with the series and I for one want to be first in line for this ride.

I had high hopes for this book since Mira, Kellan, and Nathan were some of my favorite characters in the series. Also as the series progressed Adrian's writing was improving. However it seemed she has reverted back.

I didn't finish the book because it was really boring and slow. The characters interactions were weak and forced. Instead of introducing characters as the story enfolds, Adrian almost just list them in paragraphs one after another. Adrain kept repeating the same information over and over again. Good if you have no short term memory but really tedious otherwise.

There are no hints of who Kellan, Mira, and Nathan used to be as children. They could have been any harden Breed characters in any books. I wished Adrian spent more time with character development then with endless battles.

I'm very disappointed in this book. I'm not sure I will continue on the series.

20 years after The New Dawn (Chase's story) The Order is split up to rum command centers all around the states and Canada. 8 years prior to this story Kellen Archer was killed in a bombing in a warehouse and hasn't been seen since. Now Mira is still living with her memory of the breed warrior who stolen her heart when she was 8 years old. Now shes in a tale spin of trouble that is forced on her and now she finds her shelf looking to the eyes of a ghostly memory. Bowmen(Kellen) is in charge of a group of rebels trying to to stop a incoming war with breed and humankind. He finds himself with the beautiful Mira in ways hes been trying to stay away from but cannot seem to. Mira and Kellen has to find away to stop her vision from coming true with his death handed by the GNC. But what they discover at the end will blow you mind.
