Length: 10 hrs and 35 mins

Publisher's summary

Something inhuman is stalking the frigid Alaskan wilds, leaving unspeakable carnage in its wake. For bush pilot Alexandra Maguire, the killings stir memories of a horrific event she witnessed as a child and evoke in her the inexplicable sense of otherness she has long felt within herself but never fully understood...until a darkly seductive stranger with secrets of his own enters her world.

Sent from Boston on a mission to investigate the savage attacks and stop the slaughter, vampire warrior Kade has his own reasons for returning to the frigid, forbidding place of his birth. Haunted by a secret shame, Kade soon realizes the stunning truth of the threat he faces - a threat that will jeopardize the fragile bond he has formed with the courageous, determined young woman who arouses his deepest passions and most primal hungers. But in bringing Alex into his world of blood and darkness, Kade must confront both his own personal demons and the even greater evil that could destroy all he holds dear.

Critic reviews

" Shades of Midnight deserves a perfect 10!" ( Romance Reviews Today)

Another Good Story

I love all the Breed Stories thus far. Lara Adrian does an excellent job of telling her story. The heroine in this story bothered me some, she was somewhat flighty, especially when dealing with the sheriff and her knowledge of what he was doing. Also chasing a guy who was running with a wolf pack. Not smart at all. A good story though.

Enter...The Ancient!

Things really come to a head in this book! Mostly everything comes together and is the ultimate set up for the next books love story (which I think of obvious even without checking out the next books summary 😊), plus we get to experience the ancient in action.

I have my Favorites of this series... particularly Niko and my girl Renata's book! But this book stood out, too, right from the start. The movie in my mind began and it just went from there!

MUST read! This is part 1 of the beginning of the end of the FIRST part of the Midnight Breed series. SO looking forward to the next book!

Alaska resident loves this Book

Perfect , unique location made this believable. Pit bulls aren't portrayed accurately in the beginning.

Blazing hot story in frigid Alaska

Where does Shades of Midnight rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Definitely one of my favorites, both within the Breed series, and for my audio collection in general. A book I've listened to more than once.

What did you like best about this story?

It's a really interesting story about family dynamics, going home, and doing the right thing even when it isn't easy.

Have you listened to any of Hillary Huber’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I've listened to other Breed books that she's narrated. Performance quality is high for them all, so I can't rank a preference there.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Wild animals aren't the only Alaskan predators.

Surprising!

I have been enjoying this series tremendously. I really was delighted to see Kade’s and Alex’s journey to their love and mating. I don’t think that will be the last we see or hear about the ancient though, especially since he left Alex’s best friend with this unexplained gift of speaking an ancient language, yet not understanding it herself.

love this series

I absolutely love this series and I love how every story is different with each character in each story I can't believe I'm just now finding out about this series

Still good!

I took a break from this series....but I still love them! This is book 7 and still different from the rest :-)

This is the story of Cade. He traveled to Alaska to investigate some odd killings...and of course there was more to it than that.

Good story, still love them, highly recommended.

another amazing book

An Alaskan bush pilot, Alexandra Maguire comes across a series of gruesome murders while on a remote supply run. The state of the bodies remind her of how her mother died--at the mouth a monster. A warrior from the Order who hunts rogue vampires, Kade is sent to investigate the murders. The book focuses on their relationship and solving the killings -- with many twists and turns.

An entertaining read, this book was an engrossing mix of mystery, suspense, romance, and action. The author did a great job with the surprises towards the latter half of the book. I expected the story to go one way based on early hints, but boy did she surprise me! Good mystery! I liked the main characters and the story pulled me in. I also enjoyed the unusual setting; so many paranormal romances are in big cities that remote Alaska was a nice change of pace. The artist did a wonderful job on the book cover. It is beautifully done.
