A Midnight Breed Novel

By: Lara Adrian

Narrated by: Hillary Huber

Length: 11 hrs and 16 mins

Publisher's summary

With the acclaimed Midnight Breed series, New York Times best-selling author Lara Adrian has written thrilling novels of electrifying romance and heart-pounding suspense—thrillers in which humans and vampires live tenuously side by side.

In Crave the Night, Adrian brings the Breed and its world to the brink of war, where even the deepest passion can shatter into violence.

Born and raised to be an emotionless killing machine, Nathan is one of the most lethal Breed vampires in existence. A key member of the Order—an elite group of warriors charged with protecting both mortals and vampires—Nathan executes each mission with flawless precision and a total lack of mercy. Now he must pursue a powerful, hidden enemy. But Nathan’s hard discipline and training are no match for the fierce pull he feels toward a young woman he has no right to desire—a woman of wealth and high social standing who has long been promised to another Breed male, and who may also prove to be the key to rooting out Nathan’s elusive quarry.

Jordana lives a life of glittering privilege as a member of a prominent Breed family in Boston. Surrounded by fine things and fawning admirers, Jordana wants for nothing—until she crosses paths with a dark, intense warrior from the Order and finds herself swept into an impulsive, sizzling kiss that neither of them will forget. As much as she tries to deny her deep feelings for Nathan, Jordana cannot resist the craving to be near him, to break through his forbidding walls and see the man he truly is. But getting close to Nathan will thrust Jordana into a treacherous new world, forcing her to risk all she has and all she knows about herself and her past. And loving this seductive man could be the most dangerous temptation of all.

Critic reviews

“The adventure continues in the twelfth Midnight Breed novel from prolific and talented [Lara] Adrian. This time it’s Nathan, a first generation Breed vampire who was raised as an emotionless hunter, who takes center stage. In the previous book, the revelation of a new enemy turned the world of the Breeds and humans upside down, forging new alliances. Although polar opposites, the fire that sparks between Nathan and privileged Jordana Gates is not to be denied—ensuring readers are in for one thrilling and romantic read!”—RT Book Reviews

“Nothing beats good writing and that is what ultimately makes Lara Adrian stand out amongst her peers. . . . Adrian doesn’t hold back with the intensity or the passion. The sexual tension between Nathan and Jordana is off the charts and sizzles each of the pages. While slow-burning in intensity at the beginning, Adrian really shows off her writing skill in a series of twists that will surely make reader’s head spin. . . . Crave the Night is stunning in its flawless execution. Lara Adrian has the rare ability to lure readers right into her books, taking them on a ride they will never forget.”—Under the Covers

“Impossible to put down.”—Fresh Fiction

AND THE PLOT THICKENS...For the new generation

Loving how series moved to future generation. Awesome new bad guy twist. Series still great!

Thrilling

OMG! Jordana and Nathan’s story is awesome. So many secrets revealed. So many new secrets. I loved this book. I highly recommend this book. Great performance by Hilary Huber.

Another excellent book

What can say? Another excellent book. Were taken further into the world of the "Order". Can't wait to see what happens next.

wow

OK....I'm only half way through this book and I LOVE IT!! I love this series, but THIS book is AMAZING. I may change my mind by the end, but I doubt it. I have read so many romance novels and have gotten to the point that I skim a lot do to the "formula". This book I have been pulled into every scene...even the sexy times. yes I typically skim those times because at this point in my life when you read one you've read then all, and it gets boring. This book actually had me rewinding those times because they were amazing! only 2 other authors have made me do that in recent memory! I can't put my finger on exactly WHY, but I LOVE these 2 together!!! I loved all the others as well, but these 2 seem to be better for some reason.

I have NEVER reviewed a book before I've finishes it, so this is a first. If at any point I change my view I'll edit if needed. At this point I HIGHLY recommend this book! I don't even cate if you've reas the others (but you should cause they are super good too)!

Hot hot hot!

Would you consider the audio edition of Crave the Night to be better than the print version?

Not sure. I was not crazy about the audio narrator, as too monotone. The story has a few twists and turns, as well as a relationship that required more emotion in the narration. She made it more boring than exciting.

What did you like best about this story?

The complexity between the evolution of the mating between Nathan and Jordanna. Also, love Jordanna's story.

What three words best describe Hillary Huber’s performance?

Monotone, boring, sleepy.

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

I would not try to make a movie out of this as Hollywood would likely ruin it!

Any additional comments?

Great story, very hot. I liked the print edition way better. A different audio narrator would have improved the audio, yet great story!

Amazing Listen

I loved this book. The story of hunter and jordana coming together was amazing. The back story of the Alantina's and hearing more about their world defiantly added to the dramatics.
only reason I gave a four star for the performance was there were a few issues with the voice recording sounding far away and the charter voices got a little jumbled. but it was only for a few seconds and then right back on track. cant wait for the next one.

My favorite of the series so far!

I’ve really enjoyed this series, some books more than others but I am hooked and have to read them all. I love a little male dominance especially when the females can still have strong and intelligent personas. I also love how the sexy breed vampires and aliens love and cherish their mates, once together. This book has has it all, passion, romance, plot twists, a bruiting gen 1 male and even a little bdsm. This story is fantastic! I hope Lara Adrian continues the Nathan and Jordan saga in her other books. I want more of them. And of all the Midnight Breed!
Hillary Huber is amazing, the different voices, accents, and her inflection is on point!! ⚡️

To tame

There was only a couple beheadings. The rest of the book was talking and sex. Don't get me wrong I like sex but enough is enough. where is the action, throat ripping vampire action???
