Kiss of Midnight: The Midnight Breed, Book 1

Lara Adrian's captivating Vampire mythology is completely unique. She has taken one or two of the "Hollywood" elements, but oh my goodness, the rest of her Vampire world is unlike anything I have read before and I cannot get enough of the richly detailed backstory that is flawlessly woven into the main story. The exposition is paced perfectly - giving enough detail to be relevant and intriguing, adding more suspense and mystery to the novel as the plot progresses.

We are immediately swept up into the story by Hillary Huber's sultry voice. Her pacing and timing are perfect and she is wonderful at breathing life into the characters. Each male has a distinct personality which she brings to life with clever and competent use of different accents and varying timbre, making it easy to listen and envision the story as it happens. Not a lot of female narrators can pull off the smoldering Alpha-Male characters without sounding androgynous and awkward. Hillary's portrayal of Lucan is just plain sexy. She adds color and character to each male in the book - breathing just the right amount of passion, restraint, desire, anger, self-loathing and acidic hatred into each character. Her female voices are decent, but they all seemed to sound the same to my ears. If Hillary continues narrating the series, the only thing that I would view as an area of development would be for to give the female characters a bit more of a range and flavor, as she does so amazingly with the male characters.

I love this book. I have listened to it three times. Great plot with just the right amount of action, suspense and hot sensuality! I can't wait until Kiss of Crimson comes out on audio. The narrator was excellent!

I have been asking Audible to put this series on audio for almost a year now and thank you Audible for making this available. I loved this book series and think the audio version was just as thrilling. The narrator did a wonderful job with the characters. I'm happy they started with book one. Sometimes they start with the most recent book and work their way through the series. I can't wait for the rest of the books to come out!

I know I like an Author when I google to see what else they've written. This was a great debut and I can't wait for the rest of the series to become available on Audible.

And to think, I almost didn't spend my husband's credits on this one because of the cheesy silhouetted gravestones on the cover. It ended up being one of my favorite listens. I liked the narrator too, so happy she didn't give Lucan a fake dracula accent.

I have read the whole series and was curious if an audio version would measure up. I loved it! The narrator did a wonderful job. I hope we will see the rest of the series on Audible soon.

Hillary Huber, you rock! What an amazing example of how an audio book should be done! The story was compelling and complex and through it all she gave each and every character a solid (and unique) voice and personality. Her male characters were amazing! Even when 4 or 5 of them were having a conversation, I never had a problem telling them apart. Her female characters - the same. Using only her beautiful voice (and obvious acting skills) Hillary captivated me from beginning to end. Not to mention that any woman who can read very descriptive sex scenes (like the ones in Kiss of Midnight) without having even so much as a waver in her voice - well, suffice to say, she is GOOD!

Lara, please write more books! The story was so good and the characters so well developed - I can hardly wait for the next one!

LOVED IT!

I've been looking for good audio books after BDB series and found this almost on par. It was entertaining and worth the credit.

I just finished reading this entire series and already devoured the Blackdagger Brotherhood series as well as the Twilight series. I have to say that I'm just as much in love with the midnight breed as I am the other vampire series I've read. It's a very nice take on vampire mythology. I'm dying to read the next book and am ready and waiting for the rest of the series to come out on audiobook. The only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the vampire "otherworldly" premise but I suppose that's Lara Adrian's take on it and I have to admit that it is unique. VERY happy with this series so keep it coming!

I'm hooked. The narration of this book is outstanding and the scope of its story is absolutely engaging left me wanting more. I really hope Kiss of Crimson, Midnight Awakening as well as the other books of this series are available soon on audible.
