Ashes of Midnight (Midnight Breed, #6)

by Lara Adrian

A woman driven by blood. A man thirsting for vengeance...

As night falls, Claire Roth flees, driven from her home by a fiery threat that seems to come from hell itself. Then, from out the flames and ash, a vampire warrior emerges. He is Andreas Reichen, her one-time lover but now a stranger consumed by vengeance. Caught in the crossfire, Claire cannot escape his savage fury - or the hunger that plunges her into his world of eternal darkness and unending pleasure.

Nothing will stop Andreas from destroying the vampire responsible for slaughtering his Breed brethren... even if he must use his former lover as a pawn in his deadly mission. Claire can lead Andreas to the enemy he seeks but it is a journey fraught with danger - and deep desire. For Claire is the one woman Andreas should not crave, and the only one he's ever loved. So a dangerous seduction begins - one which blurs the line between predator and prey, love and hate...

This was a really good book, I love it how "Lara Adrian" put vengence and old loves into the same story line. Andreas & Roth had, had a fued for a long time and it deepened when Roth killed his Darkhaven. Well in Roth doing that it brought Andreas and Claire back together reigniting (no pun intended) their love, while Andreas seeks revenge and battles his Pyro tendencies, he ends up killing Roth and after a final battle of Andreas coming to terms with his pyrokenesis. Him and Claire get their happy ending YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY. BUT!!!!!! the ancient has escaped "RUH ROH GEORGE!" big trouble is coming.

This is probably my least favorite in this series. I am not 100% sure why. I really did not like either of these characters. Which is kind of funny because I liked Andreas in the other books. I guess I like him as more of a supporting character than a staring one.

After finishing Veil of Midnight and thoroughly enjoying it, I was looking forward to reading Ashes of Midnight. However, I thought it was astoundingly bad. It was so bad, that I consider it to be the worst book I've finished so far this year. There was no saving grace to this story at all. Claire had to be dumbest person alive. The things she said and did were absolutely ridiculous. I mean, seriously, her mate had everyone in Andrea's Darkhaven murdered and she couldn't seem to grasp why he might want revenge. I'm sad to say that Andreas wasn't much better. He was so consumed by his rage, he couldn't see anything else. Their romance was anemic and there was way too much angst going on, especially concerning Andrea's ability. The storyline did progress, but I stopped caring. I highly doubt I will continue with this series as I no longer have any interest in what happens in Adrian's world.
