Elise Chase has only one mission in mind as she prowls the streets of Boston, a lone woman with knife in hand. Using a unique psychic gift that could well destroy her, and uncaring if it does, she tracks her prey, seeking revenge against the Rogue vampires who took all that mattered in her life -- her husband and teenaged son. Reeling from both physical and mental pain, Elise has grown careless in her quest, and if not for Breed Warrior Tegan, her life might well have ended before her mission was complete.

The most powerful of all the Breed Warriors, Tegan understands Elise better than most, for he too has experienced loss in the battle with the Rogues. Unlike Elise, who is almost mindless in her need to destroy those who destroyed her family, Tegan has a reputation for stone- cold control. All of that changes when he recognizes Elise as his Breedmate, and they join forces against Merek and those who follow him.

Lara Adrian's MIDNIGHT AWAKENING is a most satisfying follow-up to KISS OF CRIMSON and the third book in the Midnight Breed series. Tegan and Elise are soul- mates, destined for destruction without one another, each needing the strengths the other possesses to become whole. Merek is a frightening villain with an army of minions to carry out his evil wishes. MIDNIGHT AWAKENING is a fast- paced, erotically charged thriller that will excite fans and newcomers alike. One word of advice: while this is a stand-alone story, the plotline continues that which was started in KISS OF MIDNIGHT and KISS OF CRIMSON. Readers will definitely benefit from having the history by reading the novels in order.

Book Summary

With a dagger in her hand and vengeance on her mind, Darkhaven beauty Elise Chase prowls Boston’s streets in search of retribution against the Rogue vampires who took from her everything she cherished. Using an extraordinary psychic gift, she tracks her prey, well aware that the power she possesses is destroying her. She must learn to harness this gift, and for that she can turn to only one man—the deadliest of the Breed warriors, Tegan.

No stranger to loss, Tegan knows Elise’s pain. He knows fury, but when he slays his enemies it is with ice in his veins. He is perfect in his self-control, until Elise seeks his aid in her personal war. An unholy alliance is forged—a bond that will link them by blood and vow—and plunge them into a tempest of danger, desire, and the darkest passions of the heart. . . .
