This novella is just what a seasoned Adrian reader would expect: a mourning Breedmate catches the fancy of a mourning and Byronic Breed male she knew once upon a time, there's a spot of violence to throw them together, and they shove off towards lovely vampiric alien family bliss. Although it leaves out much of the "mechanics" of Adrian's world (such as an explanation of races, what makes one a Breedmate, etc - which appears in all other novels), even this novella is new-reader friendly, and would certainly make a consistent introduction to the series.

Darker After Midnight is the tenth and most recent book in Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed series. Picking up where the last full-length novel concluded, readers follow Chase into police custody, and watch at the Order is forced to relocate in the midst of major personal obstacles. The romance of the novel is consistent with the rest of the series, as is most of the plot, but the resolutions that Adrian offers makes this by far the most satisfying novel yet. While many authors of this genre will string readers along with the promise of an earth-shattering event, Adrian actually follows through. For that, Darker After Midnight well-deserves four stars and a strong recommendation for readers of the genre.
