In this pulse-pounding and thrillingly sensual novel, Lara Adrian returns to the mesmerizing world of the Midnight Breed, following new characters into a dark future where an uneasy peace can unravel into warâ??and a great betrayal can mask an all-consuming love.

Twenty years after the terror of First Dawnâ??when mankind learned that vampires lived secretly among themâ??the threat of violence reigns as the two species struggle to coexist. The only group preserving the fragile harmony is the Order, an elite cadre of Breed warriors dedicated to protecting humans and vampires alike. And in this precarious world of torn loyalties and shattered trust, Mira, a fiery squad captain, finds that every fight bears an intensely personal cost.

Raised among the Order, Mira has always believed in the warrior's code of swiftâ??and even lethalâ??justice. But the one thing she desires more than the Order's hard-won acceptance is Kellan Archer, a sexy but troubled Breed fighter. In love with him since childhood, Mira once broke through his tough exterior during an unexpected night of rapture, but the next day he mysteriously disappeared, never to return.

Kellan didn't think he would ever see Mira againâ??or have to confront the truth of why he left. After abandoning the Order years ago, he now leads a band of human rebels intent on carrying out their own vigilante rule of law. Yet a high-profile kidnapping assignment brings him face-to-face with the past he sought to avoid, and the striking woman he has tried desperately to forget. And as tensions mount and the risk of bloodshed grows, Kellan and Mira must take sidesâ??between the competing missions that dominate their lives, and the electrifying passion that claims their hearts.
Praise for Edge of Dawn

"With an Adrian novel, readers are assured of plenty of dangerous thrills and passionate chills."â??RT Book Reviews

"The eleventh installment in Adrian's strikingly original Midnight Breed series delivers an abundance of nail-biting suspenseful chills, red-hot sexy thrills, an intricately built world, and realistically complicated and conflicted protagonists, whose happily-ever-after ending proves to be all the sweeter after what they endure to get there."â??Booklist (starred review)

"Adrian has always been an impeccable writer, but as I started reading this book, I was reminded of just how amazing and talented she is. She paints a vivid picture for every scene, delves deeper into each character until readers know everything about them, and writes some of the best action sequences I've encountered in a long time. . . . Make no mistake, Lara Adrian is one of the premier authors of paranormal romance and with this book, she proves it! . . . Edge of Dawn is a game changerâ??a book that will revolutionize the way readers see the Midnight Breed world and stir up some excitement! Filled with angst, tortured hearts, above all, selfless love, Edge of Dawn will break your hearts and mend them back up again."â??Fresh Fiction

"A spine tingling thrill ride for both old and new fans alike . . . Edge of Dawn is one of the few stories that deserve more than a five star rating."â??Night Owl Reviews

"Well worth waiting for . . . Adrian once again engulfs her readers in a world or Breed loyalty, fierce passion and emotional overload. . . . The complexity of the plot will leave you stunned to say the least and in my case, left wondering what will happen next. . . . I guarantee you will be begging f

I must admit I skimmed the sex-scenes,especially the chapter-long ones, and could have been quite happy with less in that area. Otherwise, I enjoyed the vampires and the world Adrian created around them. I would have liked to see a bit more of the politics and action, more of the world that provides the backdrop to the sex in this novel. Kellan was almost too much of a headstrong, defeatist idiot, though to make the plot work without more non-romantic development, I get that he had to be like that, just as Mira had to be so hot-tempered and undisciplined that one wonders how she ever managed to finish training for the position she holds in the beginning of this story. A lot of the characterization came across as contrived, not just the main characters, but the plot made up for them enough for me to give this one 4 stars. ( )

Gli ultimi libri di questa serie mi avevano lasciato alquanto delusa - sempre uguali a se stessi. Per non parlare dell'ultimo, dove nell'ultima metà del libro succede di tutto e di più. Troppe novità concentrate.

Questo nuovo libro, che dà l'avvio a un nuovo ciclo dedicato alla nuova generazione della Stirpe, ci offre una boccata d'aria fresca. Cambiano i nemici, cambiano le priorità. Adesso Lucan, Capo dell'Ordine, ha il compito di mantenere e far crescere in modo proficuo la pace tra umani e membri della Stirpe, dopo che questi ultimi sono stati costretti ad uscire allo scoperto. Le cose non vanno tanto bene però. Molti umani vorrebbero soltanto sterminare i mostri...

La protagonista è Mira, figlia adottiva di Renata e Niko. Diventata grande e guerriera come la madre, Mira è un tipino tutto pepe pronta a disubbidire agli ordini e a fare di testa sua. E così, cacciandosi nei guai, finirà per incontrare la sua vecchia fiamma, che credeva morto in un'esplosione, Kellan Archer (una nostra vecchia conoscenza). Leader naturale e dall'onore ancora integro, Kellan scappa dal suo futuro con Mira, finendo però - siete sorpresi? - per finirle decisamente addosso.

Nel complesso è un romanzo carino, ma, per quanto mi riguarda, si è rovinato un po' nel finale. Questi nuovi cattivi nella loro organizzazione ricordano un po' troppo quelli vecchi. Vedremo come si evolverà la faccenda nei prossimi volumi. E la risoluzione della questione Mira-Kellan nel finale mi è parsa semplicistica - della serie: il libro deve finire bene a tutti i costi.

Just finished my reread and uping this to 4 stars.
Definitely a better read the 2nd time around.

I was looking forward to this one. I knew it was a jump 20 years in the future from the last book and that is actually one of my favorite parts of the book. To see Nathan, Mira and Kellan all grown up and being a part of things. There was plenty of suspense and action. All the mysteries and intrigues are there.
Although I love the Midnight Breed series, this was not one of my favorite of the series. My biggest problem was the redundancy throughout the book. Way too many words used over and over again to explain Mira and Kellan's actions and feelings. If at some point this repetitiveness had stopped I would have given her 4 stars. I think all those words could have been better used to make all the other characters and situations more vivid. Because, in truth, it is my ONLY problem with the book. But for me, it was work to read this one. It didn't hold me tight in its grip like the most of the books in this series does. ( )

Love it that Kellan was still around. Let alone Mira was all grown up. Such a cute beginning and an amazing end. ( )

Lara did another great job. The last book I read, prior to this one, I thought it was over. I was upset and wanted to see/read so much more from the Breed. I so love her Breed series. I can't wait to see what is next. Love Kellan and Mira's story! ( )
