This is book 4 of the Midnight Breed Series and I have to say, I am still in love with the series. I have yet to be disappointed.  I find myself reading and not being able to put the books down because I want to know what’s going to happen next.  

The story picks up right where Midnight Awakening left off. Rio is in cave where the empty hibernation chamber was found that once held one of the original alien vampires. Rio stayed behind to blow up the cave so that no one would find it.  Several months later, the cave still remains open and Rio is contemplating whether or not to lock himself in the cave to die.  After his blood mate Eva betrayed the Order and almost had him killed, he has never been able to get over it.  Meanwhile, Dylan, a journalist who is trying to get her “big” story to make a name for herself stumbles upon the crypt where Rio is.  Now Rio realizes he has to erase her memory and get the camera which she took the pictures with before she publishes her story.  Of course, this is when they fall in love, but the problem is that she is a breed mate, and he is scared of falling in love again, nonetheless, trusting a woman again.  After returning to the States, Dylan chose to go back to her old life because her mother was dying of cancer and didn’t have too much time to live.  So now Rio is told to erase her memory of everything, including him, something they both don’t want.  I don’t want to give much more up, but there is something bad brewing up and Dylan is the only one who can help.  I can’t wait to start reading book #5, Veil of Midnight.

Summary: In a world of shadows and dark, consuming hungers, desire is the deadliest weapon...

For journalist Dylan Alexander, it began with the discovery of a hidden tomb, thrusting her into the center of a gathering storm of violence and secrets. But nothing is as dangerous as the scarred, lethally seductive man who rises from the shadows to draw her into his world of dark desire and endless night.

Fueled by pain and rage over a shattering betrayal, the warrior Rio has pledged his life to the war against the Rogues. He will let nothing stand in his way—least of all a mortal woman with the power to expose the entire vampire race. For an ancient evil has been awakened, and a stunning darkness is on the rise. Suddenly Dylan is powerless to resist Rio’s touch, even as she uncovers a shocking link to her own past. And now she must choose: Leave Rio’s midnight realm, or risk it all for the man who has shown her true passion and the infinite pleasures of the heart. . . .
