Introduction
Darker After Midnight is the 10th installment in the "Midnight Breed" series. I really was so excited to get back to this series. This was part of a romanceopoly pick and I am so happy that I was able to get to this one. I had forgotten how much I loved the world of the Midnight Breeds. I really enjoyed how this one was built and oh boy it kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. If you are a fan of vampires, then I can't recommend these books enough especially if you prefer higher amounts of steam. The author definitely writes these aspects so well here. I do recommend reading the series in order if you can.

Summary
Darker After Midnight brings together Sterling Chase and Tavia Fairchild. Sterling Chase is one of warriors for the Order, which is a cadre of Breed warriors that are determined to stop the plans of Dragos. But when he sacrifices himself to help his brothers when their location is found by the authorities, he then meets Tavia who is much more than she seems, but she also has ties to Dragos that she is unaware of. When Tavia finds herself kidnapped by Chase, who is determined to protect her but when truths are revealed about Tavia's true identity, their world will shift and the evil machinations of Dragos will be escalated and only by them working together can they work on bringing him down...

My Outlook
Darker After Midnight, is such a fantastic book! I absolutely had so much fun with this one. It definitely contained the best spooky paranormal vibes that I was looking for. It was also fun to get back to the series and all my favorite characters again and you can bet I will be returning to this series soon as I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the writing style of this author. It was so intriguing to see how the author built up the story. I just loved it so much. I also was so intrigued by the way the author built up the plot of the book. This book really escalated the evil plans of Dragos and I can tell you it gets INTENSE in this book! Whew boy! I absolutely loved how well the author wrote these elements and how much it raises the tension and climax in the story but the way that the story actually wraps up was just right! And I am intrigued to see what happens with the heroines in the next upcoming books. The author built this story just right to make me want to read more right away!
