Ashes of Midnight (Midnight Breed, #6) by Lara Adrian

Ashes of Midnight (Lara Adrian)

SUMMARY

A woman driven by blood. A man thirsting for vengeance.
A place where darkness and desire meet...

As night falls, Claire Roth flees, driven from her home by a fiery threat that seems to come from hell itself. Then, from out of the flames and ash, a vampire warrior emerges. He is Andreas Reichen, her onetime lover, now a stranger consumed by vengeance. Caught in the cross fire, Claire cannot escape his savage fury—or the hunger that plunges her into his world of eternal darkness and unending pleasure.

Nothing will stop Andreas from destroying the vampire responsible for slaughtering his Breed brethren . . . even if he must use his former lover as a pawn in his deadly mission. Blood-bonded to his treacherous adversary, Claire can lead Andreas to the enemy he seeks, but it is a journey fraught with danger—and deep, unbidden desires. For Claire is the one woman Andreas should not crave, and the only one he’s ever loved. A dangerous seduction begins—one that blurs the lines between predator and prey, and stokes the flames of a white-hot passion that may consume all in its path. . . .

I had a small crash with Andreas at Tegan's book. He was the movie star handsome bad boy. I was looking forward to reading his story. I also liked Helen which was his bloodhost. I was really sad with the outcome of their relationship.

In this book Andreas is fighting to control his temper, his guilt, his power over his ability to create fire. He is really suffering in almost all the book. At least I am happy he is somewhat happy in the end.

Claire was just ok. I found her a bit boring and I really could not understand her attitude when they split up with Andreas years ago. She just jumped from one vampire to the other in a very short time, the bastard Wilhelm Roth. Moreover, she did not act as a heartbroken woman all these years -only when she thought Andreas died and again she was too cold, not very convincing.

Anyway, Andreas' story -and only his story- made the book great.
