Edge of Darkness (Hunter Legacy #3) [Knox & Leni] by Lara Adrian

Though I've been a fan of the Midnight Breed series for YEARS now, and it's basically (still) my favorite Vampire series I feel like this book was TOO predictable, not in the story-line sense, but in the way the characters behaved (especially Knox). I could basically say what he was about to say/think before it happened. The way they fell for one another felt like Lara's usual format and though I usually enjoy it, I needed more from this book.

I KNOW we've met Knox Hunter before but for the life of me, I simply CANNOT figure out where from. He is a part of the "Hunter Program" and after his release he as built a home with 3 more survivors but he left after he lost the woman he cared for. I REMEMBER this from another book by Lara I hope I'll be add this detail somewhere in the future when it comes to me (or after I do enough of digging ;)). As this is a spin-off series all the details you need to know about the world is built into the story so this (as the other books in the series) can truly be read as a standalone bringing you a little bit into the interesting world Lara created for her Vampires.

Hour of Darkness (Hunter Legacy #2) [Cain & Marina] by Lara Adrian

I gotta say I was quite disappointed with this one. First, I didn't like the hero, almost right from the start, and second the story line and the whole interaction felt predicted, you know this pattern and you've read it in too many PNR books. I don't read as many PNR as I used to these days, mostly stick to Contemporary so many that's part of my problem. Big-ass-bad-Vampire, moody, arrogant, killing-machine, alpha, aggressive, over-protective, knows what's best for the heroine. You've met "him" SO MANY TIMES, especially with being hurt in the past so doesn't want to get near the female to protect his heart. I wish this was somehow different but it was SO Predictable I was just bored when I wasn't annoyed with his over bearing behavior.

Born of Darkness (Hunter Legacy #1) [Asher & Naomi] by Lara Adrian

I'll admit I have HIGH expectation from Lara. The Midnight Breed is one of my absolute favorite PNR series and the Hunters' stories is something I wondered about especially since "Deeper than Midnight" (Hunter and Corrine's book). I wanted to learn more about them, what they went through, to see them grow into independent men. In this one I felt we got a lot more of Naomi's story than Asher (which was mostly revealed to us in the end). 

Asher have been living a life of mostly solitude since he was released from captivity. He had a human companion he lived with for years, but he died leaving Asher to live in his farm on his own. He doesn't mind that really but when he saves a young woman - Naomi, all that is about to change.
