In a frozen wilderness steeped in darkness, the lines between good and evil, lover and enemy, are never black or white but drawn in Shades of Midnight.
Something inhuman is stalking the frigid Alaskan wilds, leaving unspeakable carnage in its wake. For bush pilot Alexandra Maguire, the killings stir memories of a horrific event she witnessed as a child and evoke in her the inexplicable sense of otherness she has long felt within herself but never fully understood . . . until a darkly seductive stranger with secrets of his own enters her world.
Sent from Boston on a mission to investigate the savage attacks and stop the slaughter, vampire warrior Kade has his own reasons for returning to the frigid, forbidding place of his birth. Haunted by a secret shame, Kade soon realizes the stunning truth of the threat he faces–a threat that will jeopardize the fragile bond he has formed with the courageous, determined young woman who arouses his deepest passions and most primal hungers. But in bringing Alex into his world of blood and darkness, Kade must confront both his own personal demons and the even greater evil that could destroy all he holds dear.

My Thoughts.
Alexandra 'Alex' is a pilot who delivers food and other necessities to people living far away from any amenities in Alaska it's while making a stop to a family that are one of her regulars that she finds them all dead with their throats ripped out, this brings to mind the murders of her mother and brother both killed in the same way by a vampire right in front of her eyes years ago.
Back in Boston they hear the new and send Kade off to Alaska having been born and lived there for all his life he knows his way around and his father is the darkhaven's leader there, it's not long before Kade and Alex cross pathsand they're instantly attracted to one another, although it's nearly halfway through the book before Kade realises she's a breedmate who has the power to touch someone when they're talking and knows when they're telling the truth or lying.
The Gen One who escaped at the end of the last book appears in Alaska as does Dragos' operation set up in an old mine.
We also find out that Kade has an identical twin brother who has turned rogue so he has to hunt him down to kill him.
The next book is already set up with Brock meeting his mate towards the end of the book.
Another great one, can't wait for the next.
I give this 5/5.
I love these books so much!!! Great review.
