Well, I said in my review for CHASING DAYBREAK that it would get even better in book 2, and I promise you I did not lie! I believe I actually loved CHASING MIDNIGHT even more! It was such a blast reading this book. This sequel is a bit longer than the first and we get more into the meat of the characters and their lives, since we've already been introdced to them. There was a bit more gore and action in this one (but trust me, it's NOT over the top or anything that would make you stop reading), with a great new case for Isabel and Shane (though she tries to do most of it on her own and, well, you'll see how that goes!). Isabel has a "secret admirer" of sorts, who leaves her gruesome presents at her door. And we meet a new character in Sue, who has a truly unique relationship with Isabel. I loved their push and pull and how Sue forced Isabel out of her comfort zone.
I must acknowledge The Big Event thst happened....can I just say Oh My Gosh and FINALLY and YES!!! I was SO HAPPY when that happened!! Aaaaaand then.... my heart BROKE for Isabel (and for Shane) and I was like "no, no, NO!!" and "what the F#%/ is going on?!?!" GAH!! Why do authors love to see us cry?? Anyway, I was at least relieved to find out that the reason behind the heartbreak was exactly what I thought it was, but I'm scared that he's gonna lose Isabel and something REALLY BAD is going to happen with the whole Richard-experimenting thing...I'm concerned this will not end well!
Needless to say, after devouring the first two books, I'm on pins and freaking needles waiting for book 3! Is it 2016 yet?! Well, at least I'll have the pleasure of re-reading these first two books when the release is impending :-) Trust me, if you like urban fantasy of any sort, vampires, strong women, swoon-worthy vamp men, or any and all of the above, you'll love this series! Check it out!
Thanks to CTP for the e-copy of this book for purposes of an honest review.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Ever finish a book and think to yourself... gawd damn.
The relationship between Isabel and Shane already tugged on my heartstrings a ton during Chasing Daybreak, book 1, but this book... I had moist eyes more than once. The conflict with their relationship is done in such a way that my heart ached as I learned more of their story.
I'm going to say this now, so you know where I stand on this issue. Xander better back the fluff off, or I will cut a bish. #TeamShane
Unlike the first story, a good deal of this one isn't concluded with the end of the book. This has more of an introduction into more shenanigans that poor Isabel just got herself caught up in... and I have one thing to say about that:
Is it 2016 yet? Because I am quite ready for the next book in this series to exist in my life.
Anyway, great series. Can't wait for book 3!
