Delivered from the darkness, a woman finds herself plunged into a passion that is Deeper Than Midnight.

At eighteen, Corinne Bishop was a beautiful, spirited young woman living a life of privilege as the adopted daughter of a wealthy family. Her world changed in an instant when she was stolen away and held prisoner by the malevolent vampire Dragos.

After many years of captivity and torment, Corinne is rescued by the Order, a cadre of vampire warriors embroiled in a war against Dragos and his followers. Her innocence taken, Corinne has lost a piece of her heart as well - the one thing that gave her hope during her imprisonment, and the only thing that matters to her now that she is free.

Assigned to safeguard Corinne on her trip home is a formidable golden-eyed Breed male called Hunter. Once Dragos's most deadly assassin, Hunter now works for the Order, and he's hell-bent on making Dragos pay for his manifold sins. Bonded to Corinne by their mutual desire, Hunter will have to decide how far he'll go to end Drago's reign of evil - even if carrying out his mission means shattering Corinne's tender heart.

*Minor Series Spoilers, NO Spoilers for Deeper Than Midnight.

Here we are, 9 books in and we finally get Hunter’s story. Hunter is a Breed male created to be a warrior for the evil Dragos. A few books ago we witnessed him changing sides and becoming a part of the warrior group that fights protect the civilian Breeds and keep the peace and now, in Deeper Than Midnight, he finally gets his HEA.

In Taken by Midnight we saw the Breed Mates take charge and save a lot of Breed Mates that had been kept captive for a long time. One of these females was Corinne. Corinne has gone through all kinds of hell, now she just wants to go home and it’s Hunter’s job to make sure she gets there safe. However that turns out to be a much harder job than once believed.

I have been looking forward Hunter’s story for a long time and was happy to finally seeing Hunter evolve from a cold and hardened warrior to the man he deserves to be and have the happiness he deserves to have.

On the background of Corinne and Hunter’s journey, Sterling Chase got quite a lot of stage time and even though I love the man, I felt that him getting so much spotlight was in detriment of Hunter and Corinne’s story. The ending felt rushed and incomplete when it comes to the main two characters’ HEA and since it is a Paranormal Romance novel, it bothered me some.

I have to say that I did enjoy the book quite a lot and I am looking forward to Chase’s story, I just wished Hunter and Corinne had had more stage time, it was their book after all.
