 Well, I need to be completely honest. I really had huge difficulties getting into the story. I adored the previous book "Darker after midnight". It became one of my favourite books and it felt it had a finality. But I was sure the next book, ie this one, it would be brilliant. When I started reading it, I was not impressed. The warriors from the previous books were just filling the background, there were so many new names, I was not sure which new warrior was which old one son. Anyway, the confusion was solved very soon after I started it. 
 My main issue was Mira. She became a captain? Why? How? She confess that she does not have the preternatural speed or strength or the immortality. Of course her mother Renata was a warrior and a badass, but she used to be a bodyguard and she had the special ability to bring to his knees any breed. It was hard to imagine sweet Mira who loved puppies and Christmas being a badass killer warrior. It was funny. And she did not actually did anything to prove it in this book. 
 Anyway, somewhere after page 50 or something I decided that I will treat the books from now on as a new different series. I stopped completely thinking the book as a continuation of "midnight breed". I thought about this book and next books as a spin off. And with that assumption, I was really honestly ok. I totally enjoyed the book. 
 There is a new world built 20 years after humans learn about breeds. Now they coexist, humans and breeds learn to communicate. 
 Kellan, Mira and Nathan grew up together in the Order as training partners and best friends. Kellan after a night of passion with Mira, disappeared and considered dead for 8 years. It is revealed that he is alive and he leads a band of human rebels (whose names we will forget as soon as the book finishes). One kidnapping assignment that they have organised will go terribly wrong and it will be a starting point for Kellan and Mira to meet again. 
 Moreover, a new player is around and the Order has to be extra careful again.
