    About this audiobook

    Born and raised as an assassin in the notorious Hunter program, Breed vampire Cain has since put his skills to use as a mercenary willing to clean up any problem for a price. Or so he thought. After a job in Las Vegas strains even his dubious code of honor, Cain pulls up stakes and lands in Miami for a much-needed break. All he wants is time away to clear his head and regroup, but then a beautiful young woman is nearly killed in front of his eyes and the ruthless former Hunter becomes the only thing standing between her and a sniper's bullet.

    Marina Moretskova is no stranger to dangerous men. As the niece of a Russian organized crime boss, she's grown up around killers and criminals. But her uncle wants out now, and he's enlisted Marina's help in buying his freedom by delivering valuable intel to a secret contact in exchange for protection. Not even Marina's bodyguards are aware of her mission, so when an attempt on her life is averted by a handsome, steely-eyed vampire, as grateful as she is for Cain's intervention, the last thing she needs is the shrewd Breed male nosing around for answers. Cain's cold, haunted gaze and merciless abilities attest to his brutal nature, yet the rough, solitary Hunter stirs a powerful longing in Marina that she can neither afford nor resist . . .

    Contains mature themes.

      I absolutely loved this one! Lara Adrian, one of my all time favorite author's, has come out with the second installment to her Hunter Legacy series. This series is an extension of her popular Midnight Breed series and it does not disappoint! They are stand alone novels so you don't need to know the original series and they are action packed and are definitely a page turner! Hour of Darkness: A Hunter Legacy Novel is a quick paced thriller about a Breedmate named Marina and a Gen One Breed Hunter named Cain! Cain helps Marina walk along a dangerous ledge with the Russian Mafia.These two characters are great and the novel really starts to establish the main frame for the series. It felt very similar to the first book of the Midnight Breed series with the establishment of a compound. And there were similar parallels in character personalities to other Breed in the main series. You can tell Adrian is preparing for several more books to come and I can't wait to see what she does with this new concept and story line!
