In the latest Novel of the Elder Races, two souls who have long buried their passions are about to be consumed…
Ever since their scorching affair ended years ago, Julian, the Nightkind King, and Melisande, daughter of the Light Fae Queen, have tried to put the past behind them—and distance between them. But when a war breaks out between Julian and Justine, a powerful Vampyre of the Nightkind council, they find themselves thrown together under treacherous circumstances…
Kidnapped as leverage against Julian, Melly is convinced that her former lover won’t be rushing to her rescue. But when Julian gives himself up to save her, they both end up Justine’s captives. Armed only with their wits and their anger, Melly and Julian must work together to escape. But will they be able to ignore their complicated history, or will the fiery passion that once burned them blaze again?

Thea Harrison is one of my pre – order authors, no matter what she writes I know I will enjoy the stories she spins. In Midnight Kiss, the Elder Race series is in San Francisco with the political upheaval of the Nightkind demnse. Julian who we first met in Serpent’s Kiss (Elder Races Book 3) is the main romantic lead in this book. How could this possibly be a good book as I HATED JULIAN, he tried to have Carling killed! Well I am glad to announce that I no longer hate Julian. Harrison has let us into the world of the Roman general; and because of this, his prior actions make more logical sense, and I don’t want to impale him.
As the previous book Night’s Honor ended Melisande was kidnapped. This book centers around Melly’s (Melisande) kidnapping and the politically maneuvering of the Nighkind Vampyres. As with most of Harrison’s Elder Race books, this one has mulitple layers and plots taking place within the main romance, or fight that is Julian and Melisande relationship. This isn’t a new relationship, as it was set up in Night’s Honor that this couple had a fiery past. He is the head of the Nightkind and she is the heir to the Light Fae court; so their previous relationship was not without it’s political bumps on the road. The adventure in Midnight Kiss, is fraught with danger, rabid feral vampyres, political machinations, betrayal, assassination attempts and evil jinn, could you ask for anything more? NOPE, neither could I, this is a book that is well worth the money.
