Embracing Midnight
Review by Lucia
3.5/5 Whips
The main characters in Embracing Midnight left a lot to be desired and the story,while developed, sophisticated and detailed, was wholly unbelievable and entirely out of this realm. The story begins on an FBI stake out, of a suspected pimp and sex trader, the story develops into something completely different.
I would have accepted the sexual vampire story. I could have accepted the alien life force story. Both together? Not so much. Combined with a government conspiracy and some international espionage, as well as a ring of sexually sadistic slayings, it became too much.

Parts of the book became extremely uncomfortable to read, one of which was the rape scene and others being scenes involving other members of the government conspiracy. The story felt like it needed to simmer down, it needed time to reduce.
The two main characters I came to feel a significant amount for. I wanted to help them, I wanted them to succeed. However everything else in the story became too much and it overpowered the relationship between the two of them. Their story became lost in the sea of this ever-growing story around them. Combine that with a pseudo rape scene, Embracing Night made this reader want something more and or better for the hero and heroine. Overall I did enjoy the book, I just wished that many parts of it were different, or were not nearly as involved or convoluted as they became.
