Product Description:

There are far worse evils than jazz and lipstick...

By day, Allegra Chase lives among the artists and eccentrics of 1920s Greenwich Village, in search of adventure. By night, she haunts the city's back alleys and seedy speakeasies, driven by a more primal hunger. Here, amid the glitz and unrestrained morals of jazz-age society, even a vampire can fall prey to the temptations of the flesh. One look into the golden eyes of the dashing Griffin Durant, and Allegra knows she's not dealing with just a man...

Though their kind have been enemies for centuries, Griffin has never encountered a vampire as independent, uninhibited or eager for his touch as Allegra. Yet their newfound desire is threatened by a jealous vampire master, and a race war seems inevitable. Griffin and Allegra must struggle to stay out of harm's way--and hold on to their dream of an eternity of passion.

- Relentless
Usually I don't want a book to end...but this one couldn't end soon enough; it was relentless! It just kept going on and on and on...from one perilous situation to another - enough already! It was worse than the old Saturday afternoon movie theatre serials. And, while the author did attempt to get the details of the era correct, she stumbled big time w/ the "forensic evidence" comment. Forensic evidence (the term) didn't come into common usage until recently (when forenisc science became popular). I was much more interested in the cute dog w/ the author in her picture than I was in what happened to these characters. The book was an unfortunate waste of valuable time (that could have been spent reading something worthwhile).

- Had a hard time finishing....
The first chapter seemed promising...but after that I had a hard time finishing the book. I read the first half of the book and then I skimmed through the rest and read the last few chapters to find out how the story ended. For me, the book was boring, took forever to get to the point and like the other reviewer wrote, not much of a romance novel.

- Don't waste your time
I picked this book up because I thought the concept was new and innovative. I could hardly finish this book!! The author failed to explain important plot details and the few explanations the author chose to give were too convenient, and trite. It seems as if Ms Krinard wrote/solved her plot dilemmas on the fly with very little forethought. I am a big fan of Paranormal romance, this was definitely the worst I have ever read and the romance was practically non-existent.

- 4.5 Stars A vast improvement over her last book, Krinard delivers a rich romantic paranormal
At first glance Allegra Chase, a vampire who spends her life seeking fun and pleasure as part of the speak-easy set, and solid upstanding millionaire philanthropist werewolf Griffin Durant have little in common. But in reality both use the life roles they have wrapped around themselves as armor to hide the scars from their pasts.

Chasing Midnight is set in the 20's in prohibition New York, but Krinard has layered it with the paranormal. Not only are there clans of vamps and packs of wolves, but the paranormal share the city in an uneasily balance with the human gangsters. When Griffin and Allegra meet they feel a draw that they try to deny, for not only do they walk in different worlds in their human guises but they also have to overcome the prejudices between races, as 'leeches' and 'dogs' are enemies. But fate has different plans for them, even as they try to avoid each other and the feelings they ... Read More
