  STERLING CHASE

  As a father of twins, what are your fondest memories of them as babies/toddlers? I bet you have plenty of adorable stories.

  —Madeline P., Escondido, CA USA

  (chuckles) Memories of my children as toddlers usually involves Carys getting into some kind of trouble and Aric rushing in to get her out of it. Come to think of it, not much has changed now that they’re grown.

  ~ ~ ~

  TAVIA

  Being part Breed now, years later, can you still eat both blood and human food?

  —Angela B., Hillsboro, OH USA

  Yes. I’m lucky, I have the best of both worlds. Savannah and Dylan’s amazing cooking when I want it, and Chase’s carotid for dessert.

  ~ ~ ~

  TEGAN

  When you were in Elise's apartment after you found her hunting Minions, you cooked her breakfast. For someone that only drinks blood and is a Gen One more comfortable with a blade or gun in your hand than a spatula, where did you learn to cook?

  —Sheri B., Tampa, FL USA

  The Food Network. Hang out here sometime with the Breedmates. I figure they must have stock in the network or something, because it’s on just about 24/7.

  Why did you stay with Lucan and the Order after Lucan killed your mate and locked you up to cure your Bloodlust?"

  —Victoria W., Northridge, CA USA

  Didn’t stay long. I left for a while, spent some time in Germany and other places. Hooked back up with Lucan in Boston because being a warrior isn’t something I chose; it chose me. ‘Sides, I couldn’t say it then—not for a long time—but I know he did the right thing. For Sorcha and for me, Lucan did the right thing.

  I know you don't go there now that you have Elise, but where was your dark place that you used to go when you wanted to get away from the Order?

  —Lisa S., London, United Kingdom

  Savannah knows.

  TESS

  I myself have been in the veterinarian field for 15 years and an animal lover so if you can pick 3 warriors and tell me if the warriors were dogs what kind of dog would they be and why?

  —Vikki K., Palm City, FL USA

  First, congratulations and thank you for so many years spent devoted to caring for animals. It’s not an easy job. There’s a lot of cruelty and heartbreak that comes with it, sadly.

  So, three dogs to represent three warriors…?

  (Dante grunts) We all know Harvard’s was chosen a long time ago. Ugly little runt, if I recall.

  (Tess rolls her eyes at her mate) Okay, I have my three: For Lucan, a Pit Bull, because he’s aggressive and fiercely protective, deadly so at times. But also because he’s terribly misunderstood by those who don’t really know him. For Hunter, a German Shepherd, because he’s fearless and loyal, and he will stride calmly into any battle that’s asked of him, and he never, ever cowers. And as for my Dante—

  (Chase interrupts, grinning) Chihuahua? Gotta be something barky, without the good sense to know when to shut up….

  (Tess shakes her head at both of them.) For Dante, a Rottweiler. Because he’s robust and intelligent, defensive of the people he cares about. But also because he can be a big clown when he’s around people he loves.

  (Dante quirks a dark brow) That doesn’t include you, Harvard.

  (Chase chuckles.) Great. I’ll remind you of that next time you need me to haul your Chihuahua ass out of trouble on patrol.

  (Tess shrugs, laughing now) See what I mean? Love.

  Midnight Breed Series Trivia

  I'm always amazed at the depth of series knowledge my readers possess. While I need a reference bible (or a book like this Companion) to keep all the details straight, dedicated fans of the Midnight Breed series can pull even the most obscure character name or book fact from their memory alone.

  I witnessed this myself at LAMB-Con 2012, the first official mini-conference we hosted for Lara Adrian Midnight Breed fans. More than sixty readers gathered in Boston from all over the United States to hang out together with me for a weekend of fun and food, parties and informal chat sessions. As part of LAMB-Con, my staff and I collected hundreds of trivia questions and facts from the books to be used in the many contests and games we played that weekend. What follows is a sampling of those trivia quizzes, as well as a few extras we put together especially for this Companion.

  Test your knowledge of the Midnight Breed, then add up your scores to find out if you are fit to join the Order, or if you would be put to shame by the greenest of Minions.

  Good luck!
