I think it was the idea of the Black Dagger Brotherhood- it just didn't appeal. I have been resisting the recommendation to buy JR Ward for sometime. Introducing all the brothers here also means I'm now really looking forward to the rest of the series (especially Zsadist's book) so I can find out even more about them.Īll in all this was a great read and I can't wait to get stuck into Lover Eternal. The rest of the brothers are introduced, along with a human cop, and each is really unique. The pacing of the book is excellent - managing to balance the slower emotional side of the story, with action packed fight scenes and a creepy view-behind-the-curtain of the Lessening Society. Their romance is realistic and the book is also grounded with other storylines, like the fight against the Lessers and the choices of one particular Lesser Mr X. Wrath and Beth are great characters that really come to life on the page, and I was completely glued to their story throughout. The world is incredibly well developed with no info dumping, instead there is a glossary at the start of the book for all of the new terminology introduced - like Lessers (bad guys), Shellan (wife) and Doggen (butler).

I've read this book twice now, and I'm happy to say I enjoyed it even more the second time through. This is the first in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series which has been recommended to me so many times I've actually lost count. Darius has left a half-breed daughter, Beth, and he needs Wrath to protect her. Now he's mourning the loss of his friend and warrior Darius, and finds himself with another unexpected responsibility. After watching his parents slaughtered by members of the evil Lessening Society, Wrath found himself the reluctant king and leader of a band of warriors known as the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Wrath is the last purebred vampire on the planet.
