excellent fun! ( )

Brother Wrath's story begins with a favor to his recently deceased brother, Darius, to protect his only daughter, Beth. Beth being half-human, half-vampire, makes her one of a kind... and her body makes her desirable to even Wrath's cold heart. Being the Brotherhood leader, Wrath knows he must protect her and wait for her change. While protecting Beth and the outside world from the "Lessers" he grows feelings for Beth and she cannot seem to stay away from him.

Typical paranormal romance, but it was a new twist to vampires than what I am used to, so I thoroughly enjoyed it. ( )

So to be honest. It took me a little while to start the book. I had read the first chapter and then put it down. I had my doubts but after a couple months, decided to give it another shot. It tooke a few chapters to really grab my attention. But you get to understand and learn about all the "Brothers" and Beth's history/story, it quikly grabed my full attention. I fell hard core in love with the book and couldnt put it down. Its a wonderful story, just the right about of action and love/sex in the book. LOVED IT! ( )

Loved it! This first book is primarily about the vampire Wrath and his relationship with the Black Dagger brotherhood, his finding and pairing with Beth, and with his acceptance of his destiny.

Also introduced are the Lessers, or slayers, who are the enemies of the vampires.

Ward has created a fascinating world of vampires and I look forward to reading the rest of the series! ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
Dedicated to: / You, with awe and love. / Thank you for coming and finding me. / And for showing me the way. / It was the ride of a lifetime, / the best I've ever had.
First words
Darius looked around the club, taking in the teeming, half-naked bodies on the dance floor. Screamer's was packed tonight, full of women wearing leather and men who looked like they had advanced degrees in violent crime.
Quotations
"No one has ever spoken to me as you just did."

Shit.

"I'm really sorry. I just can't understand why --"

Wrath dragged her into his arms and hugged her hard, talking in that other language again. When he pulled back, he ended the monologue with something that sounded like leelan.

"Is that vampire talk for bitch?" she asked.

(p.248, chapter 31)
"Now tell me something. What's your word for husband?"

"Hellren, I suppose. The short version is just Hell."

She laughed softly. "Go figure."

(p.347, chapter 47)

Book description
Wrath, the leader of a Brotherhood of warrior vampires is entrusted with assisting the half-human daughter of one of his comrades with her "transition" -- the physical and sexual maturation of vampires, in which they need the blood of a fellow vampire of the opposite sex. He is prepared to do his duty and then send her away, but finds himself inexplicably drawn to her. The only problem is that he and his warrior brethren are fighting an army of undead slayers, who are aiming to turn up the heat on the brethren, and Beth isn't the only destiny he's been dodging.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0451216954, Mass Market Paperback)

In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly turf war going on between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brothers like no other-six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Yet none of them relishes killing more than Wrath, the leader of The Black Dagger Brotherhood.

The only purebred vampire left on earth, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who murdered his parents centuries ago. But, when one of his most trusted fighters is killed-leaving his half-breed daughter unaware of his existence or her fate-Wrath must usher her into the world of the undead-a world of sensuality beyond her wildest dreams.
