It's about time!!! I got suckered in to read this series and I'm glad I gave in to peer pressure. LOLI like it, even though it's flawed in so many ways (ok just one, still not impressed with J.R Ward) I do however like how her writing is all about the dark, horrific, violent and smutty. I'm guessing that each book is centered on each brothers? (Did not read any reviews to avoid checking what to expect) This book is centered on Wrath, the king of all Vampires, the last one that carries the pure blood of their race and the halfling named Beth Randall, daughter of his late brother (frat sense) Darius. I have learned that their enemy is called the Lessening Society, whose members are psycho humans who sold themselves to the Omega (devil or you know the evil sonuvavich) so that they would have the agility, and inhuman strength sothey would have at least a fighting chance of surviving / fighting or whatever the heck it is that they think was necessary to eliminate the BDBs and their civilians. Wrath is the leader of Black Dagger Brotherhood - Natural born lethal weapons who would not hesistant to kill anybody obstructing their way of annihilating their enemy. (supposedly... until Beth happened to Wrath - the scene wherein Wrath decided not to kill Butch)So I think Wrath is freakin amazing, yes eventhough he could probably crush me and scared me at no end. It was an intrigue when I found out that he is going blind, or was her already blind? sorry I did not wallow on that part but that adds to his mysterious nature. But anyway, he and Beth is meant for each other, Beth neutralizes the bad ass in him and is really very sweet, I like that part where she gave Rhage the water and helped him calm down. it's a wonderful thing a woman does to a man. LOL. Stereotyping, but I love it when a guy is so evil, acting like an ass and is all high and mighty but when the right womn comes along they are the most incredible person in the universe. These vampires are not like the Cullens, Oliver from Morganville Vampires will cower in the corner if he ever cross them, Damon and Stefan are wuss compared to this guys (I already think Stefan's a wuss anyways), or Quinn would probably accept Riley's nature fully when one of the BDB request it from him. In short these vamps are not so much the ones you swoon about so don't expect the typical "awwww that's so sweet" moments. ( )

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. ( )

Wow! ( )

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! ( )
