Fantasy. Fiction. Romance. HTML:Fan favorite couple Rhage and Mary return in this gripping novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.
 
Nothing is as it used to be for the Black Dagger Brotherhood. The slayers of the Lessening Society are stronger than ever, preying on human weakness to acquire more money, more weapons, more power. But as the Brotherhood readies for an all-out attack on them, one of their own fights a battle within himself...

And the answer, when it comes to him, rocks his—and his beloved Mary’s—world...

I loved the story. I still hate Mary with a gut-wrenching person, but the story was sweet. I really hope that everything works out for the little family. Onward and outward to blood vow next. ( )

Love Rhage and Mary, Bitty and The Beast. This is their story and it is fantastic. Of course, added to the story is more on the traitor Throe, and the drama of Assail and his startling discovery, enlisting help from Zsadist. Somehow I stayed up ALL night and into the next day reading. Could not put it down - It did not disappoint. Whew. ( )

I felt the beginning dragged a little bit, but once it got rolling I really had a hard time putting it down. ( )

5 Stars

There are parts that are that I absolutely loved.
Believe it or not, most of those parts were NOT about Rhage & Mary.

Nope, it was the parts about Assail that I found to be spectacular.
His drug dealing and addiction was put out on display. He had that moment of truly seeing himself. Oh, and the cloak-and-dagger parts with him working for Wrath, the king...
LOVED IT!

There is a lot that happens in this one. Too much to really give each element its due. So I am just going to say;

âś… The Rhage/Mary parts are good and real page turners.
âś… Layla, Quinn, Blay and Xcor all have parts that give you a gasp or two.
âś… Z and V also have some intriguing moments.
âś… There are some new characters brought in, and towards the end, one of them makes you
sit up and say,"Oh Sh**!"

Can't wait for the next book in this and the new spin off series, Black Dagger Legacy. ( )

I....hmm.

*All the side plots right now are ones I actually like? (Oh, except Jo Early, that was weird, but Assail, Xcor/Layla, twins, Scribe Virgin?)
*Everyone is way more of a dick to Lass than he deserves, seriously, guys, he's your friend and does your jobs.
*The flimsy nature of the masquerade here is getting fucking ridiculous
*Rhage's (oh, and everyone's) murderous masculine possessiveness is old.as.fuck.
*Like the glimpses of issues with Vishous (V is always going to have issues) and Tohr.
*Why is there even a lesser war anymore? Clearly vampire aristocracy maneuvering is the order of the day and it's more interesting anyway.
*Butch/Manny's fucking dad had 1400 Secret Vampire Babies who all moved to Caldwell ( )

DEDICATED TO ALL THREE OF YOU. THAT SAYS IT ALL XXX

Quotations
“Rhage! You have a dragon! A pet dragon! I got to rub his tummy!”
"Life didn't have to be perfect...for true love to exist in it"
She was the watch on his wrist, the roast beef when he was starving, and the pitcher of lemonade when he was thirsty. She was his chapel and his choir, the mountain range to his wanderlust, the library for his curiosity, and every sunrise or sunset that ever was or would be. She was all the power in the universe coalesced into a living, breathing thing, the miracle that he had been granted.
