I love the BROTHERHOOD VAMPIRE books. they have great story lines and they continue off each other, so the charterers are familiar. Vampires, suspense & sex . What more can a girl want.

I've read all of the BLACK DAGGER BROTHERHOOD books, and I'm pretty sure this is my favorite one to date.  There are so many surprises in this, some good and some not so good, that I could not put it down!  Without giving away too much, lets just say - Layla, Xcor, and The Bastards story line made me cry and cheer.  Blay, Qhuinn, Layla and the babies storyline made me mad, sad, laugh and cry.  Trey's sadness..or wait!!..what???  Yep, this book is my favorite to date, and I'm so anxious for more of the BROTHERHOOD, 'cause, hang-on readers the ride is just getting better and better!

Have the first 4 books on Kindle, needed these next 4 books.  And will get the next four books when they are available.  Wife loves the series of "The Brotherhood", but don't tell anyone, but I enjoy reading them too.

Excellent story of fear, strength to overcome, redemption, and unexpected love. I can't wait to read the other stories about the rest of the brotherhood.

It was the story of Wrath and Beth that got me hooked on this series many books ago, so it is fitting that now that all of the Brothers have had their stories, J. R. Ward returns to Wrath and Beth. Theirs was the original love story, and it was beautiful to see how it developed. There is a nice tie in to Wrath's parents and his family history. As in the other books, some storylines are wrapped up but others are always open to future exploration, which just keep us wanting more. However, that bonding, respect, comraderie, and love that the brothers feel for each other and their shellans is here in full force, which is why I love these books!

The King re-energized my love for the Brotherhood and the Warden. Just enough material in the subplots to keep me interested and excited for the Shadows. Appreciate how strong you write Beth and Sola, as well as show the evolution of strength with the Chosen.

The black dagger brotherhood series continues to be one of the best reads I've ever experienced. You feel as if you know the characters as real people in your life.

Vampire lore is not my normal genre reading, but this was good. The story of the brotherhood has got me hooked. I am looking for ward to reading the next one in the series.

LOVE the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I look forward to the end of March or beginning of April every year when I know the next book will be available. J R Ward is a phenominal writer!

As with every Black Dagger Brotherhood book that hits the stands, I rush to buy it and then stay up day and night until "the end."

(Spoilers - you've been warned!)

Here are ten things I loved about this book.  There were many things I wasn't crazy about nonetheless, the story kept me engaged long enough to complete 608 pages of reading to earn a 4 star review.

Enjoy!

10.  just enough man on man sex to satiate the appetite but not too over-the-top to be a turn-off.

9.  a quintessential romance with plenty of edginess.

8.  loyalty and unconditional love -- the brothers always take care of their own.

7.  wrath's speech -- beware oh treacherous one.

6.  qhuinn to the rescue.

5.  wrath's revision of the ancient brotherhood laws.

4.  qhuinn's induction into the brotherhood.

3.  qhuinn's agonizing reveal about his feelings for blay.

2.  blay's parents.

1.  qhuinn and blay FINALLY living happily ever after.

What is it about JR Ward and her Black Dagger Brotherhood books? I can't stop reading them now that I'm hooked. Awesome writing, wonderful vampire world. The story absolutely brings them to life. I can't wait to dig into the next book in the series.

This book had all the characters that I have come to love in the Brotherhood, deep emotion, a HEA, and most importantly it had Rhage.  Loved this book.

I was drawn to the characters and did not want to put the book down. I can't wait to see what other adventures wait for the brotherhood.

Lover Mine is the story about John, and Xhex. Well sort of anyways. To me it felt like there wasn't enough of them. It seemed to be a whole lot more of stupid "Lesh" and others of the brotherhood. I loved John and Xhex together, and I really did like this book. I just wish there had been more of just them.

John is still upset about Xhex getting kidnapped, and the whole brotherhood is still searching for her. It's been weeks and most are already thinking she's dead... But John doesn't want to give up. He know's she's his female, and he just wants her back.

Xhex hates what she's been going through and she feels like there is no escape in sight. But the brotherhood finds her, and she manages to escape her hell for the past weeks. But things don't go so smoothly after that. She and John are having a semi relationship with her trying to push him away as well. Not only that but they still have to go after the jerk who took her to begin with. Through out the whole book I feel like we see too little of John and Xhex. But we do see some of Darious' past, and in the end we find out what all of those past times had to do with the story. Then there is also the stuff with the "ghost hunters." I have to say I actually hated that these two things were in the book. It really drove me nuts, and I got some what bored with it. But in the end it made sense, still frustrated me to have to deal with that. I am looking forward to the next book because of Phaine. I think she will be awesome, and I'm super excited about her story!

As an Odd Fellow myself i feel a great connection to the past. The golden years of the brotherhood. I being from South Jersey have a natural interest in the history of the philly lodge. This is not just a book its a beautiful window, into a time that i pray will return.

I've read all of the black dagger brotherhood, and I have loved them all.  They have made me laugh out loud and cry my eyes out.  They really touch you inside.

This book and the entire series is one of the best I have ever read. On par with J R Ward Brotherhood series. Hope it continues.
