Out of the entire Black Dagger Brotherhood series, this book is one of my favorites. At the end, I was satisfied and amazed. Possibly one specific part about the end was perfect, but this book was dazzling. Full of great imagery, hot scenes, good dialogue, and very believable characters. J.R. Ward improved on her writing style a great deal from the first and second books. The first book was great, while the second made me want to keep reading the entire series.
So, here’s a look at the book.
Within the Brotherhood, Rhage is the vampire with the strongest appetites. He’s the best fighter, the quickest to act on his impulses, and the most voracious lover—for inside him burns a ferocious curse cast by the Scribe Virgin. Owned by this dark side, Rhage fears the times when his inner dragon is unleashed, making him a danger to everyone around him.
Mary Luce, a survivor of many hardships, is unwittingly thrown into the vampire world and reliant on Rhage’s protection. With a life-threatening curse of her own, Mary is not looking for love. She lost her faith in miracles long ago. But when Rhage’s intense animal attraction turns into something more emotional, he knows that he must make Mary his alone. And while their enemies close in, Mary fights desperately to gain life eternal with the one she loves.
The book was amazing, need I say it again? My only other qualm is that the evil they are facing, (THOUGH THEY ARE VERY EVIL) is not the BEST I have ever read, because it seems to be sort of…a random enemy the author thought up to make it original (this is my opinion!)
Rhage is…for a lack of a better word, sexy. But he’s much more than that. With a face that kills, he also has a personality that will win your heart over with simply one word of his dialogue. This is something that is a must-read! It’s one of those books that always stay in your mind, even after you finish reading it because I know that when I start daydreaming, I think of the Black Dagger Brotherhood and all of their amazing stories. And on the hot and erotic scale, I'd give it a scorching score.
And here's a quote! (no spoilers)
Rhage let out a low purr, as if he’d sensed her arousal. She felt his tongue retract, and then her took her lower lips between his fangs. Those were fangs nipping at her flesh. Fear threaded through her passion and thickened it, adding a dangerous edge that opened her ever further. She put her hands on his arms. God, he was so hard, so strong. He’d be so heavy on top of her.
Much love,
Zane
