The Thief (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #16)

by J. R. Ward

New enemies rise and desire burns in the next thrilling novel of the New York Times bestselling paranormal romance series the Black Dagger Brotherhood.

Sola Morte, former cat burglar and safe-cracker, has given up her old life on the wrong side of the law. On the run from a drug lord's family, she is lying low far from Caldwell, keeping her nose clean and her beloved grandmother safe. Her heart, though, is back up north, with the only man who has ever gotten through her defenses: Assail, who never meant to fall in love - and certainly not with a human. But they have no future, and not just because she doesn't know he is a vampire, but because he is not about to stop dealing arms to the Black Dagger Brotherhood.

Fate, however, has other plans for them. When Assail falls into a coma and lingers on the verge of death, his cousins seek out Sola and beg her to give him a reason to live. The last thing she wants is a return to her past, but how can she leave him to die?

As a lethal new enemy of the vampires shows its face, Sola finds herself not only a target, but a mission-critical force in a war she doesn't understand. And when Assail's truth comes out, will she run from the horror . . . or follow her heart into the arms of the male who loves her more than life itself?

Reviews

[Linda]

The Thief was fantastic! Marisol definitely fit the bill as a strong female protagonist to a T, and I loved how she stood up for herself and her grandma.
Assail worried me. A lot.
And there were a lot of other things to worry me as well - off to the next book I go.

[Cocktails and Books]

I didn't start this one right away because I was scared about what this book meant for Vishous and Jane. But I discovered that while it may have started out looking really, really bad...Jane and Vishous just needed to learn to talk to each other. Once they did that, seems everything was fine.

Assail and Sola's storyline was good.

What kept me flipping the pages was Throe. Dude...what the hell is up with you? He's my new Lash and he's a little crazy and I think he's going to turn things up a few notches.

Can't wait to find out what the next book is.
