In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly turf war going on between vampires and their slayers. There also exists a secret band of brothers like no other - six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Among them, none relishes killing their enemies more than Wrath, the leader of the Black Dagger Brotherhood...The only pure-bred vampire left on the planet, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who murdered his parents centuries ago. But when one of his most trusted fighters is killed - orphaning a half-breed daughter unaware of her heritage or her fate - Wrath must usher the beautiful female into the world of the undead...Racked by a restlessness in her body that wasn't there before, Beth Randall is helpless against the dangerously sexy man who comes to her at night with shadows in his eyes. His tales of brotherhood and blood frighten her. But his touch ignites a dawning hunger that threatens to consume them both...
So, I loved this. I'm not really one for paranormal romance - in fact, my paranormal errs on the side of teen, if I'm being completely honest, but I was intrigued by JR Ward's books simply because there's a lot of her books at my local library. I figured why not start at the beginning and work my way through (little did I know that the Black Dagger Brotherhood books ALONE are like 15 or 16 so yelp) and I really loved this.
I loved the set up, I loved how all of the brothers are going to get a book, and I'm particularly intrigued by Zsadist's. I have no idea if I've spelt that correctly and I'm baffled as to why Wrath is the only one whose name *isn't* spelt different from the norm??? IDEK.
I loved the romance, and I just love how it's all set up to yes, follow new characters (or brothers), but to also still include those we've already met. I want more Wrath, more Beth, more Butch even(!) and Fritz! I WANT A FRITZ IN MY LIFE, PLEASE. He's just freaking adorable, man.
I'm so excited to get stuck into more from this series and see where the war with Mr X goes.
