Dark Lover by J R Ward

Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1)

by J. R. Ward

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...

Oh...my...goodness!
I am blown away! I absolutely LOVE the world J.R. Ward has made here.
The vampires are fantastic, the 'lessers' are a great enemy!

The language is fantastic, and you end up falling in love with these men (and women) very quickly!

The glossier at the beginning of the book is very handy, so you don't end up not knowing what on earth is going on.

I could not put this book down, and I've already started on the next one.

Wrath's story is... I wanted to cry more than once. The love scenes are just yum yum!

It's an all-around fantastic start to this very very long series of books - I am completely hooked!

It's been a long long time since I read a book where I was crying, smiling, laughing and also at the edge of my seat.

Well done to the Author!!
