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...

I love these books but it's a gruding and embarrassing love really. Something about it is addicting, I think it may be the fact that there is a lot of storyline, there is a background for the world and the characters, and some of the characters are awesome. But there are lot of things that make me cringe, like the over-exaggeration when it comes to the sheer size of these men. Okay they are like 7ft tall and bulky as hell, got it, but now they also have fangs that would fit in the mouth of a tiger?! I don't think so...he wouldn't look good or fearsome, he would look borderline stupid. Some of the characters seem a little forced here and there.
