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...

Not sure why I waited so long to read this! Maybe because I thought it was vampire erotica (its not)...Regardless, I'm glad I read it! There are lots of characters to introduce and a bit of world building in this book. I really liked the uniqueness of the world Ward has created. There is a bit of insta-love between Wrath and Beth and he does change his mind about her so many times it will give you whiplash. But, once he decides she is 'it' for him, things move CRAZY fast.
Overall, I loved the twists Ward has created in her vampire world and am curious to get to know the other brothers better.
