As the vampire warriors defend their race against their slayers, one male’s loyalty to the Black Dagger Brotherhood will be tested in this breathtaking novel in J. R. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling paranormal romance series.
Caldwell, New York, has long been the battleground for the vampires and their enemies. It’s also where Rehvenge has staked out his turf as a drug lord and owner of a notorious nightclub that caters to the rich and heavily armed. His dangerous reputation is exactly why he’s approached to kill the leader of the Black Dagger Brotherhood—Wrath, the Blind King.
Rehvenge is used to living in the shadows and keeping his distance from the Brotherhood. As a symphath, his identity is a deadly secret—the revelation of which will result in his banishment. But as Rehvenge is pulled into plots both within and outside of the Brotherhood, he turns to the only source of light in his darkening world. Ehlena is a vampire untouched by the corruption that has its hold on him—and the only thing standing between Rehvenge and eternal destruction...
Lover Avenged is the book focussing on Rehvenge; drug dealer, pimp, and sympath. His love interest is Ehlena, a former member of the vampire aristocracy, whose family fell from grace and now takes care of her mentally ill father.
Lover Avenged has all of the elements that make a successful Black Dagger Brotherhood book, but in the end it didn't make me feel as much as the other books have done. I felt there was too much time spent on irrelevant points of view, and the book was unnecessarily long. I really liked Rehvenge and Ehlena together, and I wish they got to spend more time with each other than was shown in the book.
