Wow, there are no words to describe how much I loved this book!
I've been interested in reading Zsadist's story ever since I saw a bit of his POV in Lover Eternal (which I did not review). But I never expected to like him as much as I did. Or rather... love him as much as I did.
Lover Awakened tells the story of Zsadist and Bella.

Zsadist is a member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood - a secret branch within the vampire society that includes only the strongest and fiercest vampires and protects the rest of them from their sworn enemies, the Lessers, humans without souls.
I fell for Zsadist almost instantly. He's a scarred worrier, outside and especially inside, filled with self hatred and self loathing and he is self depriving. To the rest of the world he looks like a soulless, mad, dangerous creatures. Something ruined, not broken...
