This series is one of my favorites! Vampires that are viewed differently from the norm, was simply brilliant!
Dark Lover~
This is the first of the eight in the series, and one of my personal favorites. Okay I’ll be honest, the whole series is pretty damn good. In fact it is by far one of the best series I have ever read. It all started with book one.
I love the whole concept of Vampires being more humanized then monsterized (I know it’s not a word, but I went with it anyway). It gives you an entirely different feel for the vision of vampire. Yet it still keeps the sex appeal of the creature.
I also loved the idea of running the books together, though keeping the main story rolling. It really helped seeing the characters from all angles, and gets you prepared and excited for the next book.
Starting with the Blind King, and Elizabeth. The last purebred vampire making a promise to protect his friend’s last living child. This book like all good stories start with you getting to know this world through a character who is experiencing it for the first time. Although, you see the book through the vampire’s eyes as well it made it feel kind of evenhanded.
Lover Eternal~
Now this book, the second in the series, was by far my favorite! I was captivated from the moment I opened the book to the very end! It took on a whole new twist but kept you up with the rest of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Which was refreshing to find a book that can do this so smoothly. Rhage a cursed vampire willing to keep his demon in order to save a human…seriously people you won’t be able to put it down until you find out what happens!!
Lover Awakened~
Holly crap my fellow book lovers!! Book three will be one you talk about for many years to come! Though I will admit it is a very hard read. Emotionally gripping, to the point of fall on tears down your cheeks. If you’re to proud to cry, you’ll still find it powerful and gut wrenching.
Even though she somewhat prepares you in the last two books, you’re not completely ready for what Zsadist and Bella’s story fully dishes out. (“The Black Dagger Brotherhood: An Insider’s Guide” gives you a more in depth look at the life they have together. And trust me after the way this book ends you’ll want to read it!!)
Lover Revealed~
This was actually not one of the better ones, in my personal opinion. Don’t get me wrong it was still a good read, kept me interested until the end, and got me pumped for the next one. But…I really expected more from it! From book one I was really excited to see Butch and Marissa’s story! Though by the end I honestly could have cared less if they were together or not. Stories of lovers who just can’t seem to get their stuff in gear bore me. It screams “Future break-up!!”, and when you set it up for something great don’t drag it through the mud first!
There is a difference between playful and daunting. This was daunting from the beginning! Though it does introduce Rehvenge more into the story, (who is my personal favorite; next to John Matthew of course!)
Take this book for your own ride, though don’t expect playful. Expect depressing, and a lot of cat and mouse! Which, like I said isn’t bad when done right.
Lover Unbound~
Oh, the story of Vishous! Again no amount of preparing will help aid you through this one. Though another hard read, it helps lift the mystery of the more shall we say talented brother. This really took me on a ride. From the history of his past to the love he finds in Doc Jane! I really can’t tell too much with out giving too much away. By this point if you haven’t read the series too much info demolishes huge surprises, that will floor you!! One surprise I didn’t even see coming that actually had me jumping off of the couch and calling my sister who had also been reading it at the time! It was down right crazy!!
I loved it, my readers!! Absolutely loved it!!!
Lover Enshrined~
Okay, I know I ripped Lover Revealed apart, but this one…guys I actually hated! You heard me HATED it! Once again you find yourself eager to read and instead find yourself disappointed. I did not like anything about Phury’s story. I don’t want to give to much away to those who haven’t read it, but come on J. R. Ward there really wasn’t any other way to take this? It really wasn’t the problems he faced it was the—random change in direction. Yeah, that is the best way to describe it. Change is good, but not random changes. It really confuses the story line and makes it seem thrown together.
On a good note, this books side stories are awesome. It had me itching to get my hands on the next book. And I wouldn’t suggest skipping this book because of those side stories. Although I won’t be surprised if you skip over the parts that holds Phury’s tale. Again I’m not being insensitive of his hardships (trust me I understand it completely) I just thought it could have been told better.
Lover Avenged~
I already admitted how I feel about Rehvenge, so you kind of know where I’m headed with this. I won’t keep you in suspense, this book ruled! Xhex another one of the favorites, is more introduced which was awesome. Starts to give you a better feel for her and her reaction to John. It also opens up the story in a whole new perspective, which is refreshing and gives you as a reader a chance to see a whole another side of this world Ward has created.
I also like how she reintroduces Wrath and Beth back in. It kind of gives you a full circle without rehashing the already read.
But I will say it pissed me off at the end only because I thought this was the end. But noooooo, there is a whole another one!! And I don’t get it until January!
If you know how I’m feeling then we can whine about it together, because I really wanted to know about Xhex and John!! Errrrrrr! That’s all I have to say about that!
Lover Mine~
I think that’s what this one is called. I don’t know for sure. But I do know I’m anxious for it to come out! I just hope she breaks the cycle of disappointing me!
