This book exceeded my expectations. I went in to it expecting it to be this fun, surface level little dark romance. What I got was a good romance story with a great plot and interesting characters. Ward took her vampire love story a step…

This paranormal romance is the first book in Ward's popular Black Dagger Brotherhood series. A unique take on vampire lore sets up a steamy novel with the vampires as the noble heroes rather than their usual role as villains.

I think this is exactly what it promises, a slightly ridiculous vampire romance with dark themes. I wouldn't say this was a dark romance though necessarily, at least not this book. I enjoyed the take on vampire lore. I have to mention the…

The Black Dagger Brotherhood is a series I have always been curious about, but never got around to reading. Admittedly, I have heard a lot about it and how good it is, but for one reason or another I hadn’t actually read any of the novels.…

Dnf @ 61% ""Come to my bed," he whispered in her ear." Creepy much? And no thanks, I'd rather not.

I never knew I was a vampire romance reader until this! J.R. Ward is basically writing a soap opera drama with vampires and a smidge more violence. :) Definitely a book I would re-read!!!

An amazing book to pull you into an even more amazing series. Instead of faceless, two dimensional characters, you meet a cast of butt kicking vampires you find yourself dying to know more about (no pun intended). Just the right balance…

The start to this series definitely has me hooked! I enjoyed the building of this setting and the solid mixture of characters. I will definitely be continuing to find out what happens to the other Black Dagger Brotherhood members and their…

Wow - I really enjoyed this book. What a great start to a great series. Story of Wrath (the blind king) and Beth (half vampire/half human). Steamy, sexy and overall exciting.

I love this series, just now reading the newest book from 2013 and can't get enough. It would make a great TV show. The stories & characters are awesome.

I love the series. Wrath is one of my favorite characters. The books only get better. I couldn't put book down once I started.

And the story was where exactly? It read like a thrown together mish-mash of different stories combined in one. For the simple purpose of name-dropping (to feel revelent) and silly-spelled vampire names (Phury, Rhage... Zsadist). The only…

Great book and somewhat addicting. I wish however that I hadn't read this book with high expectations. I am sure that I'll enjoy the series more and more as I continue on with the rest. Loved that the book had more meat than just a…

Y'know, I can't say I'm a big fan of the romance genre, and certainly not of vampire romance, but Ward has done a good job of making me reconsider my aversion. This isn't like Meyer's crapload of delayed-onset teenage hormones à la…

This is the first book of a 9 book series and the whole series is awesome. Though it very sexually explicit don't want you teenagers reading it.
