This is the first book of Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I read the second one first by accident, but if I had read this one first instead, I probably wouldn't have realized what I had stumbled onto until I continued with the rest of the series. It's a great book, but not as good as the ones that follow; Wrath's okay, but he doesn't really move me. Same goes for Beth. I did really enjoy Butch's scenes with Marissa and his introduction to the Brothers. Actually, when I finished this book ...more

I knew I did the right thing when I bought this book. First of all, I was introduced by this series because I was accidentally craving for another vampire novel that has alpha males roles with no sparkling vampires related, and viola!...

I found the Black Dagger Brotherhood!!!

I love how Wrath the Blind King Vampire and Beth's relation in here, and I get to know the brothers as well. Love the emotions in this book... there are few books that actually made me laughed, cried and anxious and Black D ...more

February 2012 - Spending some quality time with the Brotherhood.

Started reading this series again March 2010. Felt the need to hang with the Black Dagger Brotherhood again. Love Wrath.

One of his “brother” ...more

Ah yes, I needed a bit of a reading pick me up in the middle of my Game of Thrones readathon and what better way than to revisit my BDB love? This series (especially the first few books) never get old. I haven't read The King yet (shocker, I know) but I have my reasons and am enjoying the re-read right now.

This series is one of the few that just inspires me to want to start writing again.

Until next time,
