Lover Eternal: A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood

I just finished this second book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series and look forward to reading the third. Each of the characters in the series are unique in their skills in bed & in battles for love & life for their dying race. Rhage has a demon to battle but it's Mary in the end who slays his shame & brings them together by loving the savage beast within Rage. Their story plus the larger struggle against the lessers plus the preview of Zsadists story is more than enough to keep anyone's interest.

comes an even better review. Like I've said before, even though each Brother has his own book, the other Brothers are still a part of it, keeping their stories alive. One of the things I love most about the author is she isn't afraid to include a different spin on what beautiful and sexy can mean. The BDB is one of the best series I've ever read, and that's putting it lightly. Get to ordering, people. It won't disappoint, I promise you.

Ward had me captivated from the beginning of this novel. The mix of suspense, action, romance, and everyday life was fantastic. I appreciated the interconnectedness of the separate aspects of the story. I enjoyed how the characters are telling us this story, rather than an external, third person narrator. It made me feel as if I were really there rather than just reading about it. Ward’s descriptions paint this world in a vivid yet dark fashion, yet you can easily see the light shining through. Ward tops this story off with a fantastic cast of characters. Butch’s descriptions of the Brothers were priceless. You get to know them inside and out, in a very personal, bromance sort of way. I love the slang in the dialogue. Ward easily shows how the characters have adapted to the modern day, yet at the same time the odd slip into a past reminds readers just how old these vampires are. Ward has also come up with some great vampire names. They embody the characters’’ personalities while also being really cool names. The mix of vampires and humans, the old world and the new, was superb. I laughed & I cried, all the while caught up in the forward momentum of these character
