< ★★★★★ >
Rating: 5/5

#1. LOVER AWAKENED
ZSADIST AND BELLA'S STORY


From Dark Lover, Zsadist already caught my attention. He was described as the scarred-faced, soulles brother who you should run away from or else  will tear you apart. I was intruiged. So my curiosity in unravelling the secrets behind Zsadist scarred face and his pain drove me into buying this book the same day i finished Lover Eternal.

Zsadist story was just heartbreaking. I mean the whole story was just. He was a slave in the past, and those memories keeps haunting him. It always comes back to him. He built this wall  sorrounding him, avoiding the warmth of other people. Showing only anger and his fascination in killing.
Bella was attracted to Zsadist from the very first time she met him. But Zsadist treated her coldly and tried to scare her away.

When Bella was kidnapped, Zsadist was the most restless.  In the story, it showed how  he cleaned up her house after she was taken, and went through her things, thinking about her. When they finally found her, he took care of her. He showed his soft side he never showed  to anyone. I was touched, like i wanted to cry when he sang to her when she was in pain. This soulles, scary, fearless warrior humming, singing to ease her pain.
He's obviously inlove with her. Willing to do everything for her.But his past was getting in the way. Loathing his own skin, he feels dirty, unworthy of her. Him driving her away.

I was totally satisfied with Lover Awakened. I fell in love with Zsadist. His heartbreaks and struggles to make things right, away from Bella. And i loved the ending. I didn't feel it was rushed. It took a while for Zsadist to accept himself. I felt  myself smile when he brought the piece of paper to Bella. At the same time, you will also be filled with the side stories(except for the lessers, i find myself just scanning the story) I would totally recommend this book!

The Black Dagger Brotherhood: Lover Eternal and Quotes


#2. LOVER ETERNAL
RHAGE AND MARY'S STORY

This story is somewhat special for me. Because the female character, Mary, is suffering from an illness that not a lot of people survive in the real world. So i really got emotional reading what she was suffering, the fear, the pain, of having the illness.
Rhage aka Hollywood aka HAL E. WOOD, thanks to the Scribe Virgin has a beast inside him, which when unleashed, becomes a danger to anyone around him.
The wanted each other so much but the fear of each other's beast gets in the way.

Black Dagger Brotherhood by J. R. Ward

Adult Fiction
(Moat o my TUMBLR followers are BDB Lovers!. Starting from now i'll post about the other books were i get the quotes from. I'll start with the Brothers. I've finished reading all of it except for Lover Unleashed( still waiting for the mass paperback edition).


ENJOY READING

I'll start this by saying that this book got me into reading Adult paranormal Romance. The Brothers are just captivating .
The glossary at the first pages of the book is really helpful. J. R. Ward created these new words or terms which really fits in the characters and the novel.
This is a really great book because there is action, romance and politics.
What i liked about BDB is how J. R. Ward described each Brothers and their personalities. They seem like normal people who likes rap music, cars and women except they are vampires who loves guns, daggers and knives that they shove into their enemies. I also love the exchange of humurous lines between the brothers either theyre pissing each other off of just making fun of each other which makes me smile.

This is a fast-paced novel with all the things that was going on with the story. The fights between the lessers, the steaming hot scenes between the Brothers and their mates the lives inside the mansion between the brothers and the point of views coming from the lessers.

So right now i'm addicted to the Brothers! Can't get enough of them.

In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly turf war going on between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brothers like no other-six vampire warriors, defenders of their race.

#1. Dark Lover - Wrath

Yet none of them relishes killing more than Wrath, the leader of The Black Dagger Brotherhood.

The only purebred vampire left on earth, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who murdered his parents centuries ago. But, when one of his most trusted fighters is killed-leaving his half-breed daughter unaware of his existence or her fate-Wrath must usher her into the world of the undead-a world of sensuality beyond her wildest dreams.




#2. Lover Eternal - Rhage
Possessed by a deadly beast Rhage is the most dangerous of the Black Dagger Brotherhood.

Within the brotherhood, Rhage is the vampire with the strongest appetites. He's the best fighter, the quickest to act on his impulses, and the most voracious lover-for inside him burns ferocious curse cast by the Scribe Virgin. Owned by this dark side, Rhage fears the time when his inner dragon is unleashed, making him a danger to everyone around him.

Mary Luce, a survivor of many hardships is unwittingly thrown into the vampire world and reliant to Rhage's protection. With a life-threatening curse of her own, Mary is not looking for love. She lost her faith in miracles years ago. But when Rhage's intense animal attraction turns into something more emotional, he knows that he must make Mary his alone. And while their enemies close in, Mary fights desperately to gain life eternal with the one she loves...


#3. Lover Awakened - Zsadist
Deeply scarred without and within, vampire warrior Zsadist believes that he is unworthy of either compassion or true love. One night a glimmer of hope crosses his path, embodied in the young civilian Bella; yet, true to form, he pushes her away. But when the enemy of their race kidnaps Bella, Zsadist can't rest until he finds her, and once he does, he faces his biggest threat to date as fate grants him one last chance at peace. Ward spins her take on Beauty and the Beast into a raw, gritty tour de force, creating an array of ugliness and beauty, pain and pleasure in a tale that sparks enough plot stunners to keep readers fascinated for years to come. Not for the faint of heart--strong sexuality and stronger language rule here--this genre-bending third novel in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, following Lover Eternal (2006), is a perfect fit for those who like fast-paced urban fantasy rich in both fury and poignancy.



#4. Lover Revealed - Butch/Brian O'neil

We're back in Caldwell, New York, home of the Dark Brotherhood, but this time the focus is not on one of J. R. Ward's irresistible big bad vampires but on Butch, the only human allowed in the inner circle. An ex-homicide cop with a number of issues, Butch fell in with the Brotherhood through a bizarre series of events. He has what seems to be a hopeless love for the elegant, aristocratic Marissa, the only unmated female in the glymera, or vampire aristocracy. When Butch goes down in a fight, the lessers try to use him as their own Trojan horse, implanting a piece of evil in his belly, but he is saved by Marissa. The heart of the book is the love story between Marissa and Butch, and the transformation each undergoes, but Ward also offers other characters to follow -- in particular, the ongoing secondary story of the adolescent John. Ginger Curwen.



#5. Lover Unbound - Vishous

The ruthless and brilliant brother Vishous possesses a destructive curse and a frightening ability to see the future. As a member of the Brotherhood, he has no interest in love or emotion, only the battle with the Lessening Society. But when a mortal injury puts him in the care of a human surgeon, Dr. Jane Whitcomb compels him to reveal his inner pain and taste true pleasure for the first time-until a destiny he didn't choose takes him into a future that does not include her...



#6. Lover Enshrined - Phury


As Primale of the Chosen, the fiercely loyal Phury has sacrificed himself for the good of his race. But his first mate, the Chosen Cormia, wants not only his body but his heart for herself. As tragedy looms over the Brotherhood's mansion, Phury must decide between duty and love…













#7. Lover Avenged - Rehvenge


Rehvenge is used to living in the shadows and dealing with the roughest night walkers around-including the Black Dagger Brotherhood. As his secret identity as a sympath is threatened, he turns to the only light in his ever darkening world- a female vampire untouched by corruption, who's the only thing standing between him and eternal damnation.









#8 Lover Mine - Tehrror (John Mathew/Darius)

Darius, a fallen Brother, has returned to the fold with a new identity and a very different destiny. Now, John Matthew, plunged into the heart of war, must face off against evil incarnate-and rescue his one true love.

















#9. Lover Unleashed - Payne


Payne, twin sister of Vishous, is cut from the same dark, seductive cloth as her brother. Imprisoned for eons by their mother, the Scribe Virgin, she finally frees herself-only to face a devastating injury. Manuel Manello, M.D., is drafted by the Brotherhood to save her as only he can-but when the human surgeon and the vampire warrior meet, their two worlds collide in the face of their undeniable passion. With so much working against them, can love prove stronger than the birthright and the biology that separates them?
