The Black Dagger Brotherhood Series


There are currently ten books in The Black Dagger Brotherhood series which were written by J.R. Ward. The newest book Lover Reborn will be release March 27, 2012. This series is really amazing because each book focuses on a different person’s story. Even though each book focuses on a different person, the same characters appear in each book and you get to see them evolve and grow. Overall this series is full of action, sex, death, romance, hate, and more. I definitely recommend you check out this product I guarantee you will love these characters.  A great source for additional information on the books is J.R. Ward’s website http://www.jrward.com/bdb/index.htm. For example, Wrath is character in which the first book focuses on but he appears in all of the other nine books as well. The Black Dagger Brothers are:

·        “Wrath is the last purebred vampire on the planet and the vampire race's king. Essentially blind, he is the leader who is not willing to lead until he is forced to care for a half-breed he falls in love with”.  I love Wrath’s character because he is pretty much a badass with some major issues in his past that have always haunted him.

·        Rhage: the strongest of the brothers and the best fighter. Cursed by the Scribe Virgin, he is possessed by a dark side which is a danger to everyone. Ultimately, though, he is gentled by a very special human woman”. Rhage is hilarious! His nickname is Hollywood because he is always such a smartass and acts like he’s a movie star.


·        “Zsadist: the most lethal of the brothers. A former blood slave who was mercilessly tortured during the first hundred years of his life, Z is the one who has fallen farthest from grace. But he is utterly worthy of redemption”. Z’s story was one of my favorites. The other books portray him as quiet and deadly with an evil quality to him. It was really cool seeing things from his point of view and getting to know why he is that way.

·        “Phury: the loyal one, the one who sacrifices himself for others. Phury is Zsadist's twin brother and a celibate who cannot truly live because of everything his biological brother has lost. Used to giving rather than receiving, he needs love coming back at him to bring him alive”. Phury’s story was probably my least favorite because there were times when I just wanted to slap him and tell him to “Man up!”.


·        “Vishous: the most intelligent and the one who is specially gifted. His curse is his ability to prognosticate: he sees the future, though not the 'when' of events so he is tortured by his inability to save those he loves from danger. His love puts him at odds with a secret about himself he did not know and could never have guessed”. Vishous is another character with a lot of dark secrets and pain in the past.

·        “Tohrment: the steady one, the calm one. He is the one whose betrayal by fate will cut the deepest”. Tohrment is not in many of the series because of a major event that makes him lose faith in himself.
