I completely forgot how good the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series by J.R Ward is!!
Perhaps that is because she writes soooo slow.. one a year isnt enough!
Lucky me managed to get a hold of book 7: Lover Avenged thanks to a great customer of mine at work. She is crazy for paranormal stuff and totally digs J.R Ward. Lover Avenged doesn’t even have a release date in Australia yet, but she was so impatient she went and ordered it from Amazon, which im totally fine with as she then loaned it out to me.
And amazing it was! The last few previous to this one hadn’t reached the standard that Lover Avenged has!
Ward has strayed away from the rest of the Brotherhood, Phury being the last of the brothers to have his story released on book 6 where he finds Cormia. I honestly thought book 7 would follow John Matthew’s story but instead Ward chose the path of the sympath Rehevenge.
Rehevenge is the red lights district pimp/dealer/club owner in Caldwell. Zero Sum, his hang out is the hang out for mounds of humans and alot of the Brotherhood in the VIP section.
During the previous books, Revhenge was always portrayed at a very bad guy. Sympath’s are not allowed to roam free in the human world as other vampires do, and anyone who discovers a sympath must report it to Wrath so that he can have the sympath deported to the colony up north just before the Canadian border.
Sympaths are very evil creatures, they thrive on inflicting pain and misery on other, both physically and mentally. Alot of them use pain to succumb themselves from lashing out. Revhenge uses large amounts of Dopamine to calm himself, but the side effects are just as painful. Xhex, Zero Sum’s main bodyguard uses pain release, in the form of spike strips tightly belted to her thighs to calm her sympath urges.
After Revhenge is approached by one of the glycemia to kill Wrath, has they feel that the king, and his Brotherhood have not being doing enough to help the gycemia since the countless house raids by the Omega-ran Lessers. Someone out there knows Revhenges secret, and has threatened to expose him which is not an option for him.
Wrath is also have his own troubles, his vision getting increasingly worse by the day, as is his need to fight again with the brotherhood he begins to take on the Lessers without backup or approval from the brothers. He does not want to be king but as he is the last pure blood vampire he was handed the task without question.
This book is a must-read! But before you dive into this one, make sure you read the previous 6 in order!
