New York Times best-selling author J. R. Ward has blown away fans with layered, titillating tales of sexy vampires and supernatural intrigue. Here, the son of a Bloodletter falls into the care—and possibly the arms—of a mortal surgeon.
"The series [has] earned Ward an Anne Rice -style following, deservedly so."—Publishers Weekly
The newest in Ward's ferociously popular Black Dagger Brotherhood series bears all the marks of a polished storyteller completely at home in her world. Vishous, son of the Bloodletter, is a cunning, stone-hearted vampire warrior devoted to killing the wicked, undead vampire slayers known as the Lessers; after an ill-fated visit to a hospital, Vishous falls instantly and unexpectedly in love with a human surgeon, Dr. Jane Whitcomb. Soon, Vishous has brought the unwitting human back to the Brotherhood lair, where she returns his feelings, opening up a potentially cataclysmic conflict-Vishous is, against his will, destined to become the Primale, a warrior with multiple vampire wives who's meant to ensure the survival of the species. Ward has by now become an expert at fleshing out the stories of her supporting characters-each with his or her own novel-without overpowering the central story, and while the romance between Vishous and Whitcomb is genre-typical, Ward isn't afraid to break with convention in challenging, gratifying ways. Though not recommended for newcomers to Ward's universe or romance traditionalists, this fix will give Brotherhood addicts a powerful rush. (Oct.)

November 23, 2009: The story of Vishous. This is a good book. I liked reading his story. He is not a "kind or loving" vampire, but has falling in love with a human doctor. Their story is different from the others, "V" is not the normal loving, caring brother. Jane the doctor he falls in love with has baggage from her past that makes her a fine suit for V. I liked the story and will read on.

November 15, 2009: The is Book is totally hot! THe Characters are well developed and I would have read this series even if there was no romance in it. The romantic hookups in the series read more as erotica then the novels I am use to reading, however, the charcaters and plot make up for this flaw. I would like to see the offer post an internet wewebsite instead of yahoo group.
