 Sweetheart bad boy October 29, 2007

While I haven't read the other BDB books, I can safely say that Zsadist is probably my favourite brother. There's something so beautiful about him. Whether it be his tortured past, his closed-off attitude to avoid getting hurt again, his discovery of love, etc... all of Z just calls out to me, and it's not just because he's a tortured bad boy. It's... him. It's ridiculous, but I almost weeped when he felt his heart "hurt".
Z is my favourite sweetheart bad boy :)
 This Series Dares To Feel October 14, 2006

Book one, "Dark Lover", is released and I am intrigued. Book two, "Lover Beware", releases and I am breathless. But "Lover Awakened"...I am beyond stunned. J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood will always be a coveted group of books on my shelf. Her weaving of each brother's story is flawless. From the young vampire trainees to the astounding leading male, readers will feel every emotion, every struggle that each character faces.
Zsadist harbors, like all the brothers, a dark and tortured soul. In previous books he is touted as a vile man, accused of various crimes and potential ones. What lingers beneath the surface is a lost soul yearning for one that makes him complete--Zsadist just doesn't know it yet. Awakened begins where the previous installment left off, with the search for the missing Bella, a member of the glymera, their aristocracy. Zsadist feels a connection to the beautiful woman and his body is trying to tell him what his heart wants to deny. When he manages to extricate her from their enemies, the Lessers, he vows to destroy the one that took her. How he will manage to do this and keep the growing arousal she causes at bay, he isn't quite sure. And he will have to figure out if what he is fighting are indeed his body's needs or his heart's.
Zsadist's background--that of a blood slave--comes slamming to the forefront in "Lover Awakened". Since his release hundreds of years ago, he hasn't exactly been living life. Just as it seems he's almost become comfortable with the angst and tortured feelings, Bella enters and stirs his buried heart like no other has ever been able to--not even his real brother Phury. Their attraction is the most pulse pounding of the series to date and that's putting it mildly. Wrap that heart-wrenching plot around the evolving storylines of Butch, the human cop turned friend, Vishous, and now Bella's brother, Revhenge, and "Lover Awakened" easily becomes my favorite so far.
My few problems with the series are ones that will most likely be solved with later installments. The Lessening Society is still a very mild player, though the one called O was featured much more prominently than any of them had been before. I am still wondering though what in the world the two groups, or rather, their deities (Scribe Virgin for the vamps, The Omega for the lesser) have against one another. The lessers have great potential to be terrifying enemies, yet their role is significantly less than that of the Brothers. Thank goodness the Brothers and their females are so vivid. Despite the continued questions, it's an amazing entry into the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Stay tuned for what's in store for Butch as Vishous steps up the cop's honorary membership into the group. "Lover Revealed" hits shelves March of 2007.

This series of vampire novels is absolutely fantastic! JR Ward's writing is wonderful journey of imagination, erotiscm, pathos, love, hate, suspense..and is truly unique! Zadist's story is erotic,sensual and touching. The emotions are deep and you get pulled into the story. She holds nothing back in describing his life as a blood slave! As in real life, sometimes things happen that you wish do not happen. This story is fast-paced! The action is well-described. I love that you cannot predict what the bad guys are going to do and what The Brotherhood are going to do. The actions of all individuals are totally so unpredictable that when it happens - you can't believe it! I love the way she develops the love between the twin brothers, and how they discover that love for each other. I like that sometimes her characters are still flawed in the end of the book. I could not put this book down and even re-read chapters. The emotions evoked by her characters are utterly wrenching. It is very refreshing to read her books and find that there is not a 'cookie-cutter' ending. I look forward to many more of The Brotherhood books! I can't say enough good things about JR Ward's vampire books and style of writing! Except WOW! AMAZING! UNIQUE!...
