From 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.)

Customer Reviews

Reminded of why I like this series
I really enjoyed this installment. The last book was so boring and predictable, I'm happy to report that this one was not.
First there was alot of story about John--I love him so much. His story all around breaks my heart.
Second...there was no lesser story! I really needed a break from all their nonsense for a bit.
Third I liked V more than I thought, I like his history and his transformation. This book actually made me sad at one point. Crazy I know.
I also liked Jane more than any of the other women so far. She stood out the most to me.

What I didn't care for was the end. It was just a little stange. I knew Ward had to twist it around(like the other 4 books...) so that V and Jane were going to be together so I wasn't totally SHOCKED or anything.

And I seem to dislike Phury more and more...I thought his book should have been after Zsadist because he's wearing thin on me.
