  <default_description>In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly war raging between vampires and their slayers. And there exists a secret band of brothers like no other - six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Now, an ally of the Black Dagger Brotherhood will face the challenge of his life and the evil of the ages.

Butch O'Neal is a fighter by nature. A hard living, ex-homicide cop, he's the only human ever to be allowed in the inner circle of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. And he wants to go even deeper into the vampire world- to engage in the turf war with the lessers. He's got nothing to lose. His heart belongs to a female vampire, an aristocratic beauty who's way out of his league. If he can't have her, then at least he can fight side by side with the Brothers...

Fate curses him with the very thing he wants. When Butch sacrifices himself to save a civilian vampire from the slayers, he falls prey to the darkest force in the war. Left for dead, found by a miracle, the Brotherhood calls on Marissa to bring him back, though even her love may not be enough to save him...</default_description>

Because I'm a nit-picky beyotch and I had a feeling about this one, but also because “Butch” has always annoyed the crap out of me.  I hate nicknames like Butch.

    <body><![CDATA[Another great book from Ward.  No, not great--fantastic, and INSANELY absorbing.  I read all 600 or so pages in 1 sitting, with occasional snack breaks.  The BDB is the best series I've come across in a very long time.  This book was as good as its three predecessors, with some big surprises.

    <body><![CDATA['UNPUTDOWNABLE' !!! I can't get over this series! Ward knows how to write them, and she's turning into one of the best. Each character is unique, their own personalities, flaws and all, makes them appear incredibly real (even for vampires). The words Ward uses to describe each character works on so ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21608961">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another fantastic book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. <br/><br/>I was thrilled to get to read Butch and Marissa's story. I liked Butch back in book one and was thrilled when the Brotherhood took him in. It was good to find out more about his background, and what about that conversation at...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27273077">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[For me, Butch's book is where the series starts to nose dive.  I enjoyed the first two, loved Zsadist's, and then sort of felt like I had to put with Butch in order to get to the rest of the characters I liked.  <br/><br/>My problem with this book is mainly that I hate Marissa.

    <body><![CDATA[Wow.  I can never keep the titles straight, but I read Wrath's book (#1) and LOVED it.  Read books 2 (Rhage) &amp; 3 (Zsadist) and liked them both, but also got annoyed at some aspects of each story...mainly how the Brothers kept trying to deny their Bond with their female.
