There exists a secret band of brothers like no other - six vampire warriors, defenders of their race.

    <body><![CDATA[Epic. <br/>That's all I have to say about this novel. I'm gonna make this a short review.<br/><br/>When I first started to read it, I was a bit thrown off. Probably because J.R. is so creative she created a whole new idea to the word 'vampire' that there were terms that I didn't know, I was sligh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77530653">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If you can not only get past, but embrace characters with names like Wrath, Tohrment, Vishous, Rhage, Phury and Zsadist, then this vampire book might be right for you. It definitely falls under the category of &quot;guilty pleasures&quot; for me, but I can't deny that I found it hard to put down and...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8245975">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[What a great start for a series.  I kept reading rave reviews on this and had to see what it was all about.  I was pleasantly surprised that it lived up to it's expectations.  <br/><br/>Beth is a woman with vampire lineage and doesn't know it.

    <body><![CDATA[I liked it. Not a big fan of the paranormal genre and found it hard to think of the vampires in a hero's role. I may eventually seek out other books in the series but I haven't been sold on the genre by any means.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[So, I finished this a few days ago and have been putting off the review.  I guess it's because I didn't really love this book.  It was entertaining, and pretty funny, but mostly because I was laughing at the author's weird interjections of random slang and rap stars.  I mean, FUBAR, really!?

    <body><![CDATA[Different take on the vampire/human interaction.  Darker than many of the current paranormal series and pretty contrived names (Wrath/Rhage/Vishous, etc.) but entertaining story about a newly orphaned half-vampire who is reluctantly inducted into the close-knit community of the Black Dagger Brotherh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48186676">more...</a>]]></body>
