4 stars

First off I'm not a Paranormal fan at all. I've seen some awesome reviews and heard on some groups on Facebook that this is the series to read. So I thought lets try it. I really enjoyed this book and will continue with the series.

Took me a bit longer to read think it is because it is paranormal and paperback. I first had to get used to paperback because I haven't read a paperback in a year and a half! What did I miss? That I couldn't look up words like on my kindle and I couldn't hig ...more

Insta-love. Super doofy character names (I'm talking to you too, Butch!). Cheesy romance. Predictable plot. This book is a recipe for a complete disaster. But, I f'ing loved it. I pretty much now have a girl crush on J.R. Ward. I loved Wrath and Beth. I loved Butch and Marissa. I loved how the "lover spats" were quickly resolved and not drawn our for the majority of the book. I loved all of the brothers. I loved how the author didn't make me read about Mr. X for a bazillion pages at a time, when ...more

wish we could give half stars.. this is a solid 3.5 star

So.. I have been divided about the series… I have heard (read) a lot of praise and commendation for the brothers and then most importantly the author. On the other hand, the criticism was also prominent. I was truly torn.

I wasn’t tremendously impressed at the start. But warmed up to it towards the middle and loved it to the end. The brothers were loyal and intimidating and downright pure sex.. but I must say, I was expecting the sex to hav wish we could give half stars.. this is a solid 3.5 star

I wasn’t tremendously impressed at the start. But warmed up to it towards the middle and loved it to the end. The brothers were loyal and intimidating and downright pure sex.. but I must say, I was expecting the sex to have been hotter.

Beth.. Oh Beth… Unknown to her, she is a half human, half vampire and is in need of “protecting”. Her father (Darius, a brotherhood member), goes to Wrath to ask him for protection which he denies at first. I enjoyed Beth. I found her genuine, strong emotionally, loving, caring and the woman has the possibility of kicking your ass when needed.

But Wrath was incredible and he stole this book.. Wrath, the last purebred vampire, king and leader of the Brothers is sexy, muscled, tortured, protective, badass, and huge! Out of respect for his fallen brother, Wrath tries to fulfill his responsibility of taking care of Darius’s daughter through her transition. That’s when Wrath realizes that he cannot stay away from Beth, and his protective instinct and jealously is through the roof.

"Damn, leelan. I love you so much I'm scaring the crap out of myself." When she pressed her lips to his, he put his hand on her neck, holding her in place. "I don't think I can live without you."

My heart went out to him (view spoiler)

Side note : I find Zadist very complex and would definitely get to know about him.

Moving onto the next. ...more

So everyone on GoodReads (I’m sure almost everyone) has what I call the GRs best friend. The one who recommends something, and you pretty much add it because they recommended it. You talk books, share your favorites, and look for their reviews first.
Mine is Melanie, who loves a lot of different books and authors including our love Jennifer Armentrout. We love some paranormal. In particular, she recommended JR Ward (I admit a long time ago) and finally got this bad boy off my TBR list, and I can ...more

I will start off by saying I like to be the heroine in the stories I read. With that being said, I never felt I could 'get into' a vampire tale... Whooaa was I wrong.
J.R. Ward did an amazing job giving us just the right amount of every type of emotion on the planet. I even cried!! unheard of from me but, there were tears and goosebumps.. -_-
Im usually very critical with the fictional characters and end up tearing them apart, but every character in this story had a realistic, original quality.

I rarely ever (well, just about never...) take the time to review book but I just couldnt' help myself with this one. If you love a supernatural element and love reading about phenomenal love affairs and friendships with action threaded throughout then don't miss out on this one. I'm telling you that if you give it a chance you might as well put the rest of your life on hold cause this point has every element you'd want (love, heat, battle, inner turmoil and the uncontrollable urge to "just read ...more
