Product Description:
In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly turf war going on between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brothers like no other-six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Yet none of them relishes killing more than Wrath, the leader of The Black Dagger Brotherhood.
The only purebred vampire left on earth, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who murdered his parents centuries ago. But, when one of his most trusted fighters is killed-leaving his half-breed daughter unaware of his existence or her fate-Wrath must usher her into the world of the undead-a world of sensuality beyond her wildest dreams.

A bit more worn than what I was expecting from the description, but otherwise fine. Thanks.

I have been waiting to do these books for awhile. And what better time to slip underneath the covers with some hot-blooded manly vamps, that the onset of winter? Welcome cold weather, and welcome Black Dagger Brotherhood. Hello, boys!
J.R. Ward, while I wasn't impressed with her new series, (see Covet review) the Black Dagger Brotherhood is a totally different beast entirely. The first book, Dark Lover introduces us to Ward's world. A world that features vamps as a completely different species than humans, who never lived as humans, but instead walk amongst us, but not a part of our world. They have their own world, with their own doctors, their own religion and their own set of rules. Wrath is the negligent ruler of that world. The only purebred vamp on the planet, Wrath would rather fight, kill and seek revenge than rule his species.
There are only a few souls that can get underneath Wrath's defenses and one of those is his fellow Black Dagger Brother Darius. Darius' dying wish is for Wrath to look after his daughter, welcome her into the world of the vampires if she is to become one, and protect her.
Beth is Darius' daughter, raised without knowing her father, she has no idea there is this other world that she will be very connected to soon. She starts notices changes within her body and is unsure about what is occurring, and how to deal with it. She also doesn't know how to deal with the huge, hot and sexy Wrath that seems to be in her every waking thought. When she does find out what is happening to her and just what she might lose by this transition, - her life - Beth's world gets torn asunder...and an unlikely lover might just be there to put the pieces back together.
Sexy, fun and gritty. Paranormal Romance fans should love the Black Dagger Brotherhood's debut novel. There are a few parts hard to deal with - Ward's tendency to switch POVs can be very confusing. Ward also likes her men really really big and really really virile - so sometimes the testosterone can be a bit too much. Other than that, these books are great and worth the time and the read.

I was really cautious about buying a book online. Especially since I've never heard of the book before my best friend recommended it to me. The condition I received my book was beyond my expectations. It was practically brand new and I received it before the estimated shipping. I would recommend this seller for any future books that you would like to purchase. This has been my first amazon experience and it was the best; so I will be recommending it to friends and family. Thank you again

Very bad writing,cliched romance book,grown men talk like teenage girls("I outie")
If you're in the mood for a trashy romance book than this is the perfect read but if you are a sci/fi fantasy book reader skip this sophomoric nauseating drivel.

Oh my.... this book is incredible! I didn't think I'd ever find something that could rival my Sookie books but I've found it in this first book in the series. At first I didn't even know if I'd like it because the names of the vamps kind of threw me off but then I thought about it. They're vampires and it's something different. Now, I LOVE IT! I also really liked the way the author described things. The one that stands out is her describing one of the vamps abs as having paint rollers under his skin. Sounds kind of corney but hey, you can picture it perfectly can't you? Everything you could ever want in a paranormal romance is right here. There's action and blood, there's romance and steamy love scenes and the part I love the most... the humor. The way that all of the vamps in "the brotherhood" interact with each other completely made the book for me. You could tell by the way that the author wrote it that these "men" are a family and when it comes down to it, would do anything for each other. It was just fantastic and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book in the series.
