A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood

By: J. R. Ward

Publisher's summary

J. R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood novels have introduced readers/listeners to a "different, creative, dark, violent, and flat-out amazing" (All About Romance) world.

Now, as the vampire warriors defend their race against their slayers, one male's loyalty to the Brotherhood will be tested - and his dangerous mixed blood revealed.

Rehvenge has always kept his distance from the Brotherhood - even though his sister is married to a member - for he harbors a deadly secret that could make him a huge liability in their war against the lessers. As plots within and outside of the Brotherhood threaten to reveal the truth about Rehvenge, he turns to the only source of light in his darkening world: Ehlena, a vampire untouched by the corruption that has its hold on him - and the only thing standing between him and eternal destruction.

Listen to another Black Dagger Brotherhood chiller.

Any additional comments?

My favorite book so far!

The lost brother

Revenge is the most interesting character, full of live and emotions. The brotherhood shows acceptance and Revenge shows that flows and mistakes can help rectify future actions. A moralistic story in the good and evil battle, full of sensuality and action.

Jam Packed!!!

So much happened in this book there is no way to give a full review on it without a bunch of spoilers. So all I'm going to say is 1st , always be prepared for the unexpected. 2nd, strong love can overcome any obstacle or misunderstanding. 3rd never be surprised by the loyalty of your friends. 4th you can do or overcome anything you set your will to and lastly JR Ward is an amazing author and this series is the bomb!!!!!!

Rev story!

Enjoyed Rev's story and his found love. Suspenseful ending. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Lover Avenged

Book 7 in the series continues the storyline of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, updating us on all the Brothers lives in the fight for justice in Caldwell, NY. This book introduces us to the love story between Rhev & Ehlena. This book was extremely long - like 75 chapters long! There is so much always going on in this world! I love it as much as I don’t. It can be all consuming and overwhelming at times before you get your sliver o f hope. I know the world they live in is dark, but would it be possible for the author to allow us some lighter moments for the characters? Their physical beatings in the everlasting battle with the lessers should be punishment enough without the extra torture snd self hatred you give them. Just saying. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lots of twists and turns

More revelation and change in this book than any of the others. Some of it made me angry. Some of it scared me. She is just a brilliant writer and I love her books. This series is one of my absolute favorites.

Lover Avenged...

When I first started this series, I loved each and every book I read (books 1 thru 5). Book 6 I didn't care for at all and now book 7, it's good, but I am getting burnt out on my BDB binge reading. The books are getting much more complex and more and more characters added in. I am finding it is harder and harder to keep track of who is who and what side they are on. This is still a very good book, but the series is losing its luster for me.

The author, J. R. Ward does a fantastic job on her stories with such a wild imagination. It is an adventure just keeping up with each book. The narrator, Jim Frangione does a fabulous job as always with his flawless delivery of these stories. I love and admire that the author sticks with the same narrator. This is a must! I also love how long the books are since audiobooks cost so much, I always look for the longer books! Bravo.

Awesome series!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely - just read the series in order... each book tends to build on the other.

What about Jim Frangione’s performance did you like?

Jim is great!

Any additional comments?

This is my absolute favorite series... I wait anxiously for each book to come out. It's sexy, action packed, the characters 'feel' real and the narrator takes you out of your life, and plants you in the book.... AWESOME!

great

revenge and zsadist are my fav books in the series. This book does a good job of bringing the king back into the mix too. Great story line and i cant wait to see what happens with john matthews and xhex

Guilt and Secrets

If you could sum up Lover Avenged in three words, what would they be?

Complicated, enticing and exciting. An intense story.

What did you like best about this story?

When Elena rescues Revenge and when she inherets the wealth from a thief.

Which character – as performed by Jim Frangione – was your favorite?

Revenge is my favorite in this book. He is very protective and guilty about who he is and yet he still allows himself to fall in love.

If you could take any character from Lover Avenged out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Rhage one of my favorite characters in this series. He learned how to love and take care of others. He loves to eat and appreciates all that he has and all that he has learned from Mary.

Any additional comments?

Another great series, but a serious ones. The author is thorough in her stories and characters. Once you start on this journey you will not be able to stay away. The story telling is very open minded.
