Critic reviews

"Erotic paranormals are ... frighteningly addictive." ( Publisher's Weekly)

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

My favorite line: I love you forever didn’t always need to be spoken to be understood.

Phury and Cormia actually stole my heart a little…..and after the last book and what happened to Vishous and Jane, I was prepared to not love Phury’s story. I still don’t like the whole “chosen” storyline…..but THAT improved so much toward the end of this book. And the last few pages really had my heart in my throat.

The narration of these books is exceptional story telling. JR Ward’s intentional sarcastic humor is always a joy. As much as I haven’t enjoyed the last couple of books as much as the first few, I’m still enthralled with the series and am looking forward to the next one.

Really Love These Books!

The Black Dagger Brotherhood series is very addictive reading! Once you've read one, you'll be clamoring to read the next. But be forewarned, these aren't your regular run of the mill romances. These books are darkly emotional and explicitly sexual.

Like all of the other books in this series, several storylines are developed. We get introduced to a new Lesser, Mr. D, and follow him as he does the work of The Omega in a most surprising way. We also learn more about Rehvenge, a preview of his story in book 7. Newly transitioned John Matthew and his buddies are also followed. I'm very invested in this storyline. I really liked following the story of these guys from their pre-trans stage to post-trans. And I'm so looking forward to their stories as they become warriors and also fall in love.

I have noticed that some people have been disappointed with the love story between Phury and Cormia. I have to disagree. The romance between them was satisfying. The book may not have spent as much time on them as the other pairings were in previous books, but their romance develops slowly, romantically. Their story is just as emotionally charged as the others. By the end of the book, you are aching for them to get together.

A note to those who are thinking of starting this series in the middle: To really appreciate this series, I recommend starting from the beginning and reading the books in order. (Dark Lover, Lover Eternal, Lover Awakened, Lover Revealed, Lover Unbound, Lover Enshrined, Lover Avenged) My personal favorites are Lover Eternal and Lover Awakened, but all of them are great.

I love JR Ward

I have loved the Blackdagger Brotherhood since the 1st time I read Dark Lover the first book in the series. This is the 6th book in the series and I've never been a huge fan of Phury however this is a must read (or listen) because of all the important information about other characters in the series. These books are very well written and are not a typical romance! They have an amazing storyline and I have enjoyed being able to listen to them. I hope Audible will make book #5 available soon and book 1# is being made right now so I hope they include that as well!

Great Title

Awsome book by an awsome Author. This audiobook is actually 6th in the Series, the first being Dark Lover also available in Audible. This series follows the lives of the Black Dagger Brotherhood which is a group of vampires that protects the vampire race. Different world of vampires but awsome to break the Anne Rice view.

Story was good

The recording and editing was poor. Lots of chop jobs and edits that were voiced different and inserted without care for the sounds. Also the pronunciation for words in the series changed so after listening to the first couple books in the series suddenly words changed.

Great story

I loved Z's story. I like that he and Phury continue in this book. The story of the brotherhood in this series is just as good as the romance.
