Lassiter

By: J.R. Ward

Narrated by: Jim Frangione

The next book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward follows a fallen angel who finds love with a mysterious female—who could be his destiny...or the embodiment of his utter destruction.

Lassiter, the fallen angel, is a little too good at the savior business. In his new role overseeing the fates of all vampires, he’s influenced outcomes he shouldn’t have, so the Creator is calling him home. But Lassiter has a reason to stay in Caldwell. He’s bonded with a mysterious female named Rahvyn who seemed to appear from out of nowhere…and has powers that defy all reason.

Rahvyn understands she doesn’t belong in the present—her true place is in the past. Lassiter proves to be undeniable, however, and she lets herself fall for him—until a secret he’s been keeping comes to light and she fears that for the angel, it’s not about love, but duty.

As the Omega’s son reestablishes the Lessening Society, and the Brotherhood must resume the deadly war, an unfathomable tragedy occurs. In the aftermath, Rahvyn must decide whether to stay and help—or save herself from an immortal heartbreak she knows will crush her very soul.

Critic reviews

"Frangione embodies all the emotions Lassiter feels — from despair when he thinks that he and Rahvyn must be separated to joy when they are reunited. Frangione masterfully provides a deep masculine voice for the vampire fighters and is equally adept at the female characters. Threatening the vampires is the demon Devina and her lover, Lash, and Frangione makes them sound appropriately menacing."

As always. I love Jim's narration. The book was great in some parts and okay in others. The reason for the time jump left me confused. Why? Ok for Rayven but not for Wrath??? Reread twice. Still confused. Why over 30 year jump? I realize. Nilla's story is next and JR wants to continue with the kids, but it was weird. I will continue to read everything JR writes. but not her best.

Not what I expected but not bad

I was expecting a little more about Lassiter but I think that is in the Fallen Angel series. I am confused on the conclusion of the story. We lost 30 years of information. It left me wondering what the H…. I just don’t get it.

Wow, Just Wow

J. R. Ward and the indispensable Jim Frangione are back to give you the reading and listening experience you've been waiting for. Finally, we have Lassiter's story. You will be angry, frustrated, intrigued, saddened, relieved, and thrilled. It ends with a huge emotional bang that makes this emotional roller coaster ride so worth it. Thank you, Ms. Ward and Mr. Frangione for giving life to our beloved BDB characters and providing such joy for your followers. I needed this book.

Interesting ending

I was shocked with the ending. I followed the story from the beginning. Would be interesting to see how it continues

OMG

I'm just grateful for the epilog. When that twist came with Fritz I felt hurt, sad and disappointed. I'm thinking why would JR Ward do this to my emotions especially since I've held out hope since book one of a miraculous return of Darius. 20 books later and you sent one of my favorites unto the fade, I had to stop listening for a while. You had me till the end. As usual excellent writing, Jim Frangione great performance as usual.
