Not my Favorite but good Reader

Phury's book is not my favorite. but none the less it is well written, descriptive, and the narrator is great, I can't say enough about Jim Frangione's narration.

Second Time is a Charm

When I first read this Black Dagger Brotherhood book a few years back, I did not like it nearly as much as the others. Recently, I decided to LISTEN to it and BOY am I glad I did. The complexity of Phury's struggle, the number of events that transpire to evolve in future BDB books, Jim Frangione's excellent narration and feel for the brothers, the dramatic change in the whole Chosen system and the ultimate battle between good and evil are at their best in this book. I was not wild about Cormia (the female focus) but that's a small price to pay for such a rich and complex tale. No sense in going into great detail...it's a fabulous listen.

That ending though

I was so frustrated with this story... or with the characters rather but that ending had me taking an early break at work so I could have a little cry in the car. Excellent job. Excellent transition book from normal existence to the storm everyone knew was coming.

Love this Series

This is an addictive series. You get hooked very quickly and you don’t want to put this series down. Need to start and do this series in order. In this book we learn how one of the brothers deals with his addiction and how he learns the true meaning of love. Another character faces his past of sexual abuse. Several characters learn more about themselves. Plenty of action & suspense with twists and surprises and ???romance. Not the best book in the series but needed for character/storyline development. Enjoy narrator but in this book it seemed like another narrator dubbed in (seemed like another voice) for a sentence or two every now and then.

Fury is Infuriating

I love this series and this book has lots of pivotal information so you must read it. The problem Is Fury, I understand he is battling drugs and guilt but the strong man is the previous books is portrayed so whiny and woe is me. I was dreading when a section about Fury came up.

Phury, Cormia, Z, JM, Xhex, Rev., Quinn, & Blay

Phury, Cormia, Z, JM, Xhex, Rev., Quinn, & Blay: This story I know is hard for many to love. However, for me, this tale made me cry more than most. It’s true beauty, parallels between characters, and discussions of life and death (metaphorical and literal). Truly beautiful.

This one was slower

I don't know this one seemed slower to me. The ending was good though. Can't wait for the next.

This is my least favorite BDB book

Rating: ❤️❤️❤️.5
Heat Rating: 🔥🔥🔥
Narrator Performance: 🎧🎧🎧🎧

Worst BDB book! It made me hate Phury! I previously really liked him. He treats his brother so well. I could sorta handle The Wizard, but his downward spiral into addiction got to me. I mean the trigger is your brother’s happiness? Ugh!

The narrator gave his usual enjoyable performance. I just wish he had more diversity in the voices that he uses. I also prefer more acting in a performance than this narrator does.
