4 Stars
Within the brotherhood, Rhage is the vampire with the strongest appetites. He’s the best fighter, the quickest to act on his impulses, and the most voracious lover—for inside him burns a ferocious curse cast by the Scribe Virgin. Possessed by this dark side, Rhage fears the times when his inner dragon is unleashed, making him a danger to everyone around him.
Mary Luce, a survivor of many hardships, is unwittingly thrown into the vampire world and reliant on Rhage’s protection. With a life-threatening curse of her own, Mary is not looking for love. Her faith in miracles was lost years ago. But when Rhage’s intense animal attraction turns into something more emotional, he knows that he must make Mary his alone. And while their enemies close in, Mary fights desperately to gain life eternal with the one she loves…
You see that 4 Stars? Yep, I must say..the second book was better than the first! I was afraid I was going to be reading this book for a couple of weeks like the first one but nope, half way through it really drew me in! I also have fallen in love with Rhage! I think I'm starting to see a pattern with these books, each one tells the story of a different Brother? I'm thinking that's how it'll be. In the first one we hear how Wrath, the Blind King, meets his shellan. In this one we read how Rhage finally falls in love-with a human!
Yes a human!! The forbidden! Thankfully after a few words his Brothers come to an understanding and let him bring the human to their home.
Mary is a simple lady living on her own. You start out learning that Mary has gone through chemo for her cancer and is currently in remission, until a couple of chapters in she starts to figure out the cancer is back. I won't tell you how she meets Rhage because that'll give away too much, but she meets him and her voice instantly soothes him.
Rhage is a Brother who sleeps with a different human every night even though he hates it. He only does it to keep the Beast that's inside of him at bay.
You will read all about their struggles to have a relationship. It's a great story.
I have read many reviews with people thinking Mary wasn't "good enough" for Rhage, with her having flaws on her body from her treatments and her being infertile. But honestly I think that just shows you can't help who you fall in love with! I also think it shows he's a great man for over looking all that and still loving her the way she is.
Ok, I'm getting off point. Rhage will be giving a big sacrifice at the end, a sacrifice so big that it had me in tears while reading it! Which makes you fall in love with him even more!!!
I get this feeling the next book will be more focused on Zsadist. Which I'm super excited about since he's the most quiet but VERY dangerous of the Brotherhood.
