The ruthless and brilliant brother Vishous possesses a destructive curse and a frightening ability to see the future. As a member of the Brotherhood, he has no interest in love or emotion, only the battle with the Lessening Society. But when a mortal injury puts him in the care of a human surgeon, Dr. Jane Whitcomb compels him to reveal his inner pain and taste true pleasure for the first time-until a destiny he didn't choose takes him into a future that does not include her...
I couldn't put this book down! J.R. Ward had me drawn in within the first chapter. You meet Jane when she's just a young girl, and see she lives a secluded life. One night her and her little sister, Hannah, decide to play with a Ouija board. When she asks who will she marry the board answers "Vishous". That had me right there! I couldn't wait for them to meet and for her to realize that he was the man she was destined to marry!!
Vishous gets shot in the alley and is taken to a human hospital where Jane is his surgeon and saves his life. When he comes to the first thing he hears is her voice and he immediately is drawn to her like a bonded male. Which scares him since he's the most untrusting of the Brothers.
He then has his Brothers kidnap her when they come to evacuate him from the hospital.
At first Jane is scared but of course, she eventually falls in love.
Vishous later finds out he is the son of the none other-Scribe Virgin!!! And it turns out he is supposed to be the Primale. Thankfully things get worked out, but the worse happens...Jane is shot and killed.
I was totally happy with the book until the VERY end. The way J.R. Ward brings Jane back into the story is just weird and crazy! Didn't make any sense to me. But hey, Vishous is happy so I am happy! :)
So ready to start the next book!

Butch O'Neal is a fighter by nature. A hard living, ex-homicide cop, he's the only human ever to be allowed in the inner circle of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. And he wants to go even deeper into the vampire world to engage in the turf war with the lessers. He's got nothing to lose. His heart belongs to a female vampire, Marissa, an aristocratic beauty who's way out of his league. If he can't have her, then at least he can fight side by side with the Brothers... When Butch sacrifices himself to save a civilian vampire from the slayers, he falls prey to the darkest force in the war. Left for dead but found by a miracle, the Brotherhood calls on Marissa to bring him back, though even her love may not be enough to save him...
I think we all knew from book 1 Marissa and Butch were going to have a great romance. But honestly it makes me so sad. Knowing Vishous and Butch have such a great bromance together, and that Vishous is feeling the way he does about Butch now, that could've been a GREAT romance novel all by itself! Two Brothers from the Brotherhood together? Heck yes!!! But, like I said, it's Marissa that Butch ends with. In this book you will learn more about Butch's back ground, what the Omega has done to his body, his new power, and see him go through the transition! The transition?! YES! They turn him into a vampire! Of course that means he has vampire blood in him, and you'll be shocked when you find out who's bloodline he comes from!
This book was really a good one!! You start to learn more about Vishous as well and really start to feel for him.
I cannot say enough how much I recommend this series!!!

A former blood slave, the vampire Zsadist still bears the scars from a past filled with suffering and humiliation. Renowned for his unquenchable fury and sinister deeds, he is a savage feared by humans and vampires alike. Anger is his only companion and terror his only passion—until he rescues a beautiful female from the evil Lessening Society.
Bella is instantly entranced by the seething power Zsadist possesses. But even as their desire for each other begins to overtake them, Zsadist’s thirst for vengeance against Bella’s tormentors drives him to the brink of madness. Now Bella must help her lover overcome the wounds of his tortured past and find a future with her....
Finally!!! This book sucked me in from the very beginning til the very end! Zsadist has been the one Brother that I was most curious about since the first book and I was so happy to see that this book followed his story.
Zsadist was raised as a blood/sex slave and that past has haunted him his whole life. Made him dark, scary, and down right dangerous. Until he meets Bella. She finally starts cracking open Zsadist. Gets him to open up more. And eventually he falls in love with her.
It took me awhile to read the first book of the series and the second book was better, but this one is great!!! If you get stuck trying to read the first, don't give up!! It'll be worth it just to read this particular book! You will care for him and want to be the one there to help him.
Yes I know this was a short review, but I really want to not give away TOO much so it won't be ruined for you! I promise, it's a great read!
