Didn't love it, but didn't hate it either. 
 The writing was below standard from what I have come to expect from this talented author. The first half of the book the Brothers sounded like pre-teens in their dialogues. I mean, can you really see Wrath saying "Scurred"? Um, no. That is a little below the King of the entire vampire race. Another issue with the writing that I had was laziness. Yes, some of the writing was lazy. For instance; in many scenes throughout the book instead of each brother being named when flinging barbs back and forth readers get a "somebody". ""I'll hold him down for you," somebody tossed back." This is a series that I have been diligently following for years, these brothers have a part of me and many other readers and I think we deserve to have a little more then a somebody when it comes to them. 
 There were several emotional scenes that had me tearing up, and the outcome of some events surprised me. Another surprise was the extensive set-up for the BDB spin-off series. I didn't need all of the and think it should have been saved for that actual book since we all know Ms. Ward is not afraid of a large word count. A lot of threads were left hanging in the actual BDB story-line that could have been concluded in a better fashion if they received more page time, in my opinion. 
 Trez and iAm themselves were another surprise for me. As we really delved into their characters in The Shadows each brother ended up being very different then what I had expected from previous books. In fact, they seemed like totally different characters. I'm not sure if this is because I didn't pay much attention to them in the past because there weren't Brothers or this was just a glaring inconsistently in the series. Rhage, who had an over-abundance of page time, was another character that seemed to drastically change personalities in this book as well. I was beyond baffled by that. 
 I'll have to gather my thoughts more and come back for a full review.
