I love being back in the BDB world and going back to Rhage and Mary who are one of my favorite couples in the BDB world. I love how loving and attentive Rhage can be towards Mary. He'll do anything for her. I also appreciated that in The Beast, Mary and Rhage have a much better communication than Wrath and Beth did in The King. 
 The BDB is a unique series. JR Ward has created a perfect combination of romance, action and intrigue. You know pretty much where the story is heading but there are always surprises. New characters have a way of popping out. This time we get Bitty. I thought she was a little standoffish at first but I was wrong. I loved her relationship with Rhage. They bonded from the very first time they hung out together. I guess it helps that Rhage does behave like a little kid at times. 
 The brotherhood keeps on expanding and I'm happy the mansion has so many rooms because, by the end of the series, there is going to be a small city living there. 
 Some of the side stories are still developing. Assail confuses me. He's still thinking about Marisol but is not doing anything to get her back. He does need to kick out the coke addiction. It's getting old. 
 Xcor and Layla, I'm frustrated, to say the least. She never did anything to help him. I was expecting some big scene about it. Xcor would do anything for her but I felt like she was too scared to open her mouth and reveal the truth about her feelings. 
 I wonder if Jo is heading to be Lassiter's HEA? We shall see... 
 Overall, this book reminded me why I fell in love with the BDB. It had all the right ingredients to keep my interest. Even the ending was sweet. 
 I'm glad she keeps on writing more books.
