Dark Lover by J.R. Ward was simply amazing. 
 I was looking for a new vampire book to fall in love with and that is exactly what I found in The Black Dagger Brotherhood. 
 Something I didn't like was all of the POV's. I can honestly say I didn't care about anything Mr. X had to say or what was going on in his life. Although it was helpful when it came to the Brotherhood's interaction with the lesser since we had backstory to who they were and what they did. No matter, I still didn't like it. But if that was the only negative thing I can come up with in an entire book.... That's pretty freaking awesome, right? Plus, some people might actually like all the filler that the other POV's provide. 
 This book broke my heart in, what I believe was, chapter 3 or 4. I was sitting there reading and didn't even realize how enthralled by the story I was until I started freaking out over what happened. My husband got a little freaked out by my sudden outburst... but come on, I've been married to him for six years so I'd say he should be well over the shock of who I become when I read. 
 I'd say this is undoubtedly going to become one of my favorite series'. This is definitely a favorite book so don't be surprised if in a few months I revisit Wrath and Beth's beginning. 
 Happy reading, friends.
