This book is hard for me to rate because it had a lot of things I love and hate. I was looking for a new unique paranormal romance series with a great romance, sex scenes, violence and all that good stuff. I found this book to definitely be unique. The author was even so kind as to include a glossary at the beginning which I recommend going ahead and reading before you even start the book because it definitely helps. In this series vampires are only born, and live off the blood of other vampires of the opposite sex. So to start there is of course the Black Dagger Brotherhood. A group of the strongest vampires that must defend their race against the lessers, soul-less humans that hunt them. I loved the idea of the brotherhood and each brother was very entertaining and loved their names, Wrath, Phury, Zsadist, Tohr, Rhage, Vishous. This book follows Wrath who must protect Darius's daughter, Beth. This is where I felt the romance and predictability came in. I knew Wrath would fall for Beth and fell kind of quick and without much story. They had some hot love scenes and I loved the action of him protecting her and helping her through the transition. Once again vampires are only born but they don't transition till their 20s. I loved Butch, the guy randomly thrown into Beth's life in a semi love triangle. I hate in love triangles when you love the other guy too so the author tries to work everything out by just throwing him another girl. I was glad that he will be continuing in the story because he was an awesome character that played well off Beth and the rest of the Brotherhood. I would have preferred to learn more about all the brothers but I guess this series focuses on one brother each book. I usually don't go for a series like that but I will give the next book a try because I would like to learn more about each brother. Not sure if I am a fan yet. I did like that this book follows different point of views. It switches from Beth, Wrath, Butch, Mr. X(The evil lesser), and Marissa & Havers. This book gave me the action, sex, and violence I was craving but lacked a little in the love story for me. Lover Eternal is next where I learn more about Rhage.
