Wrath and his brothers (The Black Dagger Brotherhood) are not like Vampires of lore. Vampires in J.R. Ward's world do not feed off of humans unless they need to but rather off of each other, or more specifically the opposite sex in their race. Human blood is just a poor substitute that does not give them strength. They only need to feed every few weeks, to months, depending. They eat regular food and while they heal quickly and can live for centuries they can be mortally wounded by gunshots and other attacks. 
 So in this world of Ms. Ward's we have Vampires that seem rather normal compared to the Vampire lore we are use to. I loved this and it made it so much easier to connect and enjoy all the characters. 
 Beth, our heroine, was amazing. She is half human, half vamp and doesn't know it. When shitake starts hitting the fan she freaks a little as most women would but then she becomes strong, very strong, once the shock wears off. She isn't going to take crap from anyone and she is so sure of herself. She falls quickly for someone and doesn't second-guess those feelings for maybe more than a day. The love in this book is quick but done right. I could believe the instant attraction between them and I could believe the love they quickly found in each other. 
 Wrath, the big badass mother trucker, was so easy to fall for. He isolates himself because he feels tremendous guilt for actions out of his control centuries earlier. He is an Alpha male character, which I love. It was sweet to watch his transformation as his character grew and the love that he had inside him was amazing. 
 The supporting characters, both vampire and human alike, were well-rounded, intriguing and great comedic relief when needed. Every person in this book helped balance it out in some way. 
 This book hooked me, and I am eager to find out more about each of the other Brothers.
