In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly turf war going on between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brothers like no other - six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Yet none of them relishes killing their enemies more than Wrath, the leader of the Black Dagger Brotherhood...
The only purebred vampire left on the planet, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who murdered his parents centuries ago. But when one of his most trusted fighters is killed - orphaning a half-breed daughter unaware of her heritage or her fate - Wrath must usher the beautiful female into the world of the undead...
Racked by a restlessness in her body that wasn't there before, Beth Randall is helpless against the dangerously sexy man who comes to her at night with shadows in his eyes. His tales of brotherhood and blood frighten her. But his touch ignites a dawning hunger that threatens to consume them both...
Vampires listening to Rap? hmpf.
Lotsa people have been talking about this series and it did kinda live up to its name. I didn't think I'd like it so much specially with all the descriptions at the beginning of the book on the who and what of the Vamp world, but the book in itself was pretty good. And pretty funny also.
I loved the names of the brotherhood - specially with the very inventive spellings.
The fact that the brotherhood was either violent or extremely mushy was weird.
But the book in itself was a simple read. Simple. I cant think of another word to use for it.
I did like one if the lines in the book - Some bridges you crossed on your own, no matter who drove you to the edge

When I read this first book I enjoyed it, but didn't quite get the fuss. I still felt compelled to read more though. Are you planning to read the next books?
oh yes, i've read the first 5 books now and while the first one wasnt all so great the stories get really interesting as the books progress.
I read this book when it first cam e out and I didn't even know there was hype about it. I did enjoy the book and I guess I will have to check out the rest "just to see what all the hype is about" On another note I gave you an award stop by my blog to pick it up.
I liked this book. I thought is was good, fun and quick read.
BTW: I like your reviews. You get right to point...love that. :)
The books do get better as they progress
