Rating 3/5

In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there’s a deadly war raging between vampires and their slayers. And there exists a secret band of brothers like no other - six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Possessed by a deadly beast, Rhage is the most dangerous of the Black Dagger Brotherhood...


Within the brotherhood, Rhage is the vampire with the strongest appetite. He's the best fighter, the quickest to act on his impulses, and the most voracious lover-for inside him burns a ferocious curse cast by the Scribe Virgin.


Possessed by this dark side, Rhage fears the times when his inner dragon is unleashed, making him a danger to everyone around him. When Mary Luce is unwittingly thrown into the vampire world, she must rely on Rhage's protection. Knowing that Mary feels the same intense animal attraction, Rhage must make her his alone...




Handsome Playboy with a dangerous beast meets dying woman and falls in love with her voice.
At the core, its kinda a typical love story only with a lot of vampiry twists thrown in.
That's all there is to this one.


And what was with that whole i-just-had-sex-with-another-woman-and-now-I'm-home-and-you're-angry-with-me-so-go-ahead-and-take-it-out-on-me-and-hell yeah-I'll-take-it-you-on-you-by-jumping-you routine?


i mean leukemia or not, good looking fella or not, he left you in his bedroom to screw someone else. Sex is not the answer to that question Mary.


Most of the story after that just got kinda boring


I did wonder how they were gonna get around the whole dying of Leukemia and cannot be together part. And Rhage's sacrifice made sense too. But then the whole eternal life together because she cant have kids came out of nowhere.

Did anyone else get annoyed at the number of times Rhage says her name in the course of conversation. I would be weirded out if my name was repeated at the beginning of every sentence.

It only got interesting with Bella getting abducted. So i know the next book will definitely be better than this one since it has Bella and Zsadist.

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
