Product Description |

Best in the series so far |
I hate to admit it, but I had 13 year old fan girl moments in this book!
I absolutely adored Zsadist and Bella. What a stunning relationship.
This was the most enjoyable book of the series so far. |

I would rea it all over again.. |
|
Zsadist was just such a powerful vampire, but his past held him captive made him uneasy to be around, hard as stone, and very dangerous...until Bella made him feel worthy. This novel held everything..it was captivating, drama filled, griping, a tear jerker, and heartfelt...oh so touching(I felt like I was watching a TV movie). He was so sexy, thuggish, strong, a straight up ruffneck. I would read it all over again just to catch some of Z's world..the struggles...the pain..the tenderness...the awakening...the challenge of change.....the growth... the tears...the love. |

3rd book and stll going strong! |
|
J.R. Ward has got to be one of my new favorite authors. Her Black Dagger Brotherhood series is fast past, full of action and hot romance, and this third installment does not disappoint. This story revolves around Zsadist, a former blood slave, and the scariest memeber of the brotherhood. As he fights the Lessers to save and protect Bella, he begins to reawaken himself to feelings and sensations other than anger and pain. Loved it and can't wait to move on to the next one! |

Highlight of the series |
|
I don't see how JR Ward could top this book. Zsadist's story was absolutely fasinating. His history, his unpredictable actions, and his character growth. There was so much going on in this book, there was never a dull moment. I knew from Dark Lover that he was going to be the most intruiging of the guys. I loved this book...it will probably be my favorite. I can't wait to read about Phury though... |

Good story and family of characters, but because I wanted it to be over, I gave it 2.5 stars. |
I was surprised that I wanted it to be over, because I love the family of characters and the conflicts with the bad guys. I'm having a hard time trying to define what I would change. I was impatient with Z's actions. Bella loved him and wanted him, but he kept refusing her throughout almost the entire book. He told her she deserved better than he, and he did mean things to her to break things off between them. Finally she moved away. This frustrating romantic development was a little too drawn out for me.
I don't mind the author switching around among three different stories, as long as she finishes each scene before switching to another. Most of her scene switching was ok, but there were a few that annoyed me. Two of them follow. On page 118, O stabs himself, and then the author immediately goes to two other stories. Ten pages later the author returns to tell what happened to O after the stabbing. This happens again on page 310. Phury is shocked at Z's appearance and tries to tell Z what is different, but Z walks away. We don't learn what is different until eleven pages later.
Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scenes: nine. Setting: current day Caldwell, NY. Copyright: 2006. Genre: paranormal romantic suspense.
