Dark Lover by J.R. WardMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dark Lover
This Review will probably contain spoilers, Readers BEWARE!!
This is the first book I have read of J R Ward. And in my opinion it was a pretty good book.
This is a paranormal romance novel that brushes the erotic category, but not quite much. Its the first book of The Black Dagger Brotherhood Series, which is basically about 5 warrior vampires who fight against the 'lessers' who are the vampire-killing-soulless species and how they find their 'shellan (mates).
This book is about Wrath who is the blind, short-tempered vampire community king and Beth, a small-time reporter, who later comes to know she is a half-vampire and her father was one of the brothers of the brotherhood before he was disintegrated by a bomb and how they come to trust and fall in love.
It had all the right combinations of hot guys, murder, mystery, romance and some sexy time between the protagonists.
It had the hot vampire Wrath with attitude problems, the sexy half-vampire Beth with her sassy attitude, the annoying 'lessers' who take up too much unnecessary space in the book, and the brotherhood of mismatched warriors who are walking disasters individually, but are pretty good as a team. And how Wrath and Beth bond over her 'transition' from human to vampire
Awesome!!
The book has a lot of side stories which are pretty interesting and give more substance to the book. Miss Ward did a brilliant job in developing the characters, with their proper back-stories and gave a lot of depth to all her characters.
It was written with all of the characters POVs which proved to be very interesting and informative. Miss Ward covered all her bases.
The only thing I really found annoying in this book was that, there was too much scenes of how the 'lesser leader' was plotting the the total annihilation of the brotherhood. I mean, this stuff came in the way of some pretty heady scenes. (view spoiler)
Apart from this, the book was good, and it's totally worth a read.
