"Highly Addictive Material...Beware!"
J. R. Ward has done it yet again. Her books are so
captivating, the seventh book in the series had you holding
on from the very beginning. The main focus of her series
has been to make each book about one single character, and
that was John Matthew. We have watched his character grow
from Lover Eternal to the brooding, sexy, warrior that he
is now in Lover Mine. Although John Matthew has one
disability and that's his being mute, he doesn't let it get
in the way as he joins forces with the Black Dagger
Brotherhood. In this latest installment John is still reeling from a
broken heart as the love of his life was kidnapped by a
known enemy, Lash. The war that is ragging in Caldwell, NY
is growing larger against the Lessoning Society, and not
knowing if Xhex is dead or alive John continues his search
and will not stop until he has killed Lash himself. With
his vampire nature unknown to himself and to those around
him, no one could guess what his true history was--or his
true identity. Xhex was well known as a symphath assassin, and has long
denied herself the attration she has to John Matthew.
Having already lost one lover (Murhder) to her true nature,
she will not let another male get involved in her twisted
life. Throughout the book the two discover that only fate
can decide when enough, is enough. As her character fights
to get free from Lash's evil hold, and she realizes that
after her whole struggle she just might walk out a
changed woman. The story is one of the best struggles with love in the
whole series as the two go back and forth with their
feelings and fight with themselves over past, present and
future. It also involves a ghost story with a character we
have yet to hear anything about. The one thing I find intriguing about all of her books is
the way she intertwines each character. If you were to take
the characters you want and pull just their stories out of
the plot you would have about six novellas to read. Her sex
scenes are sensual and classy. She leaves you wanting a
piece of the Brothers all for yourself. I definitely would
suggest anyone reading this book that is a paranormal
romance fan or even better, just starting out in the genre.
It is a world of Vampires worth knowing. Highly addictive
