Dark Lover by J.R. Ward

Dark Lover by J.R. Ward

In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly turf war going on between vampires and their slayers. There also exists a secret band of brothers like no other - six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Among them, none relishes killing their enemies more than Wrath, the leader of the Black Dagger Brotherhood...The only pure-bred 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... 


Hey! Here's my review.

This is the first book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series and is the first book I've read by this author. It was recommended to me and I'm so glad I picked it up. Great world building with a handy glossary at the beginning for all those made up words. Refreshing to read a book where the vampires don't need to hunt humans to survive - makes them more likable. A book full of leather wearing alpha male vampires with plenty of action and romance. This book is centred around a vampire called Wrath. Plan to read the next one soon.
