Black Dagger Brotherhood Series (#4-6) Mini Reviews

Title: Lover Revealed (Black Dagger Brotherhood #4)
Author: J.R. Ward
Published March 6th 2007 by Onyx

Butch and Marissa’s story. I love how Marissa develops as a character and goes from a sheltered member of the aristocracy to an independent individual. Butch goes through many transformations himself, and I was glad for the fact that he finally found a place where he felt like he belonged. We also get some glimpses into the lives of the other characters, I’m especially getting curious for the younger generation.

Title: Lover Unbound (Black Dagger Brotherhood #5)
Author: J.R. Ward
Published September 25th 2007 by Signet

The fifth book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, Lover Unbound focusses on Vishous, and on Phury in lesser degree. Vishous is the smart brother, and he has a hand that cannot be touched or it’ll kill you. Even compared to the other BDB books, Love Unbound was incredibly light on a plot. There were no lesser chapters (lessers are the mortal enemies of the vampires) and all of the conflict was based on character interactions. In my head the brothers look completely different, but that only increases my enjoyment of these books. Ms Ward knows how to toy with your emotions, and her love for her characters shines through at every page.

Lover Unbound gets bonus points for having a non-feminine female love interest, and for the awesome bromance between V and Butch.

Title: Lover Enshrined (Black Dagger Brotherhood #6)
Author: J.R. Ward
Published June 3rd 2008 by Signet

Phury is the celibate, reserved brother with a slight drug addiction. His personal story might not be my favourite, but I adore all of the other story lines we see in Lover Enshrined. I’m falling in love with the younger vampires, John, Qhuinn, and Blay, and it’s been heartbreaking to see the precarious balance between the vampires and their mortal enemies being upset. The scope of the world is steadily increasing, and I can’t wait to read more about all of these fascinating characters.
