Kreader Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I'm reading these books now. They're about a band of warrior vampires who are supposed to be protectors of their race. They fight against Lessers who wish to destroy the vampires. Yes the good versus evil aproach with yin and yan balances. Humans are just in the background and are not usually the vampires means of substinance. There's a sort of street lingo used and lots of male bonding plus some romance/erotica involved. There is an old fashioned rigid social structure surrounding the vampire culture despite the modern lingo. The males are domineering and want to be as macho as possible.

Kreader Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Here's a synopsis of the first book, Dark Lover http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dark-Lover-Black-Dagger-Brotherhood/dp/0749938188/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1239120354&sr=8-1 In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly turf war going on between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brothers like no other-six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Yet none of them relishes killing more than Wrath, the blind leader of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. The only purebred vampire left on earth, 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 - leaving his half-breed daughter unaware of his existence or her fate - Wrath must usher her into the world of the undead - a world beyond her wildest dreams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookBee8 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I have this first one on my TBR list. I'm not sure if it'll be my kind of thing but I'm willing to give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanC_84 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I have this first one on my TBR list. I'm not sure if it'll be my kind of thing but I'm willing to give it a try. Yeah, this is my situation. THe first one is on my TBR pile, but I'm not sure if I am going to like it. Might as well give it a go though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amika Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I've read this series. I enjoyed each book & always look forward to the next book release in this series. The Black Dagger Brotherhood (J. R Ward) books are quite popular her in the US. Another author Gena Showalter has a similar series, but instead of vampires they are men possessed by demons. This series is Lords of the Underworld (which I don't think is as good as the Black Dagger Brotherhood). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charm Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I love this series! Real escapism books, a bit cheesy and corny, but total fun. Can't wait for the next one Definitely not suitable for young adult readers though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Hi everyone thanks to my friend Claire and Charm I started reading them, I am on book 3, as Charm says, they are very corny and cheesy but loads of fun, just plain old escapism and definitely not for the young yins.

kmacdon3 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Love love love these books! As said previously, real escapism books. After only getting round to read the first three I'd say that Zsadists' story (Lover Awakened) has been my favourite so far. Will hopefully have enough time to read the rest some time in the near future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Hi Everyone I finished book 6 (Lover Enshrined) the other day and its a definite favourite of mines next to book 2 (Lover Eternal), as I said before (sorry), the books are total escapism but they are well written and I like J.R. Ward's style Book 7 & 8 arrived today, whoo hoo! Edited September 17, 2010 by Weave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charm Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Book 7 & 8 arrived today, whoo hoo!
