See where it all began in the first phenomenal novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series… The only purebred vampire left on the planet and the leader of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who killed his parents centuries ago. But when his most trusted fighter is killed—orphaning a half-breed daughter unaware of her … daughter unaware of her heritage or her fate—Wrath must put down his dagger and usher the beautiful female into another world.
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 the Brotherhood and blood frighten her. Yet his touch ignites a dawning new hunger—one that threatens to consume them both…

JR Ward is an automatic buy and read for me – this one added to the whole series and progressed it considerably.
It introduced me to the sexiest brotherhood of vampires ever!! These males may have their problems but you can be sure they’ll always have your back!!
Amazing book! Will hook you right in and you’ll stay hooked the rest of the series!
As this is the first book in this series I recommend anyone starts with it. I have become utterly addicted to this series and its characters. It’s got a little bit of everything, from hot and steamy romance to action and a little humor.
I would love to see this book and series made into a movie!
I am a fan of J. R Ward but it comes up as not available in this country….. In the UK not Mars this happens a lot I find it disappointing… Catherine
One of my all-time favourite books and author. In fact, the entire series is. I love Wards ability to create unique characters, make you fall in love with them and need (need, need) more.
J. R. Ward is a bestselling author for a reason! Her characters are sexy, badass, and unique. Each character was carefully constructed with personalities that add depth and relatability. Her books have the perfect balance of steamy and action. I’ve gotten many friends hooked on paranormal romance after recommending this series!
So much is going on from the moment you start this book. All the different perspectives. I couldn’t put it down. Already diving into the next book.
DANGEROUS & PROVOCATIVE!
I LOVE WRATH & BETH!!!
AND BUTCH!!
AND VISHOUS!!
Okay…I have a soft spot for every one of them!
I read Dark Lover and the next 7 in this series years ago but my sister wanted to do a BDB book club, so I’m rereading these all over again and then continuing into the ones I didn’t get a chance to read! How insane that …
I’ve read this series twice. I love these characters! I’m happy I live in a time when “Lady Porn” is totally acceptable! LOL These books are seriously steamy. Thank you, J.R. Ward!
I found the beginning of the book to be somewhat boring, then again, world building can often times get tedious to read about.
However, once the action got underway, the story picked up speed.
Alternating POV’s between so many different characters is not my favorite thing in the world as it can seriously mess up with the flow of the story, and …
My first fantasy book and I loved it. The fantasy wasn’t really out of the world, that it would had made the story so unrealistic. Dark Lover had great characters and flowed nicely. Looking forward to reading the next book.
A series I’ve seen bounced around forever but never gave it a shot till now. Honestly, I had a love-hate relationship with this book. Actually, hate is too strong of a word. Love-dislike is better.
It’s a slow start, and the multiple POVs is annoying. I found Butch’s to be unessecary. I see he gets a book in a few; so I wonder if it’s …
Can’t go wrong with this series.
The first book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Wrath is my favorite character in the books
A must read book!!!!
I have read this entire series! And I love everyone of them.
This was an unexpected surprise and I didn’t expect to get sucked in as quickly as I did to this story but yes! I want all the Wrath & Beth moments and the rest of the gang are sure add more to this intense series.
I know I’m late to the game, but I really enjoyed this paranormal romance. Sexy and creepy and fun.
