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.

I have always liked this series and this was my favorite out of the. Every couple of years I go back and try-read it.
I love J. R. Ward’s books. Always a great read.
Book 1 of the Brotherhood of the Black Dagger series – a steamy new take on the world of vampires. I’ve read the series and the related spinoff series several times, recommended them to several people. I love everything thing written to date.
This is the first book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. This series is responsible for my absolute love of JR Ward as an author. I consider the BDB books quentisential examples of Paranormal Romance. If you like this genre, you will become addicted to the ongoing saga of “the Brothers”. Fortunately, there’s plenty of books in this …

Enlightenment of other worlds, love all the Black dagger series
Love the series. Love the characters.
So I *finally* got on the BDB train in 2018 and I now understand how folks can be so sucked in and paradoxically annoyed by loving it so much (the reviewer who calls it “crack laced with rat poison” is spot on )
The world building is phenomenal as is the sheer number of storylines that individually are intriguing while combined are nothing …

He is out for revenge for the ones that killed his parents. Now one of his brothers has been killed and has left a daughter who is about to go through the …
I know I am really late to the game with these books but I am so glad that I finally got to listen to it. So much happens and so many great characters that this book left me entranced all the way through to the end. I loved everything about it and will be diving into the next soon.
I liked the different array of characters! Things moved along very quickly. It has original ideas and doesn’t drag things on and on.
This is my second book into the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. The first book I read was further into the series and while they can be read standalone, as with so many other series – I suggest starting from the beginning. Lots of alpha male vamps in this series so if that’s your thing or you can read past that to get to the romance and …
A wonderful beginning to an amazing series. I have read and re-read the series multiple times and look forward to the next installment.
I wait anxiously for every book JR Ward puts out. I re-read the series every time a new on is released.
J. R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series is like nothing else.

J.R Ward is an amazing author I have read all of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series along with a couple of her other series
It’s the freakin BDB!!! Masterpiece! Enough said! Dark Lover….Classic PNR!
JR Ward has built an amazingly detailed adjacent-to-ours world filled with great characters including supernatural beings and fully realized female characters. This is the book to begin with when diving into the Black Dagger Brotherhood. I loved every moment of it and Ms Ward’s writing manages to be clever and engaging while remaining accessible.
This was the book that captivated me to indulge in the world of black dagger brotherhood. Which I absolutely fell in love with. The warden keeps you on your toes and you just happen to fall in love with all the characters. Oh and theres steamy I mean steamy scenes.
