Helpful Score: 1

Another wonderful addition to the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I loved this book although it does seem to be at odds with something said earlier about humans and vampires. I understand Ward did what she had to for the sake of moving Butch's storyline along, but it clashes with the vampire mythology she set up in the first book.

What I love about this series is Ward manages to create interesting storylines for each major character. This is Butch's story. I hadn't paid much attention to his character in the previous books other than to enjoy the smart-ass comments he makes, but this book really took him to a whole new level. He's definitely a male of worth. The friendship and bond between Butch and V is a beautiful thing. They have some very funny interactions in the book. There are also some very poignant scenes that show V's troubled relationship with himself. The balcony scene nearly gave me a heart attack. Whew!

One pet peeve, I was so annoyed by how little the female character knew about intimate matters. She was beyond clueless. It got annoying after a while. I think the average American sixth grader knows more. I understand she's innocent, but she's also three hundred years old and knows how to use a computer and drive a car, but she doesn't know anything at all about her own anatomy or a man's.

The scene in the Tomb with all the Brothers is amazing. I could see that so clearly in my head. It's so vividly described. Gave me chills. It's one of my favorite scenes from the series.
