Well another two thumbs up for J.R. Ward, I expected nothing less. J.R. Ward matched my expectations in this book and then some. Ward's ability to weave together a story with bread crumbs that lead to the next and future books is one of the things I love about this series. I usually have a hard time with series because of all the cliff hangers, but Ward does a good job of making each book a stand alone while at the same time setting up future books with characters you can't wait to see again and see how their storyline ends.
This book was about Vishous and Dr. Jane Whitcomb. Vishous is a Vampire Warrior with a past as dark and twisted as the rest of his brothers in the "Brotherhood". His childhood and youth makes you want to cringe. What he had to do to survive brings tears to your eyes and leaves you with nightmares. He's been cursed (or blessed, depending on how you see things) with a white light power in his hand. His hand leaves him unable to touch another living thing, unless he wants to kill them. His hand can kill with a touch or heal Butch (ironically). He's also cursed with the ability to see how someone will die and some other future events. His visions are so vague that he cannot change the future, even though he wants to.
Vishous was brought up in a war camp and the impact has left him unable to feel anything emotionally. He's vacant and seeks to fill that hole with meaningless sex and knowledge from around the world from the past and present. In this book he meets Dr. Jane Whitcomb, a young doctor whose past is also tormented, but in a different way. She can connect with Vishous, yet cannot be with him. He's immortal and she's human and no matter what they want they cannot be together forever. Add to this the fact that he's just been named Primal and breeder of their kind doesn't make things any better.
I loved this book from start to finish. I was a little confused with how things ended, but loved it all the same.
