I Loved Loved Loved this book. The story grabbed me from the first page. The characters immediately won me over and the plot kept me flipping pages as fast as I could; while the writers 'voice' kept me enthralled. Thats the upshot. The thing is the brotherhood is not for everyone so be warned. I wouldn't start this series unless you have a high tollerence for pain.
I loved the characters so much I couldn't wait to read the rest of their storys. I almost wish I hadn't because the rest of the series is dark, dark, dark. J.R. Ward strips her characters bare and leaves them (emotionally,metephorically) bleeding. It was agonizing for me to watch these characters I loved so much suffer through the tribulations she put then through.
So while Dark Lover stays on my shelf as a shining example of how to write an awesome story. I havn't decided if I will finish the series. I am up to Lover Mine (FYI the story I expect to be one of the critical plot vehicals) because I am afraid of what she will put the focal character through. He has already gone through Hell twice (3 times if you want to be picky) and I'm not sure I'm strong enough to withstand the (emotional) beating he is sure to endure next.
