Lover Enshrined (Black Dagger Brotherhood)

by J R Ward

Lover Enshrined (Black Dagger Brotherhood) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

As Primale of the Chosen, the fiercely loyal Phury has sacrificed himself for the good of his race. But his first mate, the Chosen Cormia, wants not only his body but his heart for herself. As tragedy looms over the Brotherhood's mansion, Phury must decide between duty and love

Review:

"Wards's terrific latest picks up the Black Dagger Brotherhood of vampires where Lover Unbound left off. Phury, a sworn Brother who has also become the Primale, is wrestling with a destiny he doesn't want, an addiction he can't handle and an insurmountable feeling of inadequacy that bleeds over into his love for Cormia, his Chosen First Mate. He holes up at the Brotherhood's rural New York base. The Omega, bent on destroying the vampire race, is meanwhile growing ever stronger, and his long-held plan to destroy the Brothers, via the Lessening Society, is coming to fruition. Younger Brotherhood trainees John Matthew, Qhuinn and Blaylock are learning what it means to come of age and are immersed in their own drama with Qhuinn's malicious cousin, Lash. The stories all reach a shared climax, leading to explosive revelations that set up the next book beautifully. Focusing less on Phury and Cormia and more on the Omega's plot amps the tension on all sides. A subplot involving Rhevenge, John Matthew and the female symphath Xhex is particularly exciting, with Ward diving into varied subspecies, sexual predilections and questions of identity. Ward has outdone herself with this latest Brotherhood novel. (June)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Well, Ward has done it again. I just couldn't put this book down once I started. There was so much going on, it was non-stop from the first chapter! There have been lots of complaints about Ward's books and her characters, and where the series is going. I, for one, kind of enjoy the fact that I don't expect the series to go in any certain way. I like s/f, I like fantasy, and I like romance. This series, once again, just speaking for myself, seems to be a blend of all three and it works for me.

Phury's book was long. I think part of it was the added set-ups for future books, but somehow I felt it all melded together for me. I've been a big fan since "Dark Lover", and each book after it has furthered the world and the plot and I just can't get enough of these guys. I teared up in a couple of places, I was frustrated with the characters in a couple of places, I was surprised with plot directions in a couple of places, and I was grinning in many places. When a book can run you through the gamut of emotion and still have you smiling at the end...well, that's a really good book.

Now I just have to deal with the wait for the next one! Rumint gives publishing dates anywhere from January to May 2009. Either way, it's a long time to wait. But wait I will, and will I buy the next one? You betcha!
