Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward’s ferociously inventive series continues as the most fearsome member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood discovers just how tempting the night can be…

A former blood slave, Zsadist still bears the scars from a past filled with suffering and humiliation. Renowned for his unquenchable fury and sinister deeds, he is a savage feared by humans and vampires alike. Anger is his only companion, and terror is his only passion—until he rescues a beautiful female from the evil Lessening Society.

Bella is instantly entranced by the Brother’s seething power.  Except even as their desire for each other begins to overtake them, Zsadist’s thirst for vengeance against her abductor drives him to the brink of madness.  Now Bella must help her lover not only overcome the wounds of his tortured past, but find a future with her...

    Zsadist is probably the most twisted of characters. Forced to live as a slave and suffered physical and psychological torcher. A broken man, he tries to save a female. And she tries to save him. Easy to read. Plot moved. Good book.

    The story of Zsadist is sad, painful, at time hard to read but also relatable. As a sexual abuse survivor, some of the details were hard to read but I also know by experience that yes people are that sick and perverse. Ward, made me relive my own trauma along with Z and we made it through. Is his life perfect, no! Which is what I liked about this book she is raw and unfiltered when describing his self hatred, and after I’m reading the words. I say to myself how sad that a man can feel that low, less than or unworthy of love! But, girl you went through the same struggles and although I’ve healed for the most part, like Zsadist, I have to work at it every day.

    Zsadist was always one of my favourite characters from this series, but this time through I love them all. I’m not sure I can pick a favourite. Z is certainly up there though with his past, and his strength to eventually push through it all. I didn’t remember so much if this book, but all those details made the book even better than I remembered it.
  • Good read

    Good story. I really liked Zsadist in this story. He and Bella are a good match. The plot was quite bizarre. David or Mr. O, was completely nuts. He was all over the place crazy. So many secrets brewing within the vampire community. Now the drug addict and drug pusher were related. Bella has no clue about her brother, The pimp, club owner and drug dealer. I did not understand why Welsie had to die. I would have accepted injured, but die. So much unnecessary tragedy for John. But everyone of the Brotherhood has drama in their life. Including Butch. I believe John is Darius reincarnated. Although the timing is weird. Definitely longer than it needed to be for me, but a good read.
  • J R WARD does it again!!!!

    I don’t know how much further I can read into this series. It’s sooo good but I’m getting way too attached to the characters. I love Z’s transition and that I get to witness that he has a family without Bella dying during childbirth. However, Tohr’s issues makes things so sad for me. What a good writer man.
