Lover Mine: A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood (Hardcover)

I've just finished "Lover Mine" the 8th book in her Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward.

Product Description

The hot new novel in the Black Dagger Brotherhood by the #1 New York Times bestselling author

John Matthew has come a long way since he was found living among humans, his vampire nature unknown. Taken in by The Brotherhood, no one could guess what his true history was-or his true identity.

Xhex has long steeled herself against the attraction to John Matthew. Until fate intervenes and she discovers that love, like destiny, is inevitable.

My Review:

Hmm I afraid to say anything that will ruin spoilers for readers who haven't read this yet! 

John/Xhex:  I have to admit I wasn't really a fan of John or Xhex's before this book (I can hear all the boos an hisses)!  Well you won't be disappointed because J.R. Ward came through with a solid storyline when Xhex was a prisoner of Lashes and how she escaped and when John and the Brotherhood were looking for her!

John/Tohr-Darius/Tohr:  I was glad to read how Darius and Tohr first met and worked together.  I was happy to see Darius take Tohr under his wing and took care of him. 

Lash/Omega:  Wow I didn't know the Omega was that kinky and cruel.  Also didn't know that Lash was also that kinky and cruel too!  This plot was really dark and sadistic!

The BB Ghost Story:  I was going huh how does this fit in the storyline?  Figured out near the end because we find out who the Ghost was!

Payne/Wrath/V/Scribe Virgin/N'One:   All of these plotlines were well written and I can't wait to see more in future books.  Glad to see more of Wrath since we don't see much of him!
Lassiter/Trez/iAM:  These three should get their own books and they were a hoot especially Lassiter!  I loved how protective Trez and iAm are of Xhex.

Blay/Quinn:  Hard to review this part without giving anything away!  All I'm going to say is:

Qhuinn + Blay = Team Qhuay

For me the best parts are the scenes with Qhuinn and Blay!  I can't wait till their book comes out!

Now I will have to wait another year before the next book comes out with Payne and Manny?

5/5
