She is such a powerful female character that this book needed for a long time. Rhavyn was the saving grace of this book and I love her. You remember Payne, right? Ward does not. But also, it would be also very believable if Payne was the one who was present in this book. Here, with all of the evil awakening, his presence semi-made sense. Honestly, V needs to take a seat at least for one fucking book. But Ward, of course, made a situation where V could be present and be the one with whom Balthazar has conversations. Dialogue Balthazar had with other Bastards was almost non-existent. How did he end with Band of Bastards? Who his family is? His relationships with other Bastards? Nothing. So, he is 300 years old and we don't get any kind of his backstory.

Balthazar on the other hand was a carbon copy of her heroes. Erika was a really interesting lead with so much backstory which was revealed only at the end. This book was a good ensemble cast book and a very mediocre main pairing book. Will the very thing that brings them together lead to the ultimate destruction of the Brotherhood? Or will they have to lose everything in order to save the race’s most sacred defenders?

When Devina’s wish for true love is finally granted, Balthazar and Erika unwittingly become the gateway for the rebirth of an old enemy of the Brothers. Mutilated bodies that cannot be explained are all over her case list-and then there are her nightmares in which she’s hunted by shadows and captivated by a mysterious man who is both a suspect and a savior. Especially not a human.Īs a homicide detective, Erika Saunders knows there is something otherworldly going on in Caldwell, New York. As a thief, he has stolen a lot of things…but he never thought his heart would be taken by another. Possessed by the demon Devina, Balthazar is once again on the hunt for the Book of Spells-and fighting an undeniable attraction to a woman. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling series. True love brings a deadly threat to the Black Dagger Brotherhood in this sizzling new novel in J.R.
