The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward.
Let me just make this short. I think I've read the six published books about 5 times now and they still amaze me. I love vampires. I love sex. I love action. I love vulnerability and I love men. And these books... they got it all. Man if you're a huge Bram Stroker fan you shouldn't read them but.. I'm not... So I love them.
Basically the books are split up in six..for now. One for each warrior in the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Let me just quote from Wikipedia...
"The Black Dagger Brotherhood is an erotic paranormal romance series by author J. R. Ward. The series focuses on six vampire brothers and warriors who live together and defend their race against Lessers, de-souled humans who threaten their kind."
I just love them... can't help it. It sounds like those sexed up granny books but their not. There is real questions about life and death, right and wrong etc. If you look beyond the hot steaming sex you can see that Ward is actually trying to tell you something about yourself. Like she wants you to find your own path to do what you want to do. Love is very much a key in the book but also respect, life and the question about beliefs.
Ward has made her own paradise of men. Really she has. And the freaky things is.. that I want to fuck..each and every one of them.. Haha.. Weird. Anyways.. The characters are really interesting, not because their vamps but because of who they are.
Wrath is the king of all vampires, the last pureblooded undead on this earth. He is also almost blind.
Rhage aka Hollywood is said to be the most beautiful and the strongest of the brothers. He's also cursed. A repercussion of something he did, that hurt another.
Zsadist, the scarred and soulsess one. Kidnapped and raped by a cruel Mistress until his brother Phury saves him for which he earns himself a nice scar across his face. Has no trust in anybody, not even himself. "Ruined...not broken"
Butch: The human go vampire cop. Funny character with lots of personality. A usual...fuck up man. In love with someone he can never have, cursed by the Omega. The devil himself
Vishous: The male dominant vampire. Sexy as hell.. with a gift from his mother that would easily deep fry anyone.
Phury: Zsadist twin brother, shot his foot of when he saved Z from his mistress. Drug addict, plus he's pledged a vow to be celibate for his whole life.
There are lots of other charries involved but.. I can't be bothered with writing them all down.
I won't tell to much about the seires, just that I'm addicted. And people who know me know... that I would rather read a book like Narnia or The Davinci code then this.. So here are the books in the order you should read them:


There is a seventh book on the day and I can't wait till it's out. The title is set and here it is:
Lover Avenged
So... Don't think they're just...romantic jerk off books. There is really something special about them. Though I know I've probably not said enough to get you interested... But I just wanted to blog about something, so if you want to check them out a little closer go to http://www.jrward.com/index-books.html and read all about them:)
