RATING: 5 AXE, RHAGE...nawww LASSITER STARS!
Trainees at the Black Dagger Brotherhood' training centre continue to prepare for the fight against the Lessening Society, but fighting is the last thing on Axe's mind. Still plagued with the guilt of his father's death, the brooding loner finds himself battling an unlikely attraction to Peyton's bright, aristocratic cousin, Elise.
Elise feels it too - and when the two are thrown together in unusual circumstances Elise must decide whether she can trust Axe to help her uncover the mystery surrounding her sister's death.
Meanwhile, Mary and Rhage are in the process of adopting Bitty, a young pretrans orphan, until the appearance of a young male claiming to be Bitty's blooded uncle threatens to tear the new family apart.
BOOK REVIEW :
I literally get giddy when I receive a BDB book from the publisher and I have the oh-so-hard task of squirreling myself away to read it.
I worship every word J.R. Ward writes about these Vampire men, these sexy ass lovers who give all for their shellan.
This is the spinoff series, but at the same time I felt oh so comfortable like I was still in the original BDB series.
These books are thick and I virtually start having BDB-withdrawal when I get closer to the end, because I want them to keep going.
That’s how much I love the BDB world.
Rhage and Mary and Bitty share part of this book along with Elise and Axe and the trainees.
I do love these new characters sliding into the BDB world. Peyton and Novo are becoming more and more faves of mine.
Axe is rawrrrr and I was purring reading his character...he almost appears like he is ready to step into those big shitkickers.
V and the other lads make appearances which is always humma humma and no less as BABU’s.
If we could all be so lucky.
And then there is Lassiter.
Oh…my…God…is he the funny bone in the latter part of The Warden’s BDB series of books. He really is one of the funniest sub characters brought into a long standing series.
He is THE BEST!
I really do want more of him in each book from now on.
You are gonna so adore him when he pops in and out of this book. He really will tickle your funny bone.
Sometimes I think the BDB lads can be a little hard on the guy.
Vishious put both hands up to his face and rubbed hard. Like in his mnd, he was throwing a beat-down in the angel’s direction, but he knew he couldn’t draw blood in front of the girl -- and the self-control required was killing him.
“You can stay home,” V muttered. “You really can totally f-in’ stay the f home, you f’ed-up mother-f’ing f-twit.”
Lassiter clasped his breastplate, and swooned like Julie Andrews. “Don’t you love it when he can’t swear? Warms the cockles—it’s like watching a drunk on roller skates try to play dodgeball in the dark—"
I do love the banter between the BDB lads and Lassiter, but sometimes I wonder at why they can appear to dislike him so much and be a little mean/hard on him. He’s just hilarious and a bit of a big kid. Totally harmless, but underneath…there is a more serious side to Lassiter you get a little peek at on occasion and there is a lotta heart inside that angel.
I often wonder if the angel is lonely. * looks wistful*
“Hey,” Lassiter said as he opened the way through the vestibule, “will anyone slap a puck around with me to pass the time?”
“No,” everybody including Bitty, shot back.
“But I will slap the f-in’ crap out of something else,” V said under his breath.
“I love it when you talk dirty to me. Gimme a hug. C’mon, you know you wanna…”
All in all, this was another ripper of a read and I am so excited for The Chosen coming in April 2017.
Be still my heart...it's FINALLY Layla and Xcor.
*dances like Elaine from Seinfeld*
