Tome Thursday: Blood Fury

Hello everyone!

Another book review this Thursday and once again I'm back with a J. R. Ward creation.

As opposed to the last one which I reviewed from this particular world, however, I actually liked this book.

If you recall, I have a very loving relationship with most of the Black Dagger Brotherhood books, mostly because I feel as if the guys are tough, but eventually unbend a little, and the girls can stand their ground (more or less) and soften towards the guys in the end.

Then there was the book which will not be named, and the highly successful as well as likeable Bourbon Kings series, and now we're back with the trainees!

The kids from the Black Dagger Legacy series have grown on me since before these books even began, but then again, when you also get the chance to catch up with the Brothers and their extended family, well, what's not to like?

So without further ado, allow me to present the third book in the BDL series, titled Blood Fury to continue with the bloody trend (pun intended).

Tome Thursday: The Chosen

Hello everyone!

So, two weeks ago (almost at this point) another book by author J. R. Ward dropped, aka, it was released to the general public, and in case you don't know by now, I have a lot of respect and appreciation for the Warden, as she's called online.

Basically, her series of vampire warriors have gotten my attention from the moment a very good friend of mine recommended them and I met with HRH Wrath, son of Wrath.

Since then, there have been fifteen books in the main series and two now in the accompanying series, Black Dagger Legacy, which is a spin-off for the training center and the trainees that are becoming warriors under the main characters' tutelage.

Honestly, if you look at me and my love affair with the Black Dagger Brotherhood even on this blog, you'll notice that I've pretty much read and reviewed a whole lot of the books - read more than reviewed, actually, since I have yet to put the final dot on the lot of them. But I do believe it is safe to say that I have passed the halfway mark, especially with this blog I should thing.

So without further ado, allow me to introduce the newest Warden book, titled The Chosen.

Tome Thursday: Blood Vow

Hello everyone!

Right back to the bookish section of my reviews, and I have to say I keep skipping over the reviews I have noted down in my little sheep notebook.

I mean, I'll GET to them. Eventually.

I hope.

But good books keep popping up all over the place! Which means I keep getting distracted and I keep trying to keep up, which is starting to show some wear and tear but I have to admit I'm also doing quite a good job. It pays off to be able to fall asleep reading a book, you definitely get through a lot of them in the evenings.

Anyway, I am right back into the vampire world with this one, because in December I was more than a little bit stoked to see that the new JR Ward book had been published!

I have a long-standing and abiding love for her and her Black Dagger Brotherhood series, so this spin-off was a no-brainer for me. More vampires? More Brothers? Count me the heck IN! Thank you very much.

So, without further ado, let's sink our teeth into Blood Vow.

Tome Thursday: Blood Kiss

Hello everyone!

So I'm back to reading about vampires, which, really, shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Every once in a while, I'll stumble over some book or book series that will give me my needed bloodsucker dose, although admittedly not everyone does it with as much fanfare as JR Ward, I think.

If anyone has been keeping track of my blog (which I hope you have, but oh well, fingers crossed!), I've been a Ward fan since a very good friend of mine introduced me to the series.

Or, well, the story goes like this: she kept on talking about it, and I sort of kept it in the back of my mind, that I have to read these books, but at the time I didn't have my ereader yet, so it was a bit of a problem until I figured out I could convert the files to PDF, which could then be read on my poor phone (the thing might have died a thousand deaths over one book ... I am still chagrined over that) to my heart's content.

And I was hooked.

Not only are these vampires badass, six-foot-sixers, the lot of them, with black belts in martial arts and zero clue in social behaviour, but they're also sexy as hell.

No surprise to anyone, then, that when the spin-off series was announced, I squealed.

Tome Thursday: The Shadows

Hello everyone!

So, okay, I only just realized that I should probably include a SPOILER ALERT somewhere in the description of this blog, or at the beginning of each entry, but since this is kind of a review and recap place for me to express myself and talk about what I've seen or read, I figure that, generally speaking, that should be a given. It's not always the case though so I apologize if anyone has been 'spoiled' by certain facts I state in these posts, especially on just-released movies or books, but there you go, we all learn and are works in progress along the way, right?

Right.

Back to the actual blog post - yes, with spoilers ahead - I'm going to talk about The Shadows today. A little while ago I posted an entry about Lover Avenged, which was book seven in the Black Dagger Brotherhood book series. Well, end of March saw the release of the very latest installment (number thirteen!) and I think I pretty much dropped three other books I'm reading at the moment (yes, I always read multiple books) just so I could get my hands on this one.
