Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there’s a war raging between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brothers like no other – six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. But now an ally of the Brotherhood is about to encounter his own dark desires… Butch O’Neal is a fighter by nature. A hard-living ex-homicide cop, he’s the only human ever to be allowed in the inner circle of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. And he wants to go even deeper into the vampire world – to engage in the turf war with the lesser. He’s got nothing to lose. His heart belongs to a female vampire, an aristocratic beauty who’s way out of his league. If he can’t have Marissa, then at least he can fight side by side with the Brothers… Fate curses him with the very thing he wants. When Butch sacrifices himself to save a civilian vampire from the slayers, he falls prey to the darkest force in the war. Left for dead, he’s found by a miracle, and the Brotherhood calls on Marissa to bring him back. But even her love may not be enough to save him…

In forth book I was so happy that Butch gets to become one of the Brotherhood. But even better then that was the relationship between Marissa and Butch. This is one of those stories that you are trying to keep up with the characters and at the end of everything your breathless. This book adds some great depth to the story line of the series. I really like the new abilities that Butch now possesses. I enjoyed reading this one quite a bit and can't wait to read the next book, Lover Unbound.

A former blood slave, the vampire Zsadist still bears the scars from a past filled with suffering and humiliation. Renowned for his unquenchable fury and sinister deeds, he is a savage feared by humans and vampires alike. Anger is his only companion and terror his only passion – until he rescues a beautiful female from the evil Lessening Society. Bella is instantly entranced by the seething power Zsadist possesses.

Now Bella must help her lover overcome the wonds of his tortured past and find a future with her…

In the third installment of the Black Dagger Series we meet Zsadist who is a very scarred soul, for what was done to him he’d rather attack others so that he doesn’t get hurt by them. But when Bella is taken he can’t help but find her and kill who ever has taken her. Bella seems to have always had a thing for Zsadist no matter how much he pushes her away. Even going as far as insisting that she should be with his twin. When he finally decides to except that he is worthy of her he does right by her. I felt did cry for Tohr. I just hope he comes back. Bella and Zsadist are great characters that you just fall in love with. I really did enjoy this quite a lot. And I can't wait to read the next book in the series, Lover Revealed.
