WOW! Ms Ward just cemented herself as my new favorite paranormal author! This is THE BEST BDB book yet! It tells of Rhevenge and the reasons behind many of his decisions. He has to choose between doing the right thing, even when it will likely cause his death or following his sympath ways. Many of our old friends are in this book and each has a strong role in the book: Wrath/Beth, John Michael/Xhex and Rhevenge/Ehlena. We also catch up with Lash and Tohr.
The downside... the language is EVEN more street and I had to hide it from my kids and the romance kind of takes second stage. Some felt that the story didn't focus on Rhevenge enough but I think he was presented through his developing relationships with the other characters... that in itself is pivotal for him.
That said, it was my favorite BDB novel! It is NON STOP action, adventure and romance, and I wasnt' too disappointed that there was less romance. The pace made up for it! Loved it! Can't wait for the next one!

Loads of strong character development and movement of the series plotline. Rehv is a multifaceted character and his damage runs deep. I was not prepared to find him as interesting, but he and his love interest really "brought it." Beth and Wrath, the original and royal couple, also have a large part in this book. It's all good, less sensual than others - but this woman can write and I'm ready for more! 4.5 stars - read it!
