Yet another fantastic book by JR Ward. I have yet to be let down through all 8 of the books so far with book 9 coming up for release March 29th I can't wait to read more. This book had me turning page after page drawing me in even further.

In this book we get to see John and Xhex relationship develop throughout the book. John starts to grow up through out this book. Instead of being a man whore he learns that even if you love someone you must do what is best for them rather than what you want. He loves Xhex no matter what and he decides that if he gets her back from Lash he is willing to let her go as it is what she would want. Afterall xhex is not the stay at home bonding female type right.

Xhex however starts to evolve emotionally throughout this book. We know she is a tough and independent woman. She doesn't need a man to protect her because she can kick butt just as well. However through this series we see her overcome her horrible time with Lash and her past. She learns to open up and even accept her female side. She starts to realize that it's okay to depend on someone else to help you through the rough times. She starts to realize just how much and how deeply she loves John.

However with both of them wanting vengenance can they learn to accept what's best for one another and work through their disagreements so that they can truly be happy. Most of all can they love eachother for who they are and still be together. YOU HAVE READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT!!!

In this book we also start to seethe relationship between Qhuinn and Blay change. We still don't know if it's for the better. Qhuinn starts to realize what he truly feels for Blay, it's deifnitely more than friendship. Yet is he too late? Blay starts to believe he will never be with Qhuinn and therefore decides to move on. In the book you realize that the reason Qhuinn is not with Blay is because he believe that he is truly NOT good enough for Blay and that Blay deserves so much better than him (heart breaks Qhuinn). Even though Qhuinn was somewhat of a jerk you can't help but understand his feelings for Blay. Afterall Qhuinn looks at himself as trash and not how Blay truly sees him. I honestly hope that their relationship builds in the next book and they do end up together. Both complete opposites but i think it would be great if they ended up together.

Also in this book we are introduced to Payne. Vischous' twin sister. Her story is the main story for the next book. Lover Unleashed. However in this story we get a little information as to what Payne is like. Truly Vischous' twiin she can fight with the best of them. Currently stuck in the Fade or whatever with The Scribe Virgin she realizes she wants more than being stuck their. She wants to experience the Other Side whether it involves heartache and the unknown she wants to live a true life. HWill she get to the Other Side or will she remain with the Scribe Vrigin. Once again you must read the book.

As always this book had action, drama, and romance!!! JR Ward produces yet another fine novel in the BDB series and I can't wait to read more!!!
