Ward wrote it I would love it, but it was just okay for me. I would say it's more of an Urban Fantasy with some romance in it. Going into this read I thought it was going to be a romance with some angels in it. Now if I am going to be honest I will say that the reason I am reading this series is because there are rumors that the villain Devina might be crossing over to BDB and I wanted to know about her so I wouldn't be confused. Don't read this series expecting it to be like BDB at all.
That being said this book wasn't like the Black dagger Brotherhood Series that I adore.
Ward and I think she is a super talented author. Overall, none of the characters are quite as fully developed as I would have liked, but it took me until the second book of the BDB to fully warm up to the Brothers and now I adore them-so there's potential here.Okay so I want to start this review by saying that I love J.R. While I liked Marie Terese and was rooting for her, I have to admit a bit of a squirm factor when the "good girl" is a prostitute. The three characters who it appears will form the core of this series have potential, although they didn't quite grab me the way characters in the BDB have. The narrator does a great job of bringing the characters to life and providing the right tone for the text. Some places, like the Commodore and the Iron Mask are more central to the story so we spend a little more time there. By starting off in the Brothers' stomping ground of Caldwell we begin our voyage with unfamiliar people in a familiar setting and even get the small thrills of bumping into characters and places we already know, even if they are only the briefest of encounters. No, it's not quite at the level of the BDB, but its premise and characters show real potential. Overall, a credit worthy read.Īs a huge fan of Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, I thought I would give this new series a try. I felt Eric Dove did a great job of narrating the story. I believe the author was attempting to make some of the main characters come across as tough and "street smart", but I felt she really overused abbreviated words, cursing, and slang in general to the point that it felt a tad contrived. The only complaint I found with the book overall is the dialogue of some of the characters. The characters were engaging in their roles. However, the book certainly doesn't center around the lovemaking, and when it does occur, it fits into the plot.
There are rather graphic sex encounters in this book, and if you are offended by such things then beware. The paranormal parts of the plot were understandable, tied closely to judeo-christian religious mythology most would be at least somewhat familiar with. The action was fast paced and I found it hard to wait to see what would happen next. This book is action packed, with a nice steamy romance thrown in.
