In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there’s a deadly war raging between vampires and their slayers. And there exists a secret band of brothers like no other—six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. And now, a dutiful twin must choose between two lives... Fiercely loyal to the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Phury has sacrificed himself for the good of the race, becoming the male responsible for keeping the Brotherhood's bloodlines alive. As Primale of the Chosen, he is to father the sons and daughters who will ensure that the traditions of the race survive and that there are warriors to fight those who want all vampires extinguished. As his first mate, the Chosen Cormia wants to win not only his body but his heart for herself- she sees the emotionally scarred male behind all his noble responsibility. But while the war with the Lessening Society grows more grim, and tragedy looms over the Brotherhood's mansion, Phury must decide between duty and love.

If this series were a TV show, the first book would be the conventional pilot with a few hints of something intriguing. Books 2 -5 are the season's development and exploration of different characters and storylines. Book 6 then, is the explosive season finale, complete with plot twists and dramatic shifts in understanding how the universe works, including changes to the balance of power, revelations about characters, new types of beings, and expansion of the story's goals. I liked it a lot. Ready for Season 2!
The Phury story was decent. Mostly the book is good for tying up the first batch of characters, moving the plot and stakes of the Lessening Society, and introducing the next characters to find love. The new characters and new dangers are interesting and plan to continue with the series!
