#1 New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward's thrilling new novel in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Payne, twin sister of Vishous, is cut from the same dark, seductive cloth as her brother. Imprisoned for eons by their mother, the Scribe Virgin, she finally frees herself-only to face a devastating injury. Manuel Manello, M.D., is drafted by the Brotherhood to save her as only he can-but when the human surgeon and the vampire warrior meet, their two worlds collide in the face of their undeniable passion. With so much working against them, can love prove stronger than the birthright and the biology that separates them?

The story continues to develop & expand in interesting ways. Payne makes the second female “brother” and I am happy to have her in the group. I was happy that she was not a victim of sexual violence the way the first female brother, Xhex, was, both for my own comfort and because I hate the storytelling convention of making strong (physically) female characters former victims. I also welcomed the story of Xcor and the Band of Bastards. They have their own moral code and appeal which will be fun to get to know in contrast to the Brothers. The writing seemed sloppy in this one though, to the point that I started to wonder if Ward was farming it out to someone, but I don't think she produces at that high of a level. Onward!
