Black Dagger Brotherhood
From Amazon.com:
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.
Foxy's Review:
**3.75 Too Much Going On stars**
LOVER ENSHRINED had so many different story lines going on that I started to lose interest in the book the further I went in it. Three main stories fought for attention in this book:
♦ Phury & Cormia – frustrating ★★★
♦ Rehv – interested at the beginning but as the book went on I dozed off ★★
♦ JM, Blay and Qhuinn – BEST PART OF THE BOOK ★★★★★
“The Wizard” came up with Top Ten Reasons, Phury, Is a Sh*thead.
Here’s “Foxy’s” Top 10 Reasons, Phury, Frustrated Me:
1. Spent his time smoking weed
2. Made Cormia feel bad about herself
3. Decided to (view spoiler)
4. Druggie
5. Lies
6. Spent his time being a martyr
7. Gives up stuff important to him for his drugs
8. Won’t admit his feelings to Cormia
9. Junkie
10. Pining over Bella
Overall this book was my least favorite, so far, in the series. It was a let down for many different reasons. JM, Blay and Qhuinn saved this book for me. Their friendship kept me flipping pages. I’m looking forward Father Mine where I get to see Z as a daddy.
