This might be the best book so far. The lessers were much less a part of the story. The political intrigue was great. This felt much different to the other novels in the series so far, but it was a lovely change of pace. The books were starting to bleed together. This one absolutely stands out.

Aaand the adventure continues after some sleep, a shower, and a grocery delivery. There is no question who is on the cover of this one. I‘m so excited to read another book cantered around Wrath and Beth. I wonder if he sits on that thrown shirtless a lot? Usually he has on a muscle shirt, supposedly. #jrward #BlackDaggerBrotherhood #TheKing

GingerAntics @julesG gee, I wonder who that‘s supposed to be? 😂🤣😂 2y
julesG Not how I pictured him in my head 2y
GingerAntics @julesG same… I also want to see more of that butt length hair we keep hearing about. 2y

julesG No one in their right mind has hair that long. It's a bit like sand, I suppose. 🙈🙈 I never grew mine past the waistline. 2y
GingerAntics @julesG this guy seems really pale to me. Where are his famous wrap arounds? Plus, this dude looks like he‘s got light brown/dark blonde hair, and Wrath is supposed to have black hair. Nothing against this guy, honestly, but it‘s sort of leaving me wanting more. 2y
GingerAntics @julesG 😂🤣😂 my cousin actually used to have hair that long, and it was black. His hair was so shiny and nice and manageable. The jerk. Clearly he got the good hair genes. His hair was gorgeous. It was nothing for him to wash it, didn‘t even have to use conditioner in the summer, comb it out, tie it back and go. Man I was jealous of his hair. Clearly I still am. That‘s really what I picture when they talk about Wrath‘s hair. 2y
julesG Just put daggers on the cover. Folded steel, intricately woven leather around the hilt,... 2y
GingerAntics @julesG he‘s not in his right mind when it comes to his hair. He‘s doing it for Beth, remember? I get the impression that she‘s the one who takes care of it. 😂🤣😂 2y
GingerAntics @julesG 🤣😂🤣 2y
GingerAntics @julesG based on this picture, I get why he didn‘t want to sit in his father‘s thrown/chair. That thing is ostentatious AF. 🤯 It also kind of dwarfs him. 2y

This is book 12 in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. This one is about Wrath the last full blooded vampire and the King of the race. As with the other books you get snippets of other stories woven in. I don't want to say much in case their are others who have not read this far yet. Still enjoying this series and I thought this one worked well. I loved how Wrath handled the political situation. It gave him more depth and I liked seeing this⬇️

TheSpineView ...side of him. It gives the reader an idea of how difficult his job must be. Looking forward to reading book thirteen. ❤🧛‍♂️📖 3y
wanderinglynn I‘ve not read JR Ward. I may have to check out this series! 3y
Fr3NcHtOaSt Started reading this series. Pretty good so far. Also Wrath on the cover of this book pictured here bears a striking resemblance to Eric Northman, played by Alexander Skarsgard from True Blood 3y

TheSpineView @wanderinglynn It is all hot vampire goodness! ❤🧛‍♂️ 3y
TheSpineView @Fr3NcHtOaSt I get that, especially if his hair was long and black. 3y
Fr3NcHtOaSt @TheSpineView it‘s the eyes 3y
Fr3NcHtOaSt @wanderinglynn your post was right above this one which led me to make the connection 3y
wanderinglynn @Fr3NcHtOaSt 👍🏻 And I‘ll definitely have to add this to my tbr. 3y

August first so here‘s my reading recap for July. Been making it back through one of my favorite book series (if you couldn‘t tell). I know I need to make a dent in my TBR but these books are so good and it‘s a comfort in the anxiety roller coaster that is my life right now. #readingrecap #julyreads #onabitofakick #bdb #blackdaggerbrotherhood

So this was one of the books I read this weekend. I was a little hesitant given my opinion of the last one, but I liked this one a good amount.

I adored the details for Beth and Wrath. Ward developed their marriage so much more and made it hit realistic issues. I wouldn‘t say it‘s the best book, and it‘s a little lengthy, but it‘s good. (You also will need to read this to know what‘s going on in the world).

I really enjoyed most of this story - Wrath and Beth, Trez and iAm... but I'm still trying to figure out the point of Assail and So.a's storyline. Hopefully the next book clears that up, otherwise it seems kind of pointless to include it

The Blackdagger Brotherhood series is my #GuiltyPleasure.. I've got both italian (hardbacks) and original (ebooks) editions.
At the moment I'm stuck on number 12 "The King", I've started reading it a couple of time, but for now it's a DNF.. But I'm not giving up on those sexy vampire warriors!!!

Asking a romance novel aficionado to choose a #mancrush for the #octphotochallenge is damn near impossible.
First category: fantasy man.
Wrath is tall, dark, and badass... plus incredibly loyal to his woman and his people. And, you know, the vampire king.

Really like this book. By the title you'd think that the book would mainly be focused on Wrath and Beth, it is, but that is also some other parallel histories that confused a bit sometimes. But despite that fact the book is great! Love this series!!!

I have to say I love this series but I didn't think that this book was as good as the others I don't know why it just didn't hold my attention as well as the others in the series
