The Thief
The Thief: A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood | J.R. Ward
New enemies rise and desire burns in the next thrilling novel of the #1 New York Times bestselling paranormal romance series the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Sola Morte, former cat burglar and safecracker, has given up her old life on the wrong side of the law. On the run from a drug lords family, she is lying low far from Caldwell, keeping her nose clean and her beloved grandmother safe. Her heart, though, is back up north, with the only man who has ever gotten through her defenses: Assail, son of Assail, who never meant to fall in loveand certainly not with a human woman. But they have no future, and not just because she doesnt know he is a vampire, but because he is not about to stop dealing arms to the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Fate, however, has other plans for them. When Assail falls into a coma and lingers on the verge of death, his cousins seek out Sola and beg her to give him a reason to live. The last thing she wants is a return to her past, but how can she leave him to die? As a lethal new enemy of the vampires shows its face, and the Brotherhood needs Assail back on his feet, Sola finds herself not only a target, but a mission-critical force in a war she doesnt understand. And when Assails truth comes out, will she run from the horror . . . or follow her heart into the arms of the male who loves her more than life itself?

This was an interesting look into Assail and Sola‘s relationship. It is always funny to see him and his cousins snapping to attention and taking orders from her grandmother. I have a feeling she and Fritz would get along well; although, she would likely try to do the cooking and send him out for the groceries. The strong females in this story really bring it to a whole other level for the BDB universe.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ of 5 ⭐️s

I was really excited to get my mitts on this because SOLA AND ASSAIL ! But their romance kind of fell flat, especially after all the drama involving involving Xcor and Layla in the last book, to say nothing of the drama with Rhage, Mary and Biddy. Good thing there was that whole thing with Jane and V, but even that felt more like an intro to a new phase to this story in preparation for the books that are yet to come.

This book is about Sola and Assail and is set one year after she heads to Miami. It also includes Jane and V's issues coming to a head and getting resolved. A reread before I get my hands on the new one.

Mehso-so

Ok, I‘m ranting! This isn‘t one of her best books!! It‘s irritating how many things were left incompleted so she can write more books. She did well in her previous books but this felt so scattered and uncompleted and too many sex scenes which I skipped over bc it‘s getting old. Those who read it, what‘s your thoughts?

anabereads I agree it wasn‘t one of her best. At best it was a setup for her next one. I was also hoping Jane would go and Vishous would get a more interesting significant other but that‘s just me. 6y
MonthlyBookClub Noooo just so so? Did you like her others? This is the last book right? I love the rest of the series so much! 6y
Quirkybookworm I like the rest of the series. The Thief just came out couple months ago. There will be more but I didn't care too much for this one. I had high hope for this one. 6y

I really like all books about the Black Dagger Brotherhood. This one seemed to be a bridge story. I will be happy to see what comes next.

I really can‘t get enough of this series. I binged every book for the last two months. In this one there‘s concurrent relationship issues which are course corrected by the end - obvi - but still fun!

This book is a series. The books center around the BDB--- Black Dagger Brotherhood. This book has several important storylines going on. A new half-breed, marital discord, the Sanctuary, good vs. evil, and more. I highly recommend this book,however, it is not a stand-a-alone. Read the whole series! It is awesome.

#BookMail Pt3 is one of my guilty pleasures, The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R.Ward. The thief is Bk16 & unfortunately it‘s starting to take a Laurel.K.Hamilton slide into “silly soft porn” which is a bummer. Hopefully she manages to pull out of her tailspin & save her characters & readers. This book is about Assail & Sola. #nomoregratuitoussexscenesplease #credityourreaderswithsomeintelligence

julesG When/which book by LKHamilton started the slide into soft porn? Just do I am pre-warned. (Not that that ever kept me from reading the next book in a series anyway, which often ruined the whole series for me. Just mentioning Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlaine Harris.) 7y
Lizpixie @julesG The books after Obsidian Butterfly are when it starts to really take a high dive into porn. For awhile after, the books are still readable if you can deal with the sex, but lately it‘s been half plot/half full on polyamory heaven. 7y
julesG Thanks! I consider myself pre-warned. 7y

It wasn‘t my favourite of the series, but it was still a great read. I was so excited for Assail and Sola‘s book, making my one complaint that there wasn‘t enough of them. ☹️ I felt like it was more a V and Jane story, and they aren‘t my favourite characters... (Team Butch all the way😉). I do hope the Warden continues Assail and Sola‘s story, because I feel it‘s far from over.

This is the second BDB in a row I‘m bailing on, guess I‘ve officially quit the series. 👎🏼

theresidentromantic As someone about to start the series, I have questions. Do the get worse? The plot gets less believable? Worse written? All of that happened with Feehan's Carpathian series. The first 20 are great and then it's like she lost her mind. Are these worth reading at least the first half? 7y
Owlizabeth @theresidentromantic Basically, yes. They were always a guilty pleasure, but now I‘m just eye rolling and sighing over characters I don‘t care about. But this is recent for me. I think any series that has no end in sight gets like this (looking at you Laurell K Hamilton). 7y
theresidentromantic @Owlizabeth Got it, thanks! I'll keep it in mind. I couldn't even make it past book four with Laurell K Hamilton. Those books are their own circus lol 7y
Debiw781 I quit on Laurel K Hamilton when she produced that chunkster with all sex and very little plot- Obsidian mainly? I don‘t remember but it was awful and I was done at that point. 7y
freyaheart I'm stuck in the series too but a lot earlier. The books are just getting so long and dull. 7y

Only about a fourth of the way into this book right now but V is starting to get me PO'd. Looking back I was angry at the character quiet a bit in the previous BDB main story book (the Chosen) as well. I hope this isn't a new trend in these books.
