I enjoyed getting another look into Zsadist. I was glad that he finally had someone to talk to about the horrors he faced while a slave. Phury could have benefited from therapy too. I also like how Wrath described the feelings of a bonded male. It explains a lot of the possessiveness, dedication and fierceness the vampires display over mates. 2w

Laughterhp I totally forgot to read this one in December. 2w

ShananigansReads The heartbreak I felt for Z when the laser removal didn‘t work. (It did not lesson as a reread) He handled it so beautifully. It shows how far he has come. I also love his relationship with Nalla, once he allowed it. She is totally a daddy‘s girl. 2w

julesG @TheSpineView I agree, Phury should get therapy too. Well, they all could. 2w

julesG @ShananigansReads He was willing to take the chance and get the tattoos removed. Even though it didn't work, it shows how much he has grown. 2w

TheSpineView @julesG Yes, all of them have some sort of issue. 2w

TheSpineView @Laughterhp No worries. 2w

Lover Avenged: A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood | J.R. Ward

#BDBBuddyRead #BDBBookClub #BDB

Lover Avenged is the next book we will be reading in January. This is Rehvenge's story though I am sure we will get more on the other characters too. It is 527 pages long and has 74 chapters which means reading roughly 2.5 chapters a day or 17 pages a day. My reading schedule will be: Week one - read 18 chapters, week two - 18 chapters, week 3 - 19 chapters and the remaining chapters the last week of January. Enjoy

TheSpineView Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the tag list. @PageShifter @Laughterhp @julesG @ShananigansReads @DuckOfDoom @InkedBookworm13 @tdrosebud @CoverToCoverGirl @StayCurious @BooksNBowls @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 3w

TheSpineView I hope everyone enjoyed Father Fine. It was a quick read. Open discussion will start in a couple of days. 3w

SpeculativeFemale Oh, I started this series years ago and kind of lost track at some point. I should really go back and read more of them eventually. Always too many books and too little time! 3w

TheSpineView @PageShifter @Laughterhp @julesG @ShananigansReads @DuckOfDoom @InkedBookworm13 @tdrosebud @CoverToCoverGirl @StayCurious @BooksNBowls @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I think it was high time that there was a change regarding the Chosen. Also, regarding Payne, how can you keep someone locked away? Lots of loose ends here. I know there is more to come with regards to John, Tohr, Qhuin and Blay. Will we start getting to know Payne? This has me excited. 2mo
