TheSpineView If you want to be added or removed from the tag list, let me know. What are your initial thoughts? I definitely like the world building and the characters. The plot moves fast and with the way the book opens it captures your attention quickly. 17h

PageShifter Thanks for the recap! I have read this some time ago, but I remeber the attack! 1h

repost for @TheSpineView:

I hope everyone is ready to read, or reread, this series. The first book is Dark Lover. The book is 393 pages and 45 chapters with an epilogue. Roughly 1.5 chapters a day or 11.5 a week. I am planning to do a summary/questions at the end of each week. I am also thinking about giving away some swag after we finish the first book

Dark Lover | J. R. Ward

June is right around the corner. I hope everyone is ready to read, or reread, this series. The first book is Dark Lover. It is the story of Beth and Wrath, the king of the race and the only full bloodied vampire alive. The book is 393 pages and 45 chapters with an epilogue. Roughly 1.5 chapters a day or 11.5 a week. I am planning to do a summary/questions at the end of each week to start and see how that works. I am also thinking about giving..

TheSpineView ...away some swag after we finish the first book. Each time you participate it earns you an entry so don't forget to tag me in your posts. My library has most of the books; therefore, I hope you don't have any trouble getting a copy. I did look on Amazon and the Kindle USD price is 8.99.

After reading Darius, I wanted to revisit the first book in the series to reacquaint myself with all the characters so I can finish the series. I have read as far as book 17. Enjoyed this just as much as the first time. Looking forward to TV series/movie. I read that filming starts this year. 5⭐️
