Critic reviews

"Narrator Jim Frangione portrays vampires Blay and Qhuinn as they prepare for their mating ceremony. Qhuinn goes on an emotional journey, starting with his dark past and proceeding to his joy with Blay, followed by a tragic loss. Frangione's voice has listeners experiencing the roller-coaster ride. As a snowstorm rages, Frangione adds to the tension as trees crash down and the house plunges into darkness. Blay and Qhuinn are part of the Black Dagger Brotherhood that protects the vampire race. Frangione provides the Brothers with distinct voices, allowing the listener to easily follow who is speaking. Listeners will be fully engaged with all the characters." (AudioFile Magazine)

Loved this addition to the series. Blay and Quinn are my favorite couple. It was nice to hear their continued love story.

A Warm Heart = Love

The connection between loss, love, and finding one’s self are solid themes in this tale. 💖 Ms. Ward gets me every time. This is a wonderful addition to the BDB series.

Solid story

If you know the series, then you know this couple is a fan favorite. I liked it and it had a good HEA. prior to this book, I have to say, I don't love one of the main characters, though, darn you J.R. Ward, I don't dislike the character nearly as much as i did previously. Through the book, it helped me ake peace with him. It was not the easiest book to read, but worth while.

Finally!

Like everyone else this was much anticipated for me. i was not disappointed. It could be read as stand alone but much better within the series.

True Love Prevails!

The heart is a fragile thing. But true love is strong. This story shows us that in all its permutations: parental live, sibling love, friendship, and strongest of all true live for your partner.

Better than I expected

I've never been a big fan of the pairing of Qhuinn and Blay, so I wasn't too keen on listening to this one. Needless to say, I was happy to find I enjoyed the story. It definitely filled in some blanks from the last couple of the main books. I think I enjoyed Zsadist's role in their story the most. Bitty and the littles were adorable as always. Absolutely loved Lassiser!
