Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward (Piatkus books)
Lover Awakened is the third book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R Ward. I'm jumping in the middle here because I won't be able to review the entire series, because really, there's only so much to say…
What I can say is that I enjoyed this series. A little too much actually.
The Brothers are warrior vampires, a race apart really, fiercely guarding the civilian vampires against the sweet smelling, pale haired lesser who are bent on destroying the vampire race.
Each book deals with a different Brother's story. Lover Awakened is about Zsadist, the frighteningly cold vampire whose soul is as scarred and twisted as his brutal face. It's the third book in the series (I started with the second one which covered Rhage's story) and Ms Ward has her vampire world firmly established.
Zsadist was captured as a blood slave and kept in captivity for over a century by an evil rich vampire bitch, who abused and degraded him physically and mentally.
Now it is rumoured that Zsadist kills females for sport… but Bella, a daughter of the vampire aristocracy, is inexplicably drawn to Zsadist's dark charms. And she believes her love can heal his spirit.
Don't expect literary genius – but do expect the pages to burn your fingers! Zsadist finds redemption – mostly through rocking sex! Hurray!
