À propos de cet audio

The first novel of J. R. Ward's New York Times best-selling Black Dagger Brotherhood series features a unique take on vampire lore and heavy doses of sensuality.

The vampire Darius fears for the life of his half-breed daughter, who is unaware of her unusual destiny. To oversee her transformation, Darius seeks help from Wrath, a dangerous loner and the world's only purebred vampire.

I had a ridiculous amount of fun with this book. It is packed with cliches, melodrama, insta-love, and sometimes ridiculous dialogue. But that didn't mean it wasn't a ton of fun to listen to.

From the very beginning, I knew this book would be over-the-top and way too serious for its own good. All you need to do are look at and listen to the names of the Brotherhood. Most of them are a little two-dimensional, a problem that affects most of the characters. As a character, Beth is a little unbalanced at times. Wrath and Butch are overbearing alpha males. It took a long, long time for me to soften toward them.

The plot does have some stakes and the world has its complexities, but most of the twists were things I could have seen coming from a mile away. The villains were just as over-the-top and thin as the heroes. Most of what I enjoyed honestly came from the Brothers interacting with Wrath, even though Wrath was being far too aggressive for most of the book.

As for the romance, it did have some hot moments and most of the descriptions were sensual, but some were weird. The prose itself was fine for urban fantasy and stuck true to the internal thought of the characters, though there were a few moments where I caught myself giggling. Rhage and the stables, anyone?

Honestly though, I rated this book so high because it did what it was supposed to do: Give me a good time. For all the flaws and nitpicks I listed, I absolutely understand why this series is so popular. It's melodramatic, curse-filled, testosterone-rampant fun. If you don't take it seriously and just allow yourself to read/listen to an adventure filled with sexy vampires, you are going to have a good time. And sometimes that's all you need.

Melodramatic Fun
