We're continuing to follow Daniel and Lydia as they deal with some hard stuff as a couple. And morally grey characters are all about. Fun, fun. Saying more would only spoil things. My heart was happy to see some BDB favorites crossover into The Lair of the Wolven once more. I am so looking forward to future books in this world....more

I love how the love between Kane and Nadya developed while she cared for his injuries. That they'd seen each others worst parts and looked past the physical imperfections at the souls of each. There was so much more that transpired intersecting with the Black Dagger Brotherhood and the wolven. I'm so excited to see where the core storylines go next....more
For me this was a great sequel. A story line with Lassiter that I have been waiting for over a decade to read. Ever since I finished the Fallen Angel For me this was a great sequel. A story line with Lassiter that I have been waiting for over a decade to read. Ever since I finished the Fallen Angel Series. If you know, you know, and I'll say no more in case others wish to read that, or are currently reading that... because spoilers! In this 21st BDB book, we are experiencing Lassiter in love, but how long will it last, with the Creator calling the fallen angel home? What will Rahvyn do when she discovers he did a bad thing for a good reason? Meanwhile there is the issue of the double demon occupation, the scent of baby powder in the air, and a plot to end the Blind King... Omg! I wept, 4 times... but none of those tears ...more

I'm looking forward to those imprisoned unjustly to be freed, and I have theories and hopes. Lucan is still someone we barely know anything about.

However, it was good in that way that only Ward can write it... This felt like a building up to something big bad kinda story (Hopefully where a badguy gets dusted Forever!), and in the end we're left with a whole lot of questions to be answered. First let's chat about Lydia & Daniel... I almost want to call it slow burning... these two are so hot for each other but the hands off thing, was... I was like, "Dang it! Just do the thing!" I liked the side characters such as Candy, Eastwind, and even C.P. ...maybe... I love that a BDB character is going to be closely connected at some point! Xhex! Yes! She's so bada$$!! Looking forward to Book#2 Summer 2022!...more

My heart was aching for my favorite fictional found family, and then it was warmed by them. There were times I was laughing out loud... I am so glad I saved this for my December layoff reading. There was a lot happening in this book, but Ward is in my opinion so masterful in twining parallel stories, and creating connection at just the right moment. Things could really be easy, yet Ward creates just enough struggle before reacting an outcome. And then there is Lassiter... my angel... the weight of so much on his shoulders...more

This story is one where Nyx is seeking her imprisoned sister... only what she finds what she finds is both passion & heartbreak, and something so much more. She naively believes she'll easily attain her mission, but soon has to face a hard truth. The Jackal has been incarcerated with in the underground vampire prison camp for a century, and when he meets Nyx... in her arms he is free of the nightmares, if only for a few hours... It will take almost all he has left to help her find her sister, and then help her get out alive. There are connections to the Black Dagger Brotherhood that just made my heart sigh. Dang it, I adore that series, and any spin off I get! ...more
