Description

Destiny, duty, and desire clash in this epic new novel in J.R. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

Lassiter, the fallen angel, is too good at the savior business. In his new role overseeing the fates of all vampires, he’s influenced outcomes he shouldn’t have—so the Creator is calling him home. But the angel has a reason to stay in Caldwell. He’s bonded with a mysterious female who seemed to appear from out of nowhere...and has powers that defy all reason.

Rahvyn is well aware that she doesn’t belong in the present. And she never intended to stay, for her true place is in the past. Lassiter proves to be undeniable, however, and she lets herself fall for the angel—until a secret he’s been keeping comes out and she fears that for him, it’s not about love, but duty.

As the Omega’s son reestablishes the Lessening Society, and the Brotherhood must resume the deadly war, an unfathomable tragedy occurs. In the aftermath, Rahvyn has to decide whether to stay and help—or save herself from an immortal heartbreak she knows will crush her very soul...

    First there were too many sub plots, but that was what made things interesting you could not tell what was coming next. It was an emotional roller coaster ride till the very end. I can’t wait for what is next.

    What a story. This is another JR Ward masterpiece. As with Black Dagger Brotherhood books, there are numerous storylines being addressed at Any one time, but the main story of this book is that of Lassiter, the fallen angel who has taken on the responsibilities of the Scribe Virgin, and Rahvyn, Sahvage’s cousin who appeared during the last book in this series. At the end of the last book, it appears that their love story would never be told as both Lassiter and Rahvyn part forever. However circumstances arise in this novel that bring the two of them back together. The reader gets to know Lassiter in a completely different way than he has been portrayed during this series. In a separate storyline from last book, the demon Davina had completed a spell to conjure up someone to love her, and she brings Lash, son of the Omega, back from Dunnit. Unfortunately, he begins to initiate new members of the Lessening Society and suddenly the war is back on again. This story is pretty emotional with some exhilarating highs and devastating lows. JR Ward is extremely skilled at crafting a complex story, weaving various threads through each novel that all come together by the conclusion. As usual, I was consumed by this audiobook from beginning to end. I was completely unprepared for the turn the story takes at the end. I definitely recommend this audiobook to fans of the series and the entire series to readers who have not read it before. I believe it is one of the those highly original stand-out series that shouldn’t be missed.

    Ward has such a way of making each character come to life with very unique personalities & the ability to create a story line that is unpredictable. I have had MANY favorites through out this series BUT this one…this one tops them all!!

    What a wolf ride. If you are a fan of the series, you have grown to love Lassiter and this book was a culmination of everything we have been looking for. The author gave us a story of finding love and allowing yourself to give and receive love in spite of the horrible things that have happened. She taught us that we are not the things that were done to us but instead are still worthy of being loved and should love ourselves. Lassiter and Rahvyn had an instant love that was far faster than any of the other couples. They didn’t fight the connection but instead caught with outside sources. This book had me bawling, heartbroken in my room. When it seemed like all was lost, the author gave us a future to look forward to after lose. This book is one of the best and has become a favorite of mine.
  • Wow! Just wow!

    Loved this book even as it broke my heart. Wish it was 200 or 300 pages longer. Cannot wait to see the direction JR Ward takes this series, just wish she would write faster because I hate waiting!

    THIS BOOK!!!!!! I read it as slow as possible and still finished it in a day. As always this books is awesome but the way she wrote the book with all the tie ins - she surpassed the highest bar she has ever set! The attention to detail and thought I to the I intertwined storylines is second to none. And loved the white board debacle made it into the book too!!!! All the feels and I do mean all of them. Love abounds on so many levels with heartbreak and healing on just as many!! This book is a must read and can’t wait for the next book!!!!
