There's Something About Mary....

Another installment of the dark vampire series, Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward.

Here's the blurb for Lover Eternal:

In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there’s a deadly war raging between vampires and their slayers. And there exists a secret band of brothers like no other - six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Possessed by a deadly beast, Rhage is the most dangerous of the Black Dagger Brotherhood...

Within the brotherhood, Rhage is the vampire with the strongest appetites. He’s the best fighter, the quickest to act on his impulses, and the most voracious lover—for inside him burns a ferocious curse cast by the Scribe Virgin. Possessed by this dark side, Rhage fears the times when his inner dragon is unleashed, making him a danger to everyone around him.

Mary Luce, a survivor of many hardships, is unwittingly thrown into the vampire world and reliant on Rhage’s protection. With a life-threatening curse of her own, Mary is not looking for love. Her faith in miracles was lost years ago. But when Rhage’s intense animal attraction turns into something more emotional, he knows that he must make Mary his alone. And while their enemies close in, Mary fights desperately to gain life eternal with the one she loves…

You've already heard my spiel on how these books feel dark, gothic like, and something out of a Robert Rodriguez movie. OMGosh, I'm amazed on how addicting it can be... I really enjoyed this book, probably a little more than the first book of the series Dark Lover. The setting is dark (of course!), the characters are dark (of course!, they're Vampires) and main two, Rhage and Mary are great together.. Rhage is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her safe and well, and Mary is able to soothe him, something that no one else is able to do. We're also introduced to a few more characters: Bella, a female Vampire that has a thing for Z.; John Matthew a boy that is mute, who hasn't "turned" yet; O, a lesser that truly is a mental case, he just gives me the creeps.

Over all it was a great read, but I do have one complaint... At times I found the dialog repetitive. I really cannot stand "Do you feel me?", and I believe there were few in the book. Just a minor complaint...
