This wraps up book three of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Starting with chapter 39, Mr. U is made the fore-lessor. Bella asks Rehvenge to come home. She tells him that she went through her needing and is in love with the brother but he doesn't want her. Now Mr. O is back in charge. (Did you get whiplash?) Bella is sent to stay with Havers and Marissa. While John is practicing Lash lands a dirty blow that Z witnesses. Z tells Lash that he remove..

TheSpineView ..his eyes if he ever tries something like that again. Then Z sends a message to all the trainees John is under his protection. Mr. O breaks into Bella's family house and sees the memorial. He is now convinced she is dead. Mr. O tells Wellsie and abducts Sarelle. Butch takes Phury to Havers to get payched up. While there, he feeds from Bella. Marissa tries to get Butch to "call on her" and he refuses. Mr. O sets up a meeting with Z using Sarelle 2mo
TheSpineView ..as leverage. Wrath and the brothers tell Tohr that Wellsie is dead. He disappears and John is devastated. Z gets Wrath's permission to average Bella and Wellsie. Z knows it is a suicide mission. Phury drugs Z so he can take his place. When he drank from Bella he discovered she is pregnant. He wants Z to live and be a father.

TheSpineView #BDBBookClub #BDBBuddyRead #BDB A lot went on in these final chapters. I feel sorry for John Matthew. He just can't catch a break. He needs a hug. I didn't see the point in the change of leadership in the Lessors. Maybe Ward is trying to show how unstable the society is??? Looking forward to the next book and also excited to get to John Matthew 's book. 2mo
ShananigansReads I had forgotten the whole climax of this book so it was a bit like reading it for the first time again. This is such a hard story but it ends with so much love. Also I love John Matthew so much. 2mo
TheSpineView @ShananigansReads I didn't remember a lot of details. I did remember that Wellsie was killed and I still cried. So sad😢 2mo
ShananigansReads @TheSpineView Yes, Wellsie was the one thing I did remember (and Tor‘s reaction) but I had the situation all wrong. 🤦🏾‍♀️ 2mo
TheSpineView @ShananigansReads I had forgotten how Z stood up for John. I loved how he never said a word but he left no doubt with the trainees that John was under his protection. I think this scene was in the book to show how Z was changing. 2mo
ShananigansReads @TheSpineView yesss!! Z truly evolved in this story 2mo
julesG Z really changed and I loved it. And it took time and wasn't insta-180° like in so many other romance novels. I'm still furious about Wellsie's death. That felt like death of a character in a soap opera who wants to leave the show, so sudden, so (imo) unnecessary. 2mo

Chapters 27 - 38 began with Bella and Zsadist finally being intimate. Zsadist feels like he is dirty and will make Bella dirty. He has a breakdown and relives when Phury rescues him. Zsadist denies to Phury that he has bonded with her. He thinks Phury is the right make for her. Bella enters her needing. Zsadist services her but offers her the option of being drugged, which she declines. Butch takes John to his...

TheSpineView ..first therapy appointment. As they are leaving Butch sees Marissa get in a car with Rehvenge. Marissa goes to Rehvenge's condo to drink from him. Mr. O finds out the address of Bella's family house. He drives by the house and sees the black ribbons on the gate and knows it is for mourning. V admits to Phury that he has not had any visions in 3 days and can't hear others' thoughts. Zsadist realizes he loves Bella. 2mo
TheSpineView The Reverand gets Phury to admit he is in the Brotherhood. Bella knows Zsadist needs to feed and goes to find him. She inadvertently insults Zsadist in front of the brothers a d Z storms out. Bella apologies to the brothers and tells them she loves him. Bella finds Z downtown feeding from a human female. Z thinks it is the best for Bella if he drives her away. @PageShifter @Laughterhp @julesG @ShananigansReads @DuckOfDoom @tdrosebud 2mo

TheSpineView I'm enjoying the series. However, I wish we would learn how each of the brothers got recruited into the Brotherhood. Were they all from warrior bloodlines? 2mo
julesG I think in one of the books it says that the Brothers had to come from warrior bloodlines. But looking at the dwindling numbers the Brotherhood should change some of its rules. 2mo
TheSpineView @julesG Agree. Also, what about halfbreeds? 2mo
julesG Well, they made Butch a brother, so non-warrior bloodlines and halfbreeds should be accepted too. In one of the next books there's a part about how the inbreeding (pure bloods, warriors+chosen=chosen/brothers) has caused problems already and to protect the race they'd need fresh blood [it's on the chosen-side, when the handicapped chosen in black robes is introduced(?)] - guess vampire high society has the same problems as the royal/noble... 2mo
julesG ... families of Europe had. Too much inbreeding damaged the bloodlines and caused all kinds of hereditary problems to come to the fore. 2mo
TheSpineView @julesG Hopefully, with Wrath on the throne now things will change. His children will not be full-blooded warriors. Beth is at least half human so any children can at best be only 3/4 vampire. 2mo

Mr O is now the fore-lessor and Mr U is his 2nd in command. (Something tells me that will not go well) Bella needs to feed but only wants Zsadist. Though it kills him, Zsadist thinks she needs to feed from Phury. After much back and forth Bella does feed from Zsadist. Zsadist and Bella kiss for the first time. Bella learns more about his abuse.
John has his first day at training. John is not feeling it.

TheSpineView Phury learns that the owner of Screamers, the Reverand, is a symphath. Butch thinks Phury is gay and asks him while they are playing pool. No, not gay but pining after Bella even though he knows Bella has chosen Zsadist. We find out how Phury lost his leg when he rescued Zsadist. Mr. O is watching Bella's house and he daydreams about " his wife" and how he can make her a lessor. (he has totally lost his mind). Havers tells John that he is a full.. 3mo

Bella's brother, Rehvenge, will stop at nothing to get her back home. Something is wrong with Rehvenge because he has to take a drug to function. Tohr tells Zsadist that Rehvenge has asked Wrath to make Bella his ward. Bella is not happy about this when she finds out. Bella realizes she loves Zsadist. 3mo

At the opening of Lover Awakened, book 3, it has been 6 weeks since Bella was captured. Most think her dead. Mr. O is keeping her and calling her his wife. He has even brought her a male vampire to drink from. Bella helps the male escape while Mr. O is distracted. The Brotherhood and Bella's fanily now know she is alive. A plan is made and Bella is rescued. We learn more about Zsadist's time as a blood slave.

TheSpineView Zsadist takes Bella to his room. He is acting like a bonded made and others are noticing. Phury is also attracted to Bella. Tohr takes John to meet Wrath, when Beth comes in the room it causes John to pass out. John goes to Havers then later home and meets Sarelle. She tells John that she thinks Tohr and Wellsie want her to be the one John drinks from during his transition. @PageShifter @Laughterhp @julesG @ShananigansReads @DuckOfDoom 3mo

julesG Butch's thoughts about Phury. His looks and that he'd be "a Nancy" if it wasn't for his fighting skills. ? That part didn't age well. 3mo
TheSpineView @julesG He is a total fruitcake. 3mo
TheSpineView @julesG Totally 3mo
julesG Had to continue with the audiobook, nearly at halfway point. 3mo
TheSpineView @julesG I did the same. I feel sorry for Zsadist. He reminds me of some I knew when I was young that struggled with an eating disorder. She said she felt like eating was the only thing she could control. I think that is, at least part of, the reason Zsadist deprives himself. 3mo
julesG Yes, I think that's his reason. But I also think he's punishing himself so much for what happened to him although it was all out of his control. He's not to blame for what happened. He needs to realise it. 3mo
julesG I think they all could benefit from a few sessions with a therapist. 3mo
TheSpineView @julesG He does have a lot of guilt and Phury's guilt is probably not helping him either. Even if it is just subconsciously, I think when he see Phury's guilt it reaffirms his. In other words, if Phury has guilt then it is OK to feel guilty too. Therapy would do them all good. 3mo

Continuing with my series reread, this is my favorite of the series! Zsadist is a “broken boy” who is redeemed by Bella‘s love. I love this trope. Zsadist was a blood slave a few centuries ago, and has carried shame and self-loathing his entire life. As a result, he‘s pretty miserable to be around. Until Bella crosses his path and his cold heart begins to melt and experience love for the first time. Love, love, love this one.

This book was originally one of my favourites of the series (back when there were only 6 books). Zsadist has always been one of my favourite characters from this series, but this time through I love the entire brotherhood. I‘m not sure I can pick a favourite. Z is certainly up there though with his past, and his strength to eventually push through it all. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics I didn‘t remember so much of this book, but all those details made the book even better than I remembered it. How fitting I should finish this book on the birthday of the person who first introduced me to this series back in 2009. #jrward #BlackDaggerBrotherhood #LoverAwakened 3y

I‘m so excited to revisit Z and Bella. This is one of the few of the first six books I remember something about. I know there is a lot I don‘t remember too, though. Third of the six books where the audiobook doesn‘t match the ebook at all, but at least this one somewhat relates to the ebook cover as well. #jrward #BlackDaggerBrotherhood #LoverAwakened

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is my favorite book out of the series so far! It was so good! I loved the healing that Zsadist has to go through. I love the relationship between Zsadist and Bella. This book was heartbreaking as well since something bad happens to a character. Mr. O is just a psychopath and made a great villain. This was just great and I cannot wait to carry on more with this series.

Z is now my favorite of the brothers. To be fair that is now the third time I‘ve change my mind on who is my favorite so chances are it will change again. These books are amazing JR Ward creates characters that are so floored and well human that you can‘t help but suffer with them. The story such you in and drags you along kicking and screaming.

I've only read the first three books of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, and this has to be my favorite! This was my second read and I loved it still!
The tragic tale of Zhadist had me yearning to give him a hug. It was so sad to hear about his past. I was so happy that Bella came into his picture. They were perfect for each other.

#tattoo makes me think of Zsadist who was kidnapped by his nanny when he was 7 months old and when she died sold into slavery... His mistress kept him in a cell ready to use for blood or sex with her or other males... His brother Phury found him after a century and he later added body piercings and slave band tattoos because he liked the pain... 😱😰He later fell in love with Bella ❤️
