TheSpineView I think there are two more books before we get to the book dedicated to Blay and Quinn. It will be worth the wait. 3w

This is one of my favorites in the series. I love John Matthew and was so happy we finally got his and Xhex's story. Sometimes the subplots can over power the main plot but not this time. I also liked that we found out more about Xhex, Darius and Thorment. Still a lot of threads that I know we will follow as the series progresses. This was 5⭐️s for me. #BDB #BDBBuddyRead #BDBBookClub

TheSpineView Did you think this wrapped up some unanswered questions appropriately? It seems like it took the other brothers hundreds of years to find their partner. Do you feel John is a bit young, especially considering the Vampire lifespan? I also wondered if Xhex being only 1/2 vampire, would her blood be strong enough to sustain John? Your thoughts? @julesG @ShananigansReads @InkedBookworm13 4w

ShananigansReads I had completely forgotten the Thor/Darius part. I have more questions but about different characters. This world just gets more and more involved. I don‘t think the age gap between JM and Xhex is any different than the other brothers and their Shellens. 4w

julesG @ShananigansReads The "age gap" is just the other way round this time. 4w

julesG The way I understand the blood thing is that vampire blood contains something that human blood doesn't. Xhex isn't a human, she's part vampire and part 'vampire adjacent' - sympaths(sp?) feed off each other too, don't they? Beth is a half-vampire, but she can feed Wrath without problems. Same goes for John, he's a half-vampire and Xhex doesn't have a problem with his blood. 4w

julesG The Murdher/Eliahu Rathboone subplot was unnecessary. It gave Xhex closure in the end when she found out that Murdher was still alive. Yet, it distracted from the main plot since up to that closure point it just didn't make sense or fit into the story. 4w

InkedBookworm13 @TheSpineView I don't think he's too young. Thor found Wellsie right away. She fed him during his transition so it definitely happens. I do think Xhex being half sympath effects her blood though. I know with Wrath he has to feed from full blooded Vampires sometimes when he's really hurt because Beth's blood isn't enough. 4w

So apparently this series is being adapted and this is a promo picture? I honestly don't know if it's fake. It's really giving 2005 fanedit

If it's real I'm gonna watch the hell out of it because it looks terrible

ETA: Maybe not, the production company is owned by Tosca Musk (Elon Musk's sister) and she shares some of his beliefs

ShananigansReads It‘s not fake. The casting is terrible. I‘m just praying they can actually act. 4w

PuddleJumper @ShananigansReads I actually don't know if that is better or worse 😅 It looks so 2000s and cheap. 4w

ShananigansReads I‘m very scared, but I‘m still going to watch. 4w

PuddleJumper @ShananigansReads I'll watch through gifs on Tumblr, might help with the cringe. I'm surprised at how low key it's been. I haven't heard of the production company before though so maybe they haven't done any international releases 4w

Nessavamusic It‘s real and on Passionflix, it looks so bad yet I may end up subscribing to watch 6d

PuddleJumper @Nessavamusic People seem to be really enjoying it from what I've seen! I've only seen gifs so no idea what the acting is like 6d

I was updating my Black Dagger Brotherhood collection today and my husband asked about my labels. I explained this series is extremely long and has spinoff books but they don't come numbered so instead of looking it up, I just numbered them myself. He asked why the books didn't come numbered
Good question. Does anybody else do this to series that arent numbered on them? And why don't they number long series on the spines?

5feet.of.fury I have never had to do that but that‘s very clever & this series‘s layout seems really confusing! 1mo

Ruthiella The publisher might want to grab that reader who does not know the book is a part of a series. 🤔 1mo

A quick reminder, in June, we will be reading, or as the case may be rereading, Lover Unleashed book 9 in the series. This book is about Payne, Vishous's sister, and Manuel Manello (Manny) the human doctor. I'm sure we will get some of the other characters' stories too. Looking forward to getting back to this world.
@LitsyEvents @julesG @ShananigansReads @InkedBookworm13

julesG Audiobook is ready to be re-read. 😉 1mo

TheSpineView @julesG I'm ready too. Have you watched the trailer yet for the movie? 1mo

julesG Yes. I'm underwhelmed. But that's definitely a me-thing. I expected more muscles and taller guys. Which is ridiculous, because we know how tall they are.🤦🏻‍♀️ 1mo

TheSpineView @julesG I read that the Casting call requirement was actors at least 6'. I guess there are not many that are 6' 7" and above. 1mo

julesG Actors tend to be on the shorter side. ??‍♀️ My son's 6'6" should have sent him. ?? He'd make a great vampire with a mean accent. 1mo

TheSpineView @julesG Totally! Wouldn't it be fun to see him in a costume as one of the brothers. He got the tall gene. 1mo
