This is the 7th book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. The focus of this book is on Rehvenge and Ehlena. In the first 14 chapters, we start with finding out that some of the glymera would like to see Wrath dead so the power would all be in their hands. Wrath is fighting again but most don't know including Beth. Ehlena is caring for her father mostly alone. They used to be part of the glymera but have fallen far. She works at Haver's clinic..

TheSpineView ...as a nurse. Xhex learns that one of her working girls was murdered by her boyfriend. She plans on hunting him down and killing him and she has Rehvenge's approval. We find out that Rehv has a code of ethics when it comes to his employees. Lash is in charge of the lessers and discovers that money is in short supply. He has a plan to recruit people to sell drugs to make money. Elena is Rehv's nurse when he goes to Havers for more dopamine. 19h
TheSpineView Rehv gives her his business card. Ehlena has a date after work but is stood up. She thinks it is for the best since she needs to concentrate on her father's care. Wrath comes clean about fighting with both Beth and the brothers. Beth is passed. The brothers are concerned about Wrath fighting, but their numbers are small. Phury is also going start to fighting again. @PageShifter @Laughterhp @julesG @ShananigansReads @DuckOfDoom @InkedBookworm13 19h
TheSpineView @tdrosebud @CoverToCoverGirl @StayCurious @BooksNBowls @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks. Some of my thoughts are: How will Wrath's lie by ommission their relationship? Since they are so short on brothers, how long will it be before Qhuinn, John and Blay are inducted in? 18h
julesG Nice typo. 😉 I get that Beth is pissed, because she's even more concerned than the brothers. She could lose a part of her. If I were in her shoes, I'd want to see him train with as many fighters as are willing to take him on. Just to know he's fit. But she might wonder what else he's not sharing and that means they need to talk it out. 11h
julesG The Brotherhood needs more manpower. Maybe even womanpower. I'm sure Q, J, B will soon join. 11h

I loved to get to know more about V's past, and I really loved Jane who was smart and sassy. There were also so many scenes showing what happened to other characters in the series and there is still so much coming!

I am not 100 % what I think about the ending and things that happened there. But this was a compelling read.

I enjoyed getting another look into Zsadist. I was glad that he finally had someone to talk to about the horrors he faced while a slave. Phury could have benefited from therapy too. I also like how Wrath described the feelings of a bonded male. It explains a lot of the possessiveness, dedication and fierceness the vampires display over mates.

Laughterhp I totally forgot to read this one in December. 2w
ShananigansReads The heartbreak I felt for Z when the laser removal didn‘t work. (It did not lesson as a reread) He handled it so beautifully. It shows how far he has come. I also love his relationship with Nalla, once he allowed it. She is totally a daddy‘s girl. 2w
julesG @TheSpineView I agree, Phury should get therapy too. Well, they all could. 2w
julesG @ShananigansReads He was willing to take the chance and get the tattoos removed. Even though it didn't work, it shows how much he has grown. 2w
TheSpineView @julesG Yes, all of them have some sort of issue. 2w
TheSpineView @Laughterhp No worries. 2w
