Phury, Zsadist's twin brother and a vampire in the Black Dagger Brotherhood, makes the ultimate sacrifice and stands in for a fellow brother to become the chosen - one who will save the brotherhood's bloodlines. Tormented by the love he has for his twin's mate, he devotes his passion to the higher good of his race and forbids himself from being distracted by a romantic relationship. The war with the Lessening society is graver than ever, and the brothers need the few warriors they have to fight. Phury is resigned never to divert himself with love or put his brothers in jeopardy, until he comes face to face with the only woman who can tempt his heart and make him question his chosen destiny...

I am a HUGE fan of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series and it felt like forever before this book was published. Arrived in the post yesterday and was immediately devoured (even though I was in the middle of another book, I just couldn't wait). For lovers of this series, you won't be disappointed, J.R. Ward hasn't lost a step with this 6th book, and once again her witty, emotive, give-it-to-you-straight style of writing shines through and brings her amazing characters to life for her readers. I'm not going to give away the plot in this review (if you want to know the outline, read the blurb from the publisher), just suffice it to say, it was another extraordinary literary experience and I am now (again) waiting impatiently for the next installment. Fans will adore it and for those of you who haven't read any books in this series - what are you waiting for!
Okay, I’m sorry, impale me now, but I was a little bored by this novel. Just a little. And then the good stuff happened [for you long-term readers I’ll just mention Tohr], and I came to admire Ward’s writing even more, with it’s depth of compassion and description, so by the end ‘Lover Enshrined’ had become one of my favourites. If you haven’t read the series in order, sorry, you really should. For those in the know, too much will spoil the plot, but it’s all about Phury, who has become the Primale, which means he is supposed to father the next generation of warriors. Trouble is, his drug addiction is off the scale, and if that’s not bad enough, his heart belongs to one of the Chosen, so how’s he supposed to bed them all? Sounds too feminie or angsty for you gritty-urban-fantasy readers? No way. Battles and blood and death and gore and bad guys who might be good and vice versa, and none f it just for the sake of gore. Ward’s world is brilliantly conceived and drawn, the characters individual, and the storyline—well, it’s fascinating where this is leading.
This book seemed to take forever before it was released. The Black Dagger Brotherhood is one of my favourite series of books and I am always going back and rereading the other books when I get a chance. I love that the book as well as having the main story, in this case Phury and Cormia, also has the story with all the members of the Brotherhood and some minor characters, that hopefully will have their own story in the future. I am already haning out for the next one in the series.
If you want to start following a new sering of books, then this is the one.
I believe that this book is one of the best int he series. It does get to you with Phury's attitude towards not blaming himself for the situation he is in, but in the end he comes right and starts taking responsibility for himself. I particularly like seeing more about Revhenge as you don't know much about him through the other books an now you can Know why he isn't part of the brotherhood.
You will also find out more about John, Quinn and Blaylock. This book is very amusing in some places and very heartfelt at the end.
If J R Ward was to write another book for this series, I hope it is about Revhenge.
