Blood Kiss by J.R. WardMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book. However if you have not read the original Black Dagger Brotherhood (BDB) series then this book will make absolutely no sense (If you haven't read The Shadows, BDB #13) then not only will you be completely lost, but there will be major spoilers).
This definitely had the same kind of feel to it as the first of the BDB series, as it not only focuses on the reopening of the training program and the new trainees, but also the original Brothers and their relationships; in this case Butch and Marissa. The trainees that this book focuses on are introduced in The Shadows (BDB #13), so if you haven't read the series up to this point the you won't understand where the fascination that Paradise has for Craeg started. I really like Paradise as a character. I like that she is stubborn and is willing to make her own choices, even if they go against what is expected of her and her upbringing. I think Craeg is an interesting character, but I feel like there is still more to him that we don't know about yet.
I like there there was a bit of a murder mystery hing going on in the background. I think that it helped everything feel cohesive. It brought together what was going on between the trainees with the storyline between Butch and Marissa.
This was a really good book that I highly recommend if you are a fan of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series (and have read them up to date). It'll be interesting to see if these new characters make cameo appearances or get mentioned in future BDB books.
Totally worth reading.
