Book Blurb

The third book in the series tells the story of the vampire Zsadist, a former blood slave with a violent past. When he meets Bella, Zsadist thinks her human love could be his path to salvation. Then Bella is kidnapped, and Zsadist will stop at nothing to get her back.

My Thoughts

This story is about Zsadist and of course the Brotherhood as a whole. When i first met Z he was a little scary. He didn't talk much to even the brothers, and they tended to avoid him. But as his story progressed and you learned more about him, it all came into focus why he didn't want to get close to people. Z has an instant attraction/pull towards Bella, and she to him. When Bella is kidnapped Z flips out and doesn't give up.

I have come to love Z. He definitely grows on you. He has been through so much and has so much baggage that he doesn't think there is anyway that Bella would really want him and think that he is handsome. I like Z and Bella together, and there story is just so awesome.

Book Blurb

Mary Luce is dissatisfied with her life and her job. But when she is unwittingly thrust into the vampire dominion, everything changes. Falling under the protection of the Brotherhood's strongest member, Rhage, she soon finds herself drawn to his animalistic urges.

My Thoughts

This is the second book in the series. I would definitely recommend that they be read in order, they have a progression that goes through the books that if read out of order wouldn't make very much sense. This book is about Rhage and the beast that lives within him. Rhage comes off as a player in these first two books. Which i was turned off by to begin with. After reading his story and experiencing everything that he goes through, i found him growing on me. His character and all the others in this book are very well developed and they just pull you in.

Very well written, I was even crying at parts. Would definitely recommend this series to others.
