Get Me Off The Shelf! Lover Avenged

 *Get Me Off The Shelf* is a meme hosted on Thursday's by Sherri's fik*tish*uhs Reviews. The aim of this meme is to showcase books that you own but haven't yet got around to reading.


My Pick:

Lover Avenged (Black Dagger Brotherhood #7)
by J. R. Ward

Blurb:

Caldwell, New York, has long been the battleground for the vampires and their enemies, the Lessening Society. It's also where Rehvenge has staked out his turf as a drug lord and owner of a notorious night club that caters to the rich and heavily armed. His shadowy reputation is exactly why he's approached to kill Wrath, the Blind King and leader of the Brotherhood.

Rehvenge has always kept his distance from the Brotherhood-even though his sister is married to a member, for he harbors a deadly secret that could make him a huge liability in their war against the lessers. As plots within and outside of the Brotherhood threaten to reveal the truth about Rehvenge, he turns to the only source of light in his darkening world, Ehlena, a vampire untouched by the corruption that has its hold on him-and the only thing standing between him and eternal destruction.

Why:

I freakin love BDB series. And was so excited when Lover Avenged came out in Paper Back.  I could not wait for Rehvenge's story.  Can you believe I am having the darnest time getting into his book. The few times I have tried, I have not made it very far. But in all honesty I do  think I am not  giving it a chance.  I know if I would just give it a real go, I am sure I will like it.  I really need to get caught up in this series, I feel like I am the only one behind.  I am curious about John in Lover Mine  and excited for Payne in Lover Unleashed and  Tohrment in Lover Reborn. I still buy the Paperbacks for my BDB collection but I have not gotten Lover Reborn yet. One day I will be caught up with this series. I am sure once I give Lover Avenged a chance, I will not beable to stop like I did with the earlier books.  I could not get enough of the BDB heroes and read them all back to back, up to Lover Enshrined.
