My next obsessions

So many books so little time; so then why in the world do I get caught up in series? I end up reading no Series books and falling in love only to be sucked back in....if it's not Robert Galibraith (aka J.K. Rowling), Cassandra Clare, or Sarah J. Maas then it's J.R. Ward.
I was introduced to her via my two friends Linda and Lauren. Both of who love her books and encouraged me to read them. I was not sold on the first one I read; Dark Lover. And for over two years the second book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series sat on my book shelf collecting dust. It was not until last year that I dusted it off and read it. Mainly because I was in between series and in need of an easy, uncomplicated read. It was then that I feel in love. And so here I am having read several books in that series and now I am turning to the Fallen Angel series. And man a live will these be my new obsession.
Talk about addictive; I just finished the first one and I can not wait to review it this weekend (along with three other books). These books are going to be my new obsession!

J.R. Ward; authoress of The Blackdagger Brother, Bourbon Kings and Fallen Angels series

Currently Reading: Lover Avenged by J.R. Ward

I am currently reading the seventh book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by the wonderful J.R. Ward. Here is the synopsis: 

Rehvenge is used to living in the shadows and dealing with the roughest night walkers around—including the Black Dagger Brotherhood. As his secret identity as a sympath is threatened, he turns to the only light in his ever darkening world—a female vampire untouched by corruption, who’s the only thing standing between him and eternal damnation.

First impression: (I am 15 chapters in) 

I am pretty impressed with Rev's story so far. We are finally seeing Lash's betrayal unfold. Of course, there is one big thing that is plaguing me and I am wondering how John Matthew's seeing Lash alive is going to play out. I think he is keeping that particular secret. There have been a few surprises in this book so far. Finally Wrath; the king of the vampires, is back in on the action. And Phury is making a comeback as well. I still have a lot of story to make it through but I am

Excited for this book. My plan is to have it completely read by New Years Eve.  

She rescued him as much as he rescued her: The Bookbabe Review of Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward

She rescued him as much as he rescued her: The Bookbabe Review of Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward

I am a little late with this review; being as though I started and finished this book in August. Lover Awakened was a little harder to get through because it is about the toughest brother of the group, Zsadist. Zsadist has a deep, dark and disturbing past that is filled with a lot of self destruction. Z (as he is known by the brothers) is a former blood/sex slave; having been stolen from his family. He is marked with tattoos on his wrists and around his neck that marks him as what he was. Z is a guy that you want to hate but just can't bring yourself to. In the previous books he positively gave me the creeps and I could not see why Bella would be so willing to get close to him. As we find out its because of his dangerous side, but also because she senses something good and vulnerable in him. During the course of this book we learn a lot about the very tense relationship that Z has with this twin Phury. (Who honestly I am very anxious to get to know). We also find some heart break in this book that I feel will echo across several of the other books in the series. In my opinion this book was one of the best so far. It was deep, with lots of high drama. Ward writes it in such away that you can not help but hope that Z finds the love and support he needs with Bella. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. 

Quotes I loved:

"You are the male I might have been. You are the potential I had and lost. You'll take care of her. I want you to take care of her....it will be a good mating for her. With you as her Hellen, she can hold her head up high. She can be seen with you at her side. She'll be socially invincible. The flyers won't be able to touch her." (Zsadist)

"Oh, God...Z. How could you stomach the idea that I was with her" (Phury)

"Whether it's you or someone else, the pain is the same. Besides, you think I'm not used to hurting. For me, it's home sweet home, my brother" (Zsadist) 

"U, you know what they say about messengers, right?"

"Excuse me?"

"Too much bad news will get you shot"
