the Newest In Ward's Ferociously Popular Black Dagger Brotherhood Series Bears All The Marks Of A Polished Storyteller Completely At Home In Her World. Vishous, Son Of The Bloodletter, Is A Cunning, Stone-hearted Vampire Warrior Devoted To Killing The Wicked, Undead Vampire Slayers Known As The Lessers; After An Ill-fated Visit To A Hospital, Vishous Falls Instantly And Unexpectedly In Love With A Human Surgeon, Dr. Jane Whitcomb. Soon, Vishous Has Brought The Unwitting Human Back To The Brotherhood Lair, Where She Returns His Feelings, Opening Up A Potentially Cataclysmic Conflict-vishous Is, Against His Will, Destined To Become The Primale, A Warrior With Multiple Vampire Wives Who's Meant To Ensure The Survival Of The Species. Ward Has By Now Become An Expert At Fleshing Out The Stories Of Her Supporting Characters-each With His Or Her Own Novel-without Overpowering The Central Story, And While The Romance Between Vishous And Whitcomb Is Genre-typical, Ward Isn't Afraid To Break With Convention In Challenging, Gratifying Ways. Though Not Recommended For Newcomers To Ward's Universe Or Romance Traditionalists, This Fix Will Give Brotherhood Addicts A Powerful Rush. (oct.)
