Marianne (Australia) (2012/11/18):
Lover Revealed is the fourth book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R.Ward and tells Butch O’Neal’s story. While saving a civilian vampire, ex-cop Butch is overcome by lessers and left for dead in the snow with an unwanted legacy from the Omega. Rescued by Vishous, he is placed in a contamination unit at Haver’s clinic, where the woman he loves, Marissa keeps a bedside vigil until he recovers. Of course, the path of true love never runs smoothly, and it is some time before Marissa and Butch are finally mated. In this instalment, Ward gives the reader a bit more background on Marissa and Butch, as well as the Omega, the Scribe Virgin, Vishous, Rehvenge and John Matthew. She also introduces some new characters. With Wellsie dead and Tohr missing, the Brotherhood is short a member, but this is rectified in a novel way, and the new member, the Dhestroyer, has a surprising power to offer in the war against the lessers. Ward also hints at what might happen to Vishous in the next instalment, Lover Unbound. The world Ward has created is wonderfully original and each book adds to the overall story, as well as highlighting a particular Brother. The interaction between the characters is delightful, and Ward manages to tug at the heart strings as well as creating suspense and throwing in plenty of humour. This series is very addictive.

I love this series. I can't get enough of "The Black Dagger Brotherhood". Each story is so unique and yet intricately intertwined with those that preceded and follow. Each books gives wonderful insight into each individual character and leads to another book, making you itch for the next book. I find myself unable to put this series down once I start a new book. This book was about Butch (their human friend) and Marissa (a Vampire woman of nobility). In many ways their kind is still stuck in old time views of women. This book talks about many of those issues and the Vampire King, Wrath, tries to find a way to help with Marissa's assistance. Another part of this book that I love is about John. He is a vampire child that has been in every book. I love how complex his story is and I can't wait to see how he turns out. I'd ardently recommend this book to anyone into books about Vampires. This book is unique and each books is different enough to keep you hooked.
