Maybe this makes me bloodthirsty, but if you’re doing horrific medical experiments on sentient captives, maybe you get what’s coming to you. And the rest of the Black Dagger Brotherhood wasn’t happy because this drew a lot of attention to the situation and why did he have to be so extra with the staking and all that, you know? They exiled him. He lost his shit a little and maybe savagely murdered the people conducting those experiments (like disemboweling and staking them to the ground) and then burned the place down. One of those vampires was a pregnant female. Years ago, Murhder came across a lab that was doing monstrous, cruel medical experiments on vampires. The vampires in this world choose to remain a secret because while they are much more powerful than humans (strength, the ability to heal from almost anything, the ability to teleport) they are few in number and so are somewhat vulnerable. The Black Dagger Brotherhood are vampire alpha-male warriors who wear a ton of leather and are sworn to protect vampires from their enemies. Fans of Murhder will be delighted that he’s finally left his hidey-hole and come back into the world.

note: I think it’s ‘Score.’)įor future Black Dagger Brotherhood heroes I would like to submit the following name suggestions:Īnyway, fans of Xhex and John will be dismayed to know John isn’t doing so well. I have no idea how the last one is pronounced. We also have characters like Rhage and Phury and Xcor. On a side note, if you haven’t read these books before and you’re like, “Xhex? Murhder?” Yes, I am spelling them correctly and am not presently intoxicated.

Their story is bookended by drama between a past couple (from the 8th book Lover Mine) Xhex and John so unless you already care about Xhex and John, which I didn’t, it feels like a lot of book to get through for the main romance to start. The problem is, Murhder and Sarah don’t actually meet until page 157 of the book, which is a full third of the way in. Sarah Watkins, tempt him out of his exile. Murhder has been hiding away for twenty years until visions of his soulmate, Dr. The Savior is about Murhder, a vampire and ex-member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood turned recluse due to insanity. While I was able to follow everything that was going on (Ward provides a helpful glossary in the beginning of the book and offers context clues), I do think that this is a book best suited for folks who have read the rest of the series versus newcomers. I picked up The Savior having only read a few of the Black Dagger Brotherhood books before, and this is book seventeen. Fans of the site know that I’m not afraid to jump around within a series when it comes to my reading.
