"The only purebred vampire left on the planet and the leader of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who killed his parents centuries ago.

But when his most trusted fighter is killed -- orphaning a half-breed daughter unaware of her heritage or her fate -- Wrath must put down his dagger and usher the beautiful female into another world.

Racked by a restlessness in her body that wasn’t there before, Beth Randall is helpless against the dangerously sexy man who comes to her at night with shadows in his eyes. His tales of the Brotherhood and blood frighten her. Yet his touch ignites a dawning new hunger one that threatens to consume them both…"

I read this book for the first time in 2010 (with exactly 18 yo) and it was my first book with erotic scenes. 

I after re-read it a couple of times when new volumes was coming but the last time it was in 2017... so please be kind with me if I miss some important points in this or others volumes.

This is the 1st volume of an ongoing serie about sexy, dark and pretty deadly vampires.

Not all vampires are like them, the ones from the Black Dagger Brotherhood are warriors! 

They fight one enemy: the Lessening Society and The Omega 

And they don't drink blood from humans because vampire blood have the nutrients that they need to be strong and heal. And guess what? They eat normal food too (or human food) 😁

This volume it's about Wrath (the king of the race) and Beth (half-breed daughter of his former friend). 

What seems to be an help to better understand her future turns into a romance where hate give place to love and a lot of 💦 scenes. 

You don't have the action right in the first chapters no no no! You first need to dig the story of each MC first and after you will have more intense scenes so at first i was thinking "where are the fights?Where are the enemies?" and after I got it! 

This one I though for moments that was a standalone and will finish like that.... heartbroken and in shock. But it got a twist that save me from trying fandoms 😂 

I craved for more about that brotherhood and each volume talk about one of the Brothers
