About this book
The 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Sinner brings another hot adventure of true love and ultimate sacrifice in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world.
The location of the glymera’s notorious prison camp was lost after the raids. When a freak accident provides Nyx clues to where her sister may still be doing time, she becomes determined to find the secret subterranean labyrinth. Embarking on a journey under the earth, she learns a terrible truth—and meets a male who changes everything, forever.
The Jackal has been in the camp for so long he cannot recall anything of the freedom he once knew. Trapped by circumstances out of his control, he helps Nyx because he cannot help himself. After she discovers what happened to her sister, getting her back out becomes a deadly mission for them both.
United by a passion they can’t deny, they work together on an escape plan for Nyx—even though their destiny is to be forever apart. And as the Black Dagger Brotherhood is called upon for help, and Rhage discovers he has a half-brother who’s falsely imprisoned, a devious warden plots the deaths of them all…even the Brothers.

The Jackal was absolutely epic! Everything around me melted away as I got lost in this world, caught up in the emotion, pain, and passion. It was incredibly intense and I hung on every detail and loved how it was woven together with an incredible build. It blew me away! I loved meeting The Jackal, he completely fascinated me. I felt for him and I had so many questions about some of his choices. There were so many emotional moments with him and it was heartbreaking at times learning what he had...

I was trying to read Sword Catcher, by Cassandra Clare, her new adult book, an was stuck in a rut in that book at 40%. I needed to close it. So I thought why not. I have been reading J.R. Ward, aka the WARden for a very very long time. It's familiar. I took a break for about 4 years. And, even though this is a new series, it feels like coming home. In this we get Rhage, who was never really my favorite, but this book made him my favorite fast. He and Bitty are adorable. And THE jackal, Peter,...

A little slow at the start of the book, but the rest of the book more than made up for it. Another great book by JR Ward. This book is so different than the rest of them, a whole new setting. Prison life as you could never imagine. Nyx just wants to find her sister who was imprisoned 50 years ago. When she finds the secret passage that leads her to the prison, she runs into someone known as The Jackal, or Jack, as she calls him. He knows she is the one destined to be his, but she can never be...

Honestly, this is a 3.5 rounded up. The story was great. It was very cool to see a fresh new plot in this world. I LOVED the whole secret prison camp thing, and Jack is a great character. But I seriously had to deduct points for Nyx being one of the most stupid heroines I have ever had the misfortune to read about. From practically the beginning she does things that should have killed her (she gets saved repeatedly by big strong guys, so I guess it’s ok??!! 🙄) and without giving away spoilers,...
