I really enjoyed this addition to the BDB series. A story of love and redemption on many levels! But to JR Ward, and many other authors, VEINS DO NOT PULSE, as stated in this , and plenty of other's books. Arteries pulse! And to JR Ward in this book, the jugular vein does NOT supply blood to the brain! The carotid artery does! With your background, you should know this, and it should have been corrected during the editing process. Other than that.... This a great story, full of action,...

Great story about Muhrder and Sarah! As usual J.R. Ward’s writing is emotional and visceral. She will have you laughing, crying and on the edge of your seat all at the same time. She takes seemingly disparate multiple views and characters and weaves them into a whole without letting the story devolve into confusing choppiness. Well worth the read though the book is long (over 500 pages) the story engrosses so you don’t even notice. ) One person found this helpful

Murdher was expelled from the Black Dagger Brotherhood 20 years ago. Unknown to the Brotherhood, he had attempted to save Xhex from her Sympath family before he (or anyone else) knew she was Sympath herself. The family had tortured him into madness that has lasted the two decades. This madness was also contributed to by his inability to save a pregnant female trapped in a laboratory where she was being tortured. Now she has contacted him with a plea to save her son and Murdher must return to...
