Eccomi qua a sproloquiare sull’ennesimo libro di Zia Ward: chiamarla recensione mi fa sempre un po’ specie perché questa serie, come ho scritto molte altre volte, è al di fuori del mio spirito critico. Il che non vuol dire che non ne veda i difetti, ma scelgo scientemente di ignorarli.

Per esempio, Blood Truth ha una sottotrama gialla e J.R. Ward non sa scrivere gialli: il colpevole si muove nel romanzo con scritto assassino in fronte. Il problema – per me e il mio spirito critico – è che Ward alla fine fa pure dell’ironia sul fatto che l’assassino sia scontato e non riesco proprio ad avercela con lei.

Per quanto riguarda i protagonisti, Boone e Helania, mi sono piaciuti entrambi. Sebbene avessimo già incontrato Boone, non sapevamo niente di lui ed stata una piacevole scoperta: i libri precedenti non mi avevano messo su una gran voglia di approfondire la sua conoscenza, invece la sua storia è davvero carina. È bello vedere la sua introversione combaciare con quella di Helania.

Ovviamente c’è un altro personaggio femminile che ha catturato la mia attenzione: non dirò di più per non fare spoiler, ma spero tanto che Rochelle avrà il suo libro. Ne abbiamo proprio bisogno. ( )

Omg. I totally called this book on SO MANY angles! ( )

Great continuation...

Love this book, love this series...love these characters...V’s line at the end is my favorite...totally get his sense of humor....no spoilers! Can’t wait for the next story! ( )

Written very differently than the other stories in this series.

Loved the main characters, Boone and Helaine. They were sweet and cute. While the romance had some steamy adult scenes, compared to most of the BDB & BD Legacy stories, this one was Mellow.

Loved the role that Butch took in this one. The mystery and suspense sent my mind spiralling. Butch really showcased his skills in the detective department. This 'case' sent us on one heck of a ride trying to figure out who the serial killer is.

There were a few things that bugged me. We didn't get a real answer on a certain connection I noticed between Boone and another character. Yet that connection seemed showcased to me. I felt like some conclusion to that should have happened.

The other thing I found odd is the amount of editing/typo errors in this one. They aren't enough to hinder your enjoyment of the story, but they do stand out. You will definitely notice them.

I really enjoyed the change up in the way the story was written and can't wait to read the next.
J.R. Ward did not disappoint me in any way. ( )

This was a really great installment in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series! It’s a little hard to discuss this one without getting into spoiler territory, so I’m going to put the rest in tags.

Boone, trainee for the Brotherhood, learns of a plot in the glymera. Unfortunately, his father is killed. There is a subplot involving the glymera’s intolerance for class differences, forced matings, and intolerance towards LBGT relationships that is well written. Boone faces the loss of his inheritance.

Helania is grieving the loss of her sister by a murderer who hasn’t been caught. She works in a seedy vamp role play club, and witnesses a murder. Syn’s backstory also comes into play. Syn is a character I’m reaaaally on the fence on after this one. Ward left some wiggle room, so we’ll see. I LOVED the relationship between Boone and Helania. Sooo good, great chemistry, and I loved the way certain HEA elements worked out in the end.

Trigger Warnings: rape, mutilation, serial murder, graphic violence
