Things are complicated by Butch being a human and by some strange powers Butch has gained from his stay with the Lessers. When Butch is captured by the Lessers and horribly wounded he ends up in Haver's clinic where only Marissa can help him fight to stay alive.
I listened to this on audio book and although the guy reading is sounds a little too dramatic for my tastes he does a decent job overall.This book tells the story of Butch and Marissa. I did enjoy that the plot was more filled out and seems to be leading up to something bigger. It was a decent book, but not my favorite in the series so far. (Mar.This is the fourth book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood. In just two years, the first three books in the series have earned Ward an Anne Rice–style following, deservedly so this entry should prove no less popular. Though Butch's love interest, the virginal, aristocratic vampire Marissa, initially elicits more annoyance than empathy, she grows a spine as the book progresses and Butch's destiny comes to light. The book is fully committed to its urban sensibility, the vampires' rarified language (a glossary is provided) and their revved-up sex drives, and it all works to great, page-turning effect (with the notable exception of a chick lit–like attention to designer brands). Hero and ex-cop Butch is the only human allowed into the Brotherhood's inner circle, but Butch is no mere human, a fact suspected by one of his vamp colleagues, and confirmed by the sinister plans of the Omega. The six "brothers" are vampires: enormous, tattooed, tormented warriors who protect other vampires from destruction by the "lessers," desouled humans in the evil Omega's Lessening Society. Newbies to Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood may struggle to fill in the backstory, but these erotic paranormals are well worth it, and frighteningly addictive.
