I enjoy this series and have enjoyed most of the Black Dagger Brotherhood books. This was the weakest offering imo.

Loved this further story into the Black Dagger Brotherhood! I always was curious about Balthazar and I loved delving into his perspective. Seeing how the situation with Erika turned out, what’s been happening with Devina and the Book, and more appearances form the Brothers, especially V, was great!! Can’t wait to see what is in store for Lassiter!!!

I really feel like the series jumped the shark a few books ago. I'll read the next book, which is Lassiter's, but I'll stop after that.
