About half way thru the book. It is beginning to get interesting. I don't know why but this book is taking me forever to read. It usually doesn't take this long to read a book. But i wouldn't really know what to read after this series is done. I know more books are to come but I don't want to be caught up with the books. Its nice to have a book always waiting for me to read.

Lover unbound, enshrined, and avenged by J. R. Ward I have a lot of reviews to get done today since I have been slacking so I am going to slump them all together here. I am really enjoying this series so far. I think it is cool that even though they are a series it wouldn't be too bad if you read them out of order. The characters are amazing and so strong. I cannot wait until I can continue with the series.

Funny how a favorite character can turn into a least favorite character in a matter of a couple chapters.

Star Rating in 2017: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Star Rating in 2022:
Three Things:
#1 Lassiter can get it
He ain’t afraid to admit what all of us are thinking, Bette Midler is 🙌🏻.
#2 Wrath and Beth deserved this book
“I stay with you because whether you have sight or not I see the future in your eyes.”
#3 Rehevenge surprised me
Every time I think these stories can't get more complicated, I'm thrown another surprise. I knew going into this book that it was about Rehvenge so it was bound to be interesting. He's a member of the vampire aristocracy, the glymera, and leads a secret life as a drug lord and glorified pimp. And, if that wasn't enough, he's hiding the fact that he's a symphath, a vampire breed that is required to live in an isolated colony.
Rehv is attracted to a nurse named Elehna, who works in Haver's clinic. Surprisingly, she doesn't recoil from him as others normally do and theirs is an interesting, erotic romance that later develops. Meanwhile, Lash is continuing his immersion in the Lessening Society and posing a bigger threat than ever to the vampire race. John Matthew's fascination with Xhex grows and evolves and Wrath's eyesight worsens.
This is a big story with so much going on it's hard to put the book down for work and sleep. It ends with even more questions unanswered about the Brotherhood's ability to win the war with the Lessers and avoid dissension within the vampire race. No matter what you think about the romance or any of the characters individually, it's an intellectual journey that is very appealing. You'll find yourself strategizing and wondering how these issues can be solved. It's an amazing story.

The seventh book in the BDB and it deals with Rhevenge. Rhevenge is a sympath and drug lord who rules with an iron fist. Life changes in a blink of an eye for him though when he meets Elhena, a nurse at Havers clinic.
I love Rhevenge and Elhena. Their relationship was cute, tense, and heartbreaking. I loved everything about this book which surprised me because he isn’t a brother. I also don’t remember this book at all so it was like reading it for the first time all over again. Elhena is probably one of my favorite females in this series. She is a survivor who is determined to help the world. She was also very courageous and brave.
“This was why people got mated, Rehv suddenly thought. Fuck the sex and the social position. If they were smart, they did it to make a house that had no walls and an invisible roof and a floor that no one could walk on and yet the structure was a shelter no storm could blow down, no match could torch up, no passage of years could degrade.”
This book also deals a lot with Wrath and Beth and John Mathew and Xhex. Wrath is struggling with his eyesight and still struggling with being king. Him and Beth are having difficulties with their mating as well. Seeing these two struggle and work through it is so relatable.
“Payne nailing him in the face woke him up. George brought him back his independence.But Beth handed him his crown.”
As I said, this book sets up the relationship between John Mathew and Xhex, which isn’t going well as you can imagine. John learns the truth about her being a sympath and things get tense after that. I don’t remember a lot about their relationship so I can't wait to start the next book and see what happens, especially after this ending.
“Life is such a glorious trauma, is it not?” (Wrath)
