Claimed by J.R. Ward

4.0

Content/Trigger Warning: Suicide (on page), animal cruelty, animal attacks, cancer and medical experimentation.

Book 1 of The Lair of the Wolven, a Black Dagger Brotherhood spin-off, set in the same universe. Claimed is the story of Lydia and Daniel with Xhex from the BDB. Claimed barely touches the bases of this new story and it leaves so many questions. About 3/4 of the book is The Wolf Study Project facility and Lydia the Wolf behaviorist, the mysterious "drifter" Daniel with chapters from Xhex's POV.

I enjoyed Claimed. It definitely has a different sound in comparison to BDB, but with glimpses at some of the BDB crew. I am looking forward to reading the next book.
