Publisher's summary

A vampire and a scientist’s fates are passionately entwined in a race against time in this thrilling romance in the #1 New York Times best-selling “utterly absorbing and deliciously erotic” (Angela Knight, New York Times bestselling author) Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

In the venerable history of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, only one male has ever been expelled—but Murhder’s insanity gave the Brothers no choice. Haunted by visions of a female he could not save, he nonetheless returns to Caldwell on a mission to right the wrong that ruined him. However, he is not prepared for what he must face in his quest for redemption.

Dr. Sarah Watkins, researcher at a biomedical firm, is struggling with the loss of her fellow scientist fiancé. When the FBI starts asking about his death, she questions what really happened and soon learns the terrible truth: Her firm is conducting inhumane experiments in secret and the man she thought she knew and loved was involved in the torture.

As Murhder and Sarah’s destinies become irrevocably entwined, desire ignites between them. But can they forge a future that spans the divide separating the two species? And as a new foe emerges in the war against the vampires, will Murhder return to his Brothers...or resume his lonely existence forevermore?

Murhder is a Savior!

As everyone has pointed out the first third of this book is a bit slow. This book took my back to OG Brotherhood books, and it just makes me happy we get to know Murhder. I have been in a minority of people who knew Murhder wasn’t insane, but little did I know how much Murhder sacrificed. There were so many scenes in this book that make me cry and smile in happiness. And it was so greater to get John Matthew and Xhex get more time in the front and not have unnecessary drama *cough* V and Jane *cough* and OMG John Matthew is officially in the brotherhood now!! Oh wow Murhder and Sarah were sizzling off my book and were giving me hot flashes! Overall, I really enjoyed this book but there were just some little things that bothered me.

Even more than I expected!

J.R. Ward blows my mind with each new book in this series. Muhrder is a Male who was even more than I expected and Sarah was his perfect counterpart. Every emotion will be strummed. I especially love how characters from the past books are incorporated, as family should be. And Lassiter, once again, brought it all home. Jim Frangione is the only voice that does justice to this phenomenal series.

AMAZING!!!!!!

I can't say enough about this series, I absolutely love it and recommend it to everyone I know. This book hasn't changed that opinion. I honestly think I the series gets better with every book. The story about Murhder has been a long time coming and and it is very well written . The Warden (J.R . Ward ) does it again.

John Matthew

I was hoping that the truth about John Matthew would have come out. So many opportunities to let everyone know that John Matthew is Darius reincarnated.... didn’t happen....
Great book!!

The Savior

What else can I say but another wonderfully written book by JR Ward & expertly narrated by Mr. Jim Frangione. Jim has a beautiful timbre to his voice that can get deep, when you want it deep, and lilt when you need the female lift, without sounding absurd. I have not found another of his caliber. Enoy!
