Black Dagger Brotherhood: Lover Enshrined - J.R. Ward

~ Lover Enshrined ~ Lover Enshrined is the sixth book in the Brotherhood series and is based on brother Phury. Phury has been through a lot and we have found out a lot about him through the first five books. Phury was one of the quieter of the brothers and is very intelligent. He does not seem as ruthless as the others and because of his celibacy he does not have a reputation like many of the others such as Vishous or Rhage.

This is the sixth in an ongoing series and to read Lover Enshrined before the other five books could well leave any newcomer to the series totally bewildered. So to enjoy this book you really need to have read the others in the series beginning with Dark Lover. The main protagonists in the series are vampires with street cred and all have strangely familiar names: Tohrment, Phury, Zadist, Rehvenge. These supersized, supernatural guys belong to the Black Dagger Brotherhood, led by their blind king, Wrath, and they are urban warriors protecting other vampires from the Lessening Society. Each book focuses on one particular member of the Brotherhood, ...  Read the complete review
