Review: Lover Unleashed
.
‚Lover Unleashed‚
by J. R. Ward
Black Dagger Brotherhood # 9/
.
First Sentence:
„Xcor saw his father killed when he was but five years past his transition.“
Last Sentence:
„That was how lucky they all were.“
Synopsis:
Payne, twin sister of Vishous, is cut from the same dark, warrior cloth as her brother: A fighter by nature, and a maverick when it comes to the traditional role of Chosen females, there is no place for her on the Far Side… and no role for her on the front lines of the war, either.
When she suffers a paralyzing injury, human surgeon Dr. Manuel Manello is called in to treat her as only he can- and he soon gets sucked into her dangerous, secret world. Although he never before believed in things that go bump in the night- like vampires- he finds himself more than willing to be seduced by the powerful female who marks both his body and his soul.
As the two find so much more than an erotic connection, the human and vampire worlds collide … just as a centuries old score catches up with Payne and puts both her love and her life in deadly jeopardy….

My thoughts about the book:
I’ve been really looking forward to read this book and finally to dive into the world of the brothers again. Particularly because I found Payne from the 1-2 books before very interesting, in which she has already briefly showed up. And also her relationship and the circumstances which have led her on this side were well prepared and let me hope for much. Unfortunately this book in the Black Dagger series couldn’t fulfill my expectations and it’s, after the previous 4 great books, only average.
I really wanted to love this book because I’m a huge fan of the brothers, as well as of J. R. Ward, but I must be honest to myself and I’ve to admit to myself that it hasn’t completely worked for me, like the rest of the Black Dagger books. There were some things in it which have disturbed me, as for example the fact that Ward has put the relationship of Vishous and Jane in the foreground. What wouldn’t have disturbed me much, if she wouldn’t have presented my favorite character Vishous again as a coldblooded, mean emotion cripple. First because we already had this in the 5th book (Lover Unbound) and secondly because it didn’t fit and seemed fake, and he just isn’t like that.
Another point was that here I’ve missed the fights against the lessening society, the breath-taking tension plot with its many storylines and with all of this the book have lost a little of its action and awesome thrill.
For me this book seemed, like it was a first book in a new series in which new character were introduced and new connections were built up in the plot. Hence, I’m quite sure that by now Ward plans, for every single character from this barbarian troop from the old country with Xcor and Throe, to spin her series further and to write also own books for each of them. But we will see …
Furthermore in this book I couldn’t get a good connection with the main characters Payne or Manny. What disturbs me because I really wanted to like, to love Payne, but she wasn’t present enough. For my taste she hasn’t given enough from herself, if it’s now from her thoughts or her feelings… unfortunately, she left little impression on me and has left my quite cold and uninterested while reading her story.
What has disturbed me the most was that this here was the first book since book 2, in which there was nothing about John Matthew! Nothing – not at all, maybe just 2 sentences and that was way not enough! John Matthew was since Lover Eternal (book #2) a fixe constant in these books and there was always a part about him which I really liked and found first-class and diverse and touching. Especially because of his connection with Thor or his friendship with Qhuinn and Blay or his own relation with Zsadist because by their past.
This all was away and I’ve really missed it very much and I fear that this ‘trend’ will also remain in the next books.
Moreover, there was also no mention if Thor, not even with a syllable and this very uncharacteristic, if you consider that the next book is his story and that he’s playing the ‘leading role’ in it. Up to now Ward has already given priority to the characters which are the main ones in the next book to already show their secret sides with which they have to struggle, but also here – nothing.
So we all have to wait till Lover Reborn to see how this whole story will go on, because I can’t get rid of the feeling that somehow a new era holds place in the books, like I already had in the book # 4-5, in which the young vampires have won priority (John Matthew, Qhuinn, Blay).
Even if I have listed almost only negative points, I still have liked the book and even better than many others. It was like always a quick and fast reading and has led me in another great world. And only because I would have liked some things differently in it, I wouldn’t say that it was generally bad. For me it’s an average book with which I can live with, however, thought not a book which I’ll read again so often, like the other books in this otherwise amazing series.
English Cover:
I like the cover very much, particularly because finally, once a female vampire bites somebody. 🙂
All in all:
A good attempt in which, unfortunately the otherwise always contained magic was missing.

Quotes:
Manny: „You are perfect for a female.“
Payne: „Not where I come from.“
Manny: „Then they’re using the wrong standard.
Vishous: „I came to you, Jane. Every night this week, I came to you. I didn’t want you to be alone. And I didn’t want to sleep without you.“

‚Vampirschwur‘ & ‚Nachtseele‘

Meine Gedanken zum Buch:
Ich habe mich wirklich sehr auf dieses Buch gefreut und darauf, endlich wieder in die Welt der Brüder einzutauchen. Besonders weil ich Payne aus den 1-2 Büchern vorher sehr interessant fand, in denen sie bereits kurz vorgekommen ist. Auch ihre Verwandtschaft und die Umstände, welche sie auf diese Seite geführt haben, waren gut vorbereitet und haben mich auf viel hoffen lassen.
Leider konnte aber dieser Teil in der Black Dagger Reihe nicht meine Erwartungen erfüllen und er ist nach den vorigen 4-top Büchern, leider nur mittelmäßig. Ich wollte dieses Buch wirklich lieben, weil ich ein riesiger Fan der Brüder, wie auch von J. R. Ward bin, aber ich muss ehrlich zu mir selbst sein und mir eingestehen, dass es dieses mal nicht, so wie sonst, für mich funktioniert hat. Es waren einige Dinge darin die mich gestört haben, wie zum Beispiel die Tatsache, dass Ward wieder sehr die Beziehung von Vishous und Jane in den Vordergrund gerückt hat. Was mich nicht gestört hätte, hätte sie nicht meinen Lieblingscharakter Vishous wieder als kaltblütigen, gemeinen Emotionskrüppel hergestellt. Erstens weil wir das bereits im Band 5 (Lover Unbound) hatten und zweitens es nicht passte und aufgesetzt wirkte.
Ein weiterer Punkt war, dass mir hier die Kämpfe gegen die Lesser, der atemraubende Spannungsbogen mit seinen vielen Handlungssträngen gefehlt hat und alles irgendwie an Action und Nervenkitzel verloren hat. Für mich wirkte es, wie ein erstes Buch in einer neuen Reihe, in welchem wieder neue Charaktere vorgestellt und neue Verknüpfungen im Plot aufgebaut werden. Daher bin ich mir ziemlich sicher, dass Ward schon jetzt plant für jeden einzelnen Charakter, aus dieser barbarischen Truppe aus dem alten Land mit Xcor und Throe, ihre Reihe weiter zu spinnen und auch ihnen ein eigenen Buch zu schreiben. Aber wir werden sehen…
Außerdem konnte ich in diesem Buch wenig Bindung mit den Hauptcharakteren Payne oder Manny eingehen. Was mich selber leider etwas stört, weil ich Payne wirklich gerne sehr gemocht hätte, aber sie war zu wenig präsent. Sie hat nach meinem Geschmack zu wenig von sich gegeben, sei es nun von ihren Gedankengängen oder ihren Emotionen… sie hat leider wenig Eindruck hinterlassen und mich auch während des Lesens ziemlich kalt gelassen.
Was mich am meisten gestört oder sehr gestört hat, war dass das hier das erste Buch seit Band 2 ist, in dem nichts von John Matthew vorgekommen ist. Nichts – gar nicht, vielleicht 2 Sätze. John Matthew war seit Lover Eternal (Buch #2) eine fixe Konstante in den Büchern und es war immer ein Teil von ihm dabei, den ich klasse und abwechslungsreich und berührend fand. Besonders durch seine Verbindung mit Thor oder seine Freundschaft mit Qhuinn und Blay oder seinem eigenen Verhältnis mit Zsadist durch ihre Vergangenheit. Das war alles weg und hat mir wirklich sehr gefehlt und ich fürchte, dass wird auch in den nächsten Bändern so bleiben. Außerdem war auch mit fast keiner Silbe auch nur Thor erwähnt und das ist sehr untypisch, wenn man bedenkt, dass er im nächsten Buch die ‚Hauptrolle’ spielt. Bisher hat Ward die Figuren, welche im nächsten Buch behandelt werden, schon etwas in den Vordergrund gerückt und ihre verborgenen Seiten gezeigt, mit welchen sie sich plagen, aber auch hier – nichts.
Man darf also gespannt sein auf Lover Reborn und wie die ganze Geschichte weiter gehen wird, da ich nämlich das Gefühl nicht los werde, dass irgendwie eine neue Ära in die Bücher Einzug hält, ähnlich wie ab den Büchern 4-5, in denen die jungen Vampire an Priorität gewonnen haben.
Auch wenn ich jetzt einige negative Punkte aufgelistet habe, hat mir das Buch trotzdem noch besser gefallen als viele andere. Es war wie immer schnell zu lesen und hat mich in eine andere Welt geführt. Und nur weil ich einige Dinge gerne anders gehabt hätte, heißt es nicht dass es generell schlecht war. Für mich ein mittelmäßiges Buch, mit dem ich leben kann aber nicht wie die anderen Bände ein weiteres mal lesen werde.
English Cover:
Ich mag das Cover sehr, besonders da endlich einmal ein weiblicher Vampir jemanden beißt. 🙂
All in all:
Ein guter Versuch in dem aber leider die, ansonsten immer enthaltene, Magie gefehlt hat.

Review: Lover Mine
.
‚Lover Mine‚
by J. R. Ward
Black Dagger Brotherhood # 8/
Black Dagger # 8.1 & # 8.2
.
First Sentence:
„He wished he had more time. Although for truth, what would that change?“
Last Sentence:
„Eventually, everything that came to pass was exactly how it was meant to be.“
Synopsis:
John Matthew has come a long way since he was found living among humans, his vampire nature unknown. Taken in by The Brotherhood, no one could guess what his true history was-or his true identity.
Xhex has long steeled herself against the attraction to John Matthew. Until fate intervenes and she discovers that love, like destiny, is inevitable… (Source: goodreads.com)
My thoughts about the book:
I try to stay short with this review of the eighth book and not to start again with my chorus of praise. But to be honest, I’m not able not admire Wards writing style and her creativity and talent. Although this here is already the incredible eighth part and every time when I start to read, I calculate the fact that this time I won’t be inspired like in the other books … but then she surprises me again.
I’ve also liked this book incredibly much and I couldn’t put it aside for just a moment. To my luck it was weekend when I started the book and therefore I could finish it within 1 ½ days and it was first-class!
Although every time it is another rhythm in the books and other feelings are addressed to the readers, and here at the beginning above all desperation, fear and sadness has ruled, it was no second dull or not suitably… everything was as it should be and the end was like I’ve hoped for and expected it, and as usual, just magnificent!
But I don’t want to say more about it because I otherwise I would spoil it for you. 😉
I just say so much that here in this book, we finally got John’s story and now it’s his turn to get what he wants. Though we already know John’s history from the forerunner books, the background from John was differently rolled up again, namely through the story of Darius. Furthermore it was also shown the interlinking between him and Xhex and Thor, though which was a little confusing at the beginning, but at the end the desired ‚Aha‘–effect was given.
In my opinion John’s book was for me one of the saddest, most desperate, but also one of the hottest stories. He and Xhex fit greatly together and I can’t image someone else beside John. They are lovely!
Besides the love story, also the never-ending fight against the Lessening society came to a special highlight and the tension remained always high because of Lash and his doings.
Moreover I also found it interesting how Ward slowly involved the whole story with Payne, up to the time where she left the other side came to this one. And I find her connection with Vishous just brilliant, even though I’ve already known it before. (Because of spoilers in other reviews)
Nonetheless this book still leaves a bitter aftertaste, if I only think of Thor or of the Scribe Virgin. Not because it was badly written or something like that, no… but because I felt too sorry for Thor’s tragedy and also started to feel pity for the Scribe Virgin. I honestly wasn’t a fan of her at the beginning but now I’ve to say that she should get also some good things or nice moments.
What I love so much in all those books in this series is that although the main love story in every book is told till to the end, that there is always a main plot which goes on and tells the story of the fight with the lessening society and how the vampire society is changing and furthermore in every book new subplots appear and form their way in the books with new characters and way and which make me want to read instantly the next book in the row. Therefore I still hope that there will be released many further books.
English Cover:
That is a Cover for my taste! *jip* :)!
All in all:
I want to give a recommendation for this book to every Black Dagger Fan and also to those who haven’t started this book yet. Please, just grab the first book (Dark Lover) and start to read this series because you won’t regret it!!
Rating:
5 of 5 points (I loved it – Buy it!!)
Quotes:
„Some things are destined to be — it just takes us a couple of tries
to get there.“
Thor: „You never knew the last time you were seeing someone. You didn’t know when the last argument happened, or the last time you had sex, or the last time you looked into their eyes and thanked God they were in your life.
After they were gone?
That was all you thought about.
Day and night.“
Xhex: „No, you’ve got it all wrong, John.“ Reading his emotions, she shook her head. „You’re not half the male you could be because of what was done to you. You’re twice what anyone else is because you survived.“
Qhuinn: „What is wrong with you, that you care so much about me?“
Blay: „What is wrong with you, that you can’t see why I would?“

Rezension: Vampirseele & Mondschwur
.
‚Vampirseele‘ & ‚Mondschwur‘
by J. R. Ward
(Lover Mine)
Black Dagger Brotherhood # 8/
Black Dagger #15 & #16
.
First Sentence:
„Er wünschte sich, er hätte mehr Zeit. Allerdings, was würde das in Wahrheit schon ändern ?“
Last Sentence:
„Das Schicksal war nicht immer einfach zu ertragen, doch letztendlich war alles genau so geschehen, wie es geschehen sollte.“
Klappentext vom Buchcover:
Keiner aus der Bruderschaft der BLACK DAGGER hätte geahnt, was das Schicksal für John Matthew bereithält – am wenigsten er selbst. Stück für Stück enthüllt sich nun, aufgewachsen als Vampir unter den Menschen, seine tatsächliche Herkunft und seine wahre Identität. Eine Identität, die über das Schicksal der gesamten Bruderschaft entscheiden wird…
Meine Gedanken zum Buch:
Ich versuche mich bei dieser Rezension vom achten Band (im Deutschen 15 + 16) kurz zu fassen und nicht wieder in Lobeshymnen zu verfallen. Aber um ehrlich zu sein, kann ich fast gar nicht anders, als Wards Schreibstil, ihre Kreativität und ihr Können zu bewundern und anzupreisen. Obwohl das hier nun schon der sagenhafte achte Band ist und ich jedesmal bevor ich zum Lesen beginne, damit rechne, dass ich dieses mal nicht so begeistert sein werde… überrascht sie mich von neuem. Auch dieser Teil hat mir wahnsinnig gut gefallen und ich konnte das Buch nicht aus der Hand legen. Zu meinem Glück war Wochenende als ich es begonnen habe und konnte es somit innerhalb von 1 ½ Tagen durchlesen und ich fand es klasse!
Obwohl immer wieder ein anderer Rhythmus in den Büchen vorkommt und auch vermehrt andere Gefühle angesprochen werden und hier zu Beginn vor allem Verzweiflung, Angst und Traurigkeit geherrscht hat, war es keine Sekunde langweilig oder nicht passend… es war alles so wie es sein sollte und das Ende war wie immer erhofft -> grandios! Aber darüber kann ich nicht mehr sagen, ich will ja nichts verraten. 😉
Nur soviel, das hier nun endlich John am Zug war und seine Geschichte, die wir ja schon aus den Vorgänger- Büchern kennen, anders aufgerollt wurde und zwar über Darius. Und es wurde auch die Vernetzung zwischen ihm und Xhex und Thor gezeigt. Das war zwar am Anfang etwas verwirrend, hat aber am Ende den gewünschten ‚Aha‘ – Effekt gebracht.
Johns Geschichte war für mich eine der traurigsten, aber auch eine der am heißesten. Er uns Xhex passen wie der ‚Deckel auf den Topf‘ und ich könnte ihn mir mit keiner anderen vorstellen.
Noch hinzu kam, dass es einen Höhepunkt im Kampf gegen die Lesser gab und durch Lash immer die Spannung aufrecht blieb. Interessant fand ich weiters wie Ward langsam Payne in die ganze Story verwickelt hat, bis zu dem Zeitpunkt, wo sie auf die andere Seite gekommen ist. Und ihre Verbindung zu Vishous finde ich genial, auch wenn ich vorher schon davon gewusst habe.
Einen bitteren Nachgeschmack lässt dieses Buch aber dennoch, wenn man nur an Thor oder die Jungfrau der Schrift denkt. Nicht weil es schlecht geschrieben wurde oder dergleichen, nein, … sondern weil man zu sehr mit Thors Tragödie mitfühlt und auch die Jungfrau der Schrift langsam anfängt zu bemitleiden. Ich war ja von Anfang an kein Fan von ihr, aber nun könnte es auch für sie wieder etwas bergauf gehen.
Was ich bei den ganzen Büchern in dieser Reihe so toll finde ist, dass obwohl die Hauptliebesgeschichte in jedem Buch fertig erzählt wird, immer wieder Nebenstränge oder auch der Hauptkampf mit den Lessern weitergeht und neue Erzählstränge anfangen sich zu bilden, die einem immer wieder neugierig machen und einem antreiben die Reihe sofort mit dem nächsten Buch weiter zu lesen. Daher hoffe ich nach wie vor, dass noch viele weitere Bücher erscheinen.
English Cover:
Das ist ein Cover nach meinem Geschmack! :p
All in all:
Eine Leseempfehlung für alle Black Dagger Fans und auch jene, die sich noch nicht mit der Materie beschäftigt haben. Bitte schnappt euch endlich das erste Buch in dieser Reihe und fängt an zu lesen!
