About this book:
Within the brotherhood, Rhage is the vampire with the strongest appetites. He's the best fighter, the quickest to act on his impulses, and the most voracious lover - for inside him burns a ferocious curse cast by the Scribe Virgin. Owned by this dark side, Rhage fears the times when his inner dragon is unleashed, making him a danger to everyone around him.

Mary Luce, a survivor of many hardships, is unwittingly thrown into the vampire world and reliant on Rhage's protection. With a life-threatening curse of her own. Mary is not looking for love. She lost her faith in miracles years ago. But when Rhage's intense animal attraction turns into something more emotional, he knows that he must make Mary his alone. And while their enemies close in, Mary fights desperately to gain life eternal with the one she loves...

My thoughts:
When I first started this series, I didn't think that I was going to like it because I'm not big on "warriors". I LOVE vampires but not warriors. So I was hesitant to pick it up and start the series. I was talked into it by my aunt and a friend that I met online on paperbackswap. So I figured I'd give it a try. I love this series!!! I feel like I'm a part of these books like I'm actually there with them. Like I'm reading about my family or friends. This book hit so close to home because Mary has cancer. I found out that my dad has cancer about a month ago. I had a hard time reading about her cancer talks with the doctor and such. J.R. Ward is a fantastic writer and to think that all this creativity was from one woman's mind is beyond me. I just can't fathom that someone could come up with all this and put it into words that a reader can actually picture it in their minds.
