Lover Revealed - J.R. Ward

SPOLERS!! SPOLIERS!!! SPOILERS!!!! OK is that enough warning???

Description:

In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly war raging between vampires and their slayers. And there exists a secret band of brothers like no other - six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Now, an ally of the Black Dagger Brotherhood will face the challenge of his life and the evil of the ages.

Butch O'Neal is a fighter by nature. A hard living, ex-homicide cop, he's the only human ever to be allowed in the inner circle of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. And he wants to go even deeper into the vampire world- to engage in the turf war with the lessers. He's got nothing to lose. His heart belongs to a female vampire, an aristocratic beauty who's way out of his league. If he can't have her, then at least he can fight side by side with the Brothers...

Fate curses him with the very thing he wants. When Butch sacrifices himself to save a civilian vampire from the slayers, he falls prey to the darkest force in the war. Left for dead, found by a miracle, the Brotherhood calls on Marissa to bring him back, though even her love may not be enough to save him...


Other than Vishous so far I've been looking forward to the book of Butch "cop" O'Neal!! We've teased throughout the last three books with Butch and Marissa and I'm finally glad the two got their happily ever after!! The chemistry between Butch and Marissa is incredible and their passion is just as hot!!

The two do have to overcome quite a few obstacles what with Butch being a human and Marissa being a vampire and a part of the glymera (aristocracy of the vampire world). Right at the beginning of the book Butch is kidnapped by the lessers and tortured in hopes that he will give up information on the Brotherhood but Butch holds true to his brothers in arms but what happens next was totally shocking!! The Omega cuts off a finger and buries it in Butch's stomach and from there it takes Vishous (my fictional boyfriend) to remove it and use his own curse to help. In the end it comes out that Butch is the long foretold prophecy of the Lessening Society.  Now with the power to literally suck out the essence of the lessers and send them into the void without having to return to the vein of the Omega the Brotherhood now has the weapon they need to ultimately defeat the Omega. Also we find out that Butch and Vishous are the Dark and the Light and the Brotherhood needs both to wage the war against the Omega and the Lessenging Society. THEN it is found out that Butch is actually a descendant of the King, Wrath (Dark Lover). With that bloodline Vishous is able to turn Butch into a Vampire and then he is inducted into the society under the name of Dhestroyer!!

WHOA I didn't mean to get into all that but whatever!! The more I read of these books the more I want and well now I'm off to read the one I've been wanting to read since I read the first book Lover Unbound oh Vishous here I come!!
