Black Dagger Brotherhood: PRISONER OF NIGHT by J.R. Ward: Review

J.R. Ward is releasing a full-length Black Dagger Brotherhood e-book original PRISONER OF NIGHT today! I was so excited to be able to review an advance copy of this book!

I have read a few books by JR Ward before, including her amazing book Consumed that came out a few months ago. I absolutely fell in love with that book.

So when I heard a new story was coming out I immediately said sign me up! What I didn’t realize was that this was a completely different type of story. Definitely one you need to be prepared for. Here are my thoughts

ABOUT:
When Ahmare’s brother is abducted, there is nothing she won’t do to get him back safely. She is unprepared, however, for the lengths she will have to go to save his life. Paired with a dangerous but enticing prisoner, she embarks on an odyssey into another world.

Duran, betrayed by his father, imprisoned in a dungeon for decades, has survived only because of his thirst for vengeance. He has been biding his time to escape and is shocked to find an unlikely and temporary freedom in the form of a determined young female.

Battling against deadly forces and facing unforeseen peril, the pair are in a race to save Ahmare’s brother. As time runs out, and the unthinkable looms, even true love may not be enough to carry them through.

PRISONER OF NIGHT by J.R. Ward: Review

I never read any of the other books in the series so I am not sure if I was missing something or not. However, to me, this was a standalone. I had no issues following the story.

This book smacks you in the face soon as you start it. It is raw and gruesome in parts, written with such imagery that you almost want to read it in bits and pieces due to the violence. But it also compels you to never put it down!

It’s a story about vampires, but not a traditional image that we normally would expect. This is a story about the battle of good and evil. A story of right over wrong. A story of love, compassion, and understanding.

It’s a thriller and a romance with incredibly strong, fierce, and insightful characters that make you cringe on one hand and cheer for a well deserved happily ever after on the other hand.

I don’t typically read a lot of paranormal or urban fantasy books so I was intrigued to say the least. There are few authors that can write a love story in the midst of violence and payback well and J.R. Ward is one of the best!

Prisoner of Night by J.R.Ward is an all consuming read that may change the way you feel about paranormal romance. Just be prepared for the raw, gripping description.
