Shavage has a death wish。 Unfortunately he can’t die。 But he meets Mae who is looking for The Book to save her brother。 He decides to help her because for some reason， he can’t resist her。 Now he has a purpose and also the potential for the Brotherhood to find out he is still alive。 He knows they won’t welcome him back。 But this story has a lot going on and you never know what fate has in store for you。

Let me start by saying I love the characters of Sahvage and Mae！ I also loved Balz in this book and I can't wait to read more of him。 Things I didn't like about this book was over all I felt like it was a filler book。 The storyline continues but this just seemed off for my normal love of Ward and the BDB world。 My overall opinion is this book is good but not as great as the others！ I do think we needed this story so that the brothers can continue。 Let me start by saying I love the characters of Sahvage and Mae！ I also loved Balz in this book and I can't wait to read more of him。 Things I didn't like about this book was over all I felt like it was a filler book。 The storyline continues but this just seemed off for my normal love of Ward and the BDB world。 My overall opinion is this book is good but not as great as the others！ I do think we needed this story so that the brothers can continue。 。。。more

2。5Pros: The first half of the book definitely had me turning pages as fast as I could， swept along by the fast pacing and suspense。Cons: The characters I've come to love in this series felt like props in the background， while the attention was fixed on new characters。 I personally do not like Devina as a replacement villain for the Omega， though I'm sure there are other readers out there who feel differently。 （view spoiler）[I could not understand why Rehvenge was so dismissive of Sahvage in the 2。5Pros: The first half of the book definitely had me turning pages as fast as I could， swept along by the fast pacing and suspense。Cons: The characters I've come to love in this series felt like props in the background， while the attention was fixed on new characters。 I personally do not like Devina as a replacement villain for the Omega， though I'm sure there are other readers out there who feel differently。 （view spoiler）[I could not understand why Rehvenge was so dismissive of Sahvage in the beginning， not even questioning why a huge warrior vampire （as big as a Brother） was participating in a human fight club。 That just seemed strange， not to mention the fact that Rehvenge didn't follow up with Mae or Tallah regarding the book when it was first mentioned to him。 （hide spoiler）]Overall， I enjoyed the book， but it was not one of my favorites。 。。。more

I am not so sure about what I just read。 It was a good story but I kind of feel like it was all over the place。 I like to think that I have a pretty good memory but this made me question what I remember。 I think I will wait a few days and re-read the book before I write an actual review。

Another winnerI've been reading the Black dagger brotherhood for more years than I can count now and JR Ward never lets me down。 Every book is a new chapter in lives that I just love， keeps me connected in the old characters and brings new characters and flows into new adventures to come， I just love the series it's my absolute favorite。 Another winnerI've been reading the Black dagger brotherhood for more years than I can count now and JR Ward never lets me down。 Every book is a new chapter in lives that I just love， keeps me connected in the old characters and brings new characters and flows into new adventures to come， I just love the series it's my absolute favorite。 。。。more

3 1/2 stars I have mixed feeling about this story。 I loved Sahvage， I really adored him。 Mae on the other hand was the biggest idiot this series has ever seen and I just couldn’t stand her。 She was childish and selfish， and I kinda was hoping she would just die by the end of the story。 I loved that we got to see Rehv， but at the same time I felt like Lover Unveiled lacked a whole lot of Brothers。 There was so much page time with these new characters that it felt more like a spin off series than 3 1/2 stars I have mixed feeling about this story。 I loved Sahvage， I really adored him。 Mae on the other hand was the biggest idiot this series has ever seen and I just couldn’t stand her。 She was childish and selfish， and I kinda was hoping she would just die by the end of the story。 I loved that we got to see Rehv， but at the same time I felt like Lover Unveiled lacked a whole lot of Brothers。 There was so much page time with these new characters that it felt more like a spin off series than the main BDB book。 On the other hand， I loved that we got to see Devina in this book。 Not that watered down version from The Sinner， the real Devina。 Evil to her core。 I loved it because she is such an amazing villain。 Overall this book felt like what it is， a transition book。 It wasn’t bad， but it wasn’t great。 。。。more

Lover Unveiled#19 Black Dagger Brotherhood seriesJR WardBook nineteen in the Warden’s BDB series continues her intriguing and inventive new direction for the brotherhood and the species and having just eliminated the Lessoning society brings back an old evil entity to Caldwell looking for love in all the wrong places and wreaking-havoc on humans， the brotherhood and the entire vampire race and brings back a once cursed brother thought long dead to help put the evil genie back in her bottle。Mae l Lover Unveiled#19 Black Dagger Brotherhood seriesJR WardBook nineteen in the Warden’s BDB series continues her intriguing and inventive new direction for the brotherhood and the species and having just eliminated the Lessoning society brings back an old evil entity to Caldwell looking for love in all the wrong places and wreaking-havoc on humans， the brotherhood and the entire vampire race and brings back a once cursed brother thought long dead to help put the evil genie back in her bottle。Mae lost her parents in the Lesser raids that decimated the race leaving only her and her brother， when he’s killed by an unknown attacker she’s bound and determined to do whatever it takes to bring him back to life。 So she sets out to locate a book of spells that could potentially save him and ends up at an illegal human underground fight where she saves the life of the most handsome and fearsome Vampire male she’s ever seen。 But she has no time for romance she’s on a mission。The Brother Sahvage is supposed to be dead， and cursed as a Warlock even though he never had anything to do with magic， he did evade death and for the centuries since the brotherhood put dire， do not open， warnings on his coffin has been living on the fringes of the race and the Black Dagger Brotherhood looking for his cousin Raven the one with the real magic。 He knew coming to Caldwell the new seat of the brotherhood was a bad idea and when a female vampire saves his life and ties him further to her plight to save her brother and his former Black Dagger Brothers his fate is sealed。Every new edition of the BDB is amazing and just when you think it can’t get any better it does。 The Warden is a magician and the new direction she’s taking the series on is ground-breakingly original in both the storyline and world-building and that was truly evident in this novel when she brings back from the dead a brother from way back when and an evil entity who needs to die and seems to be indestructible。 Plus the audience gets catch ups on all the other brothers their shellans and the entire cast of characters from this innovative series。 Let’s chat about the stars of this novel， Sahvage and Mae， there was a review that said Mae was unlikable but that is NOT true， she’s exceptional， maternal， compassionate and brilliantly flawed and then there’s Sahvage， the mysterious， cursed hard to kill brother who’s come back from the dead and their love story was emotional and fabulous。 Cut to the evil doer， Devina who BDB fans are a bit familiar with but who was the main antagonist is JR’s Fallen Angel series and now comes to call to create chaos for the BDB， Lassiter and the species。 Brilliant！ Fans of UF and of this incredible （should be read in order） series will find this unputdownable。Narration:Reading this series is fantastic but if you can swing it do get the series on Audible， the performance by Jim Frangione is remarkable。 In this edition he perfectly nails every accent and attitude， every male and female portrayal and every snark or serious moment and his representation of Devina was amazing， he got every one of her over the top sociopathic， murderous affectations to a tea。Bravo Jim！！ 。。。more

In every long series there are generally one or two books that fall flat; This is not one of those。 Satisfying overlapping threads make this one of Ward's books I really enjoyed。 And enough scene-setting for several more books at least。Who will be next: Balthazar？ Maybe even Lassiter？？？？ In every long series there are generally one or two books that fall flat; This is not one of those。 Satisfying overlapping threads make this one of Ward's books I really enjoyed。 And enough scene-setting for several more books at least。Who will be next: Balthazar？ Maybe even Lassiter？？？？ 。。。more

New characters， new enemies， new drama。。。 Am I the only one who feels this new BDB book as if it was the season premiere of a very long TV series？With the Omega gone， I knew there would be new things coming to the BDB World。 And some questions answered （finally， we know what's up with the coffins！！）。 At the same time， lots of new questions appearing to get the readers' attraction。 In that line， I loved Sahvage。 The way Ms。 Ward introduces him， out of nowhere， was effective。 Sadly， I can't say th New characters， new enemies， new drama。。。 Am I the only one who feels this new BDB book as if it was the season premiere of a very long TV series？With the Omega gone， I knew there would be new things coming to the BDB World。 And some questions answered （finally， we know what's up with the coffins！！）。 At the same time， lots of new questions appearing to get the readers' attraction。 In that line， I loved Sahvage。 The way Ms。 Ward introduces him， out of nowhere， was effective。 Sadly， I can't say the same thing about Mae。 This character doesn't have a decent background， IMO， and her behavior sometimes is annoying。 On the other hand， their love story， which was supposed to be the main theme of the book， loses momentum in some parts of the plot， compared with the other parallel stories。 Balthazar， Nate and Lassiter （oh， FINALLY a glimpse of his story！！） take all the attention。 And when the secondary stories are more important than the main one。。。 Houston， we have a problem！！Anyway， the book is interesting enough to keep the reader attached to it。 I really like it because it has new things to explore。 Waiting for the next installment of this series。 。。。more

Sadly this series is going down hill。 I still reread the earlier books。 As I have a couple favorites。 But these later ones leave a lot to be desired。 I'm feeling a little Grey's Anatomy-ish。 Like I need to just walk away but I have over a decade invested！ Sadly this series is going down hill。 I still reread the earlier books。 As I have a couple favorites。 But these later ones leave a lot to be desired。 I'm feeling a little Grey's Anatomy-ish。 Like I need to just walk away but I have over a decade invested！ 。。。more

Ebook borrowed from library It's an interesting book for sure。 The "COUPLE" of this book。。。we the readers really have no idea who they are; and with most of the books， we've been introduced to someone in the couple in a previous book。 Now I will say that I have read most of this series out of order。 If I find a paperback for sale， library book to borrow - either online or the actual library - then I grab it and read。 Soooo。。。it's Not unusual for me to be unfamiliar with someone。 But I've read so Ebook borrowed from library It's an interesting book for sure。 The "COUPLE" of this book。。。we the readers really have no idea who they are; and with most of the books， we've been introduced to someone in the couple in a previous book。 Now I will say that I have read most of this series out of order。 If I find a paperback for sale， library book to borrow - either online or the actual library - then I grab it and read。 Soooo。。。it's Not unusual for me to be unfamiliar with someone。 But I've read some other reviews， and a lot mention confusion about Sahvage and Mae。Sahvage is actually one of the BDB from a looooooonnnngggggg time ago。 Mae is just an average vampire civilian （not of the glymera。。。the aristocrats of the vampires）。 Mae shows up to an illegal fight， searching for Revhenge to inquire about the BOOK。 Sahvage becomes distracted by Mae during the fight， gets stabbed in the neck。 Mae thinks he's dying。 Saves him with her blood and they don't know it。。。。But their love story begins。We have Rhoger， Mae's dead brother on ice。 He's why Mae needs the BOOK。 To bring him back to life。 We have Devina the demon。 The "owner" of the BOOK， who is on a bit of a murdering spree， trying to get the BOOK back。 Balz， a vampire Brother who gets seduced by Devina。 And has an interesting moment with a human detective。 （See？ They'll be a couple in a future book。） The most interesting character for me was Rahvyn/Elyn （Sahvage's cousin who used the BOOK so he cannot die）， and the interesting part happens in the epilogue。 Lassiter！！ Very revealing conversation between him and Vishous。。。。"all I can tell you is that I never saw anything that was meant for me， true？"*** I already feel bad for the "kid"， Nate。 Because he has a thing for Elyn and I'm not sure she's meant for him。 So his 1st heartbreak？ ***Ms Ward keeps it interesting。 And I'll keep reading。 。。。more

This one took a bit to get into。 With the POV flipping every chapter， it's easy to get distracted/lost when listening to the audible version。 I was a huge fan of Sahvage， but Mae is definitely not my favorite Female。 For me， their story of coming together was just filler for the driving force this book is for setting up the next Big Bad Battle on the horizon。 Rev is at the forefront of this book， and it was so nice seeing him and Ehlena again。Balthazar 。。。 man， I'm REALLY looking forward to his This one took a bit to get into。 With the POV flipping every chapter， it's easy to get distracted/lost when listening to the audible version。 I was a huge fan of Sahvage， but Mae is definitely not my favorite Female。 For me， their story of coming together was just filler for the driving force this book is for setting up the next Big Bad Battle on the horizon。 Rev is at the forefront of this book， and it was so nice seeing him and Ehlena again。Balthazar 。。。 man， I'm REALLY looking forward to his book！Nate is working construction， and is enamored with a mysterious Female who appears from a ball of light。 Devina is stepping up her game， bigtime。 She's ultimate evil， who just can't understand why she can't find someone to love and support her。 You know Eddie & Adrian are going to show up soon。The last 3rd of the book is completely KICK ASS。 Coffins 。。。 yep， we finally get to find out what the heck they are。 Sahvage steps up in a big way。 We find out who the mysterious Female is， and who she's connected to。Lassiter is SHOOK at the end， and V is ever so helpful to the angel :） 。。。more

A bit too convoluted and light in the romance this time。 Mae was under developed。 Too many different plot threads at once and some major witchy new powers introduced without too much explanation。 Not the best but still better than Payne’s book。

Very Mixed Feelings I'm going to try and Explain this without spoilers。I count myself a true fan of the BDB and this is the second lowest rating I have ever given a book of the series。 I'm at a loss for how baffled this story left me over all。 We got left with twice as many questions as we got answers and some of the scenes just made no sense in my mind what so ever。 I love the introduction of new characters， when there is clear plan and purpose for said characters。 There are some here that have Very Mixed Feelings I'm going to try and Explain this without spoilers。I count myself a true fan of the BDB and this is the second lowest rating I have ever given a book of the series。 I'm at a loss for how baffled this story left me over all。 We got left with twice as many questions as we got answers and some of the scenes just made no sense in my mind what so ever。 I love the introduction of new characters， when there is clear plan and purpose for said characters。 There are some here that have none of those things。 I also dislike when established characters are left by the wayside， or worse go through personality changes。 That seems to be happening off and on throughout the stories recently especially this one and that saddens me。I'm hoping the next will shed better light on things。 。。。more

The main story line was interesting and JR Ward always has a crazy way of tying in all sorts of different stories that may not seem related initially but in the end it all comes together。。。it's always very interesting to see how things play out！ However， the romantic element in this book kind of fell to the way side in favor of setting things up for future stories。 Evie and Sahvage's story seemed to be moving along alright， at least romantically/sexual attraction wise， but they always seemed to The main story line was interesting and JR Ward always has a crazy way of tying in all sorts of different stories that may not seem related initially but in the end it all comes together。。。it's always very interesting to see how things play out！ However， the romantic element in this book kind of fell to the way side in favor of setting things up for future stories。 Evie and Sahvage's story seemed to be moving along alright， at least romantically/sexual attraction wise， but they always seemed to be at odds and before i knew it the book was at 95% and they still hadn't gotten together and when they finally did， it felt slapped together quickly and then it was over。。。i did not like that。 I think the entire last 10% of the book felt rushed， including his reunion with his cousin and the BDB。。。there just wasn't much focus on either reunion， a neat little bow was put on it and again the book was done。 I did like the potential set-up for Lassiter and Rahvyn and Balz and Erika though。。。definitely something to look forward to。 。。。more

Definitely not your average BDB book but I really liked where the story evolved to。 After so many books it still amazes me that I fall into the story and can not wait for the next one。 Thank you J。R。 Ward for allowing these characters to chanel themselves through you。
