Books like The Black Dagger Brotherhood Novels 1-4

I was thouroughly pleased when they put these books in groups. Becuase I'm a serious fan girl of the series and love rough and tough vampire men as much as the next vampire crazy, I've read all the books and feel a review for all of them is just a bit obsessive. But onto the good stuff. I love JR Ward's vampire series, and mostly for the fact that she does a good job of stripping the mystique of vampires and puts them into a new world that still intersects with our own reality. Though a lot of her characters are similar in personality she still maintains a unique take on each character and inmerses them into a plot that can sometimes repeat itself. The first few books in the series are by far greater in detail than the rest and grab my attention for to this day I still re-read them. But by the fifth book you felt that Ward was running out of plot lines or I was just getting use to her writing style. But overall as a romance novelist Ward is awesome. I do enjoy her writing style and creativity to create a world that is fresh and allows for romance junkies like myself feel good in our addictions. Book 1 -- Was a great introduction and set up a good series that kept me reading over and over. 3.5/5 starsBook 2 - Is my favorite. Something about Rhage makes me happy on the inside. 4.5/5 starsBook 3-- Was interesting setup in that it gave you compassion for the character you're suppose to fear and thought it was a good choice to bring that story out early into the series. 4/5 starsBook 4 -- Saw it coming but the angling was interesting. . . was a good ride. 3.5/5 stars
