Dark Lover by J.R. Ward

I was delighted to find a new vampire book in my TBR pile this weekend. It's called DARK LOVER by debut author J.R. Ward.

Here is the official book description:

In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly turf war going on between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brothers like no other-six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Yet none of them relishes killing more than Wrath, the leader of The Black Dagger Brotherhood. The only purebred vampire left on earth, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who murdered his parents centuries ago. But, when one of his most trusted fighters is killed-leaving his half-breed daughter unaware of his existence or her fate-Wrath must usher her into the world of the undead-a world of sensuality beyond her wildest dreams.

Fans of Sherrilyn Kenyon's DARK HUNTER series are in for a very plesanat surprise. While this new author and series is similiar in some respects -- J.R. Ward uses modern references to keep things edgy and current, J.R. takes things up a notch. The tone is darker, more violent, and simply more delicious. (Is this possible??)

This book is due to be released September 2005 from Signet. Unfortunately many of you will have to wait as I have my hands on an advanced reading copy.

Wrath is a larger than life vampire hunk. This book is sensual, dark, and yummy. Enjoy!
