Weekend Book Club--The Savior by J.R. Ward

THE SAVIOR is the 17th installment of J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series and it does not disappoint. This is everything you'd want from a BDB book.

Ward has created a world unlike any other. Her writing is gritty and oftentimes the storylines are difficult. There are books in this series I've read over and over. Others I've read once and will likely never read again because they're too emotionally draining. She's created characters you love. You'll laugh with them, cry with them, and keep turning pages to find out what happens next.

In the venerable history of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, only one male has ever been expelled—but Murhder’s insanity gave the Brothers no choice. Haunted by visions of a female he could not save, he nonetheless returns to Caldwell on a mission to right the wrong that ruined him. However, he is not prepared for what he must face in his quest for redemption.

Dr. Sarah Watkins, researcher at a biomedical firm, is struggling with the loss of her fellow scientist fiancé. When the FBI starts asking about his death, she questions what really happened and soon learns the terrible truth: Her firm is conducting inhumane experiments in secret and the man she thought she knew and loved was involved in the torture.

As Murhder and Sarah’s destinies become irrevocably entwined, desire ignites between them. But can they forge a future that spans the divide separating the two species? And as a new foe emerges in the war against the vampires, will Murhder return to his Brothers... or resume his lonely existence forevermore?
