My Review:   A must read series! You will fall for this tortured hero within the first few chapters.    *Favorite ♥

This is book three, in the continuing series of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, and I must say it is the best so far. The story is centered around Zhadist. A tortured, moody, son of a b, who oozes sex appeal. Z has been put thru alot of torture in his past and it effects every aspect of his being with his present.
A ruthless, withdrawn, angry Brother he must come to terms with his feelings for Isabella, a beautiful,  Aristocrat vampire, who is imprisoned by a lesser. Lesser's are killers of vamps, and Z is tortured with the fact that he cannot find Bella and save her from the Lesser.

 A manhunt is soon underway and the Brothers soon find the badly tortured Bella. Z will stop at nothing to save her and helps her heal her wounds and cares for her, and soon deeper feelings are surfaced for Bella. He knows she is too good for him, and his past has come back to haunt him.
 Can he put his past demons behind him and fall for the beautiful Bella? Can he kill the Lesser who brutalized Bella in time before he comes back to reclaim what he thinks is his? Can the Brothers overcome a great sadness and loss, to be able to continue being the protectors that they have trained to be? Will a Brother have to choose the ultimate sacrifice and lose everything now that he has found something to live for?

 Find out and read this exciting, hard to put down, turn paging, continuing story of the ruthless, strong, Brothers, of the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series.
