At the sound of the deep, grave voice, Wrath, son of Wrath, had an instinct to look around for his father … a spark of hope that the death had not occurred and the great ruler was as yet still with them.
How long would this sad searching last? It was such useless folly, especially as the sacred vestments of the vampire King were upon himself, the bejeweled sashes and silken coat and ceremonial daggers adorning his own body. Series: Black Dagger Brotherhood 4. Genres: Romance , Fantasy.
Against the backdrop of ZeroSum's VIP area, she was something else, dressed in white patent leather strips, a cross between Barbie and Barbarella. As Rhage transferred his weight from one shitkicker to the other, he felt like his bloodstream had come to a soft boil and the bubbles were tickling the underside of every fucking square inch of his flesh.
Random muscle fibers misfired all over his body, the spasms causing fingers to twitch, knees to jerk, shoulders to tighten like he was about to go tennis racket on something. It was the campus from Dead Poets Society. Look Inside.
Aug 01, Minutes Buy. For the better part of the story I just wanted someone to kick her judgmental, arrogant, narrow-minded butt. I have only read half of this book so far, but I think this will be the best of the four.
I mean, how can you top this?! It was as close to perfect as it could get. The heroine was a hoot to read. A no-nonsense, board-room killer lawyer with a sense of humor to die for and a level head on her shoulders.
I absolutely adored her. And her hero…Yum, yum. The perfect guy. I could have done with a little shorter hair, though.
This story indeed has it all going for it. And most important of all, great characters even the supporting cast left an impression. An amazing story. Susan Squire 's Beyond the Night is yet another of her "Companion" stories. I can't seem to escape those. I only have her stories in novellas and each and every one of them is a "Companion".
I'm not fond of that parasitic critter. I always get this nasty mental picture of the alien who ate crazy people in an episode of Buffy and I cringe. Vampires are supposed to be sexy, that mental picture isn't sexy Somewhere in the middle I think my brain simply shorted out.
The whole universe she's concocted was so complex, with mages, witches, gods, Hindu tribes yadda yadda, I just couldn't follow anymore without taking out a pad and pencil and I was too bored and too lazy to get those.
Maybe this is part of a series, or start of one, I don't know, but it was a little too much info to cram into a novella. Also, something must have rub off her friend and co-author Sherrilyn Kenyon , because the fighting scene and subsequent quasi-reunion of all the above mentioned fantasy critters was a little too similar to Kenyon's Hunters, complete with the Big Boss of the some sorts that could've been Ash or Savitar in disguise.
Again, the first two novellas earn this compilation that nice grade you see up there. Out of those two, J. Ward 's is the best, Fury's story is a far second, while the other two are not worth the deteriorated brain cells. Technically, I only read the Kenyon story, but seeing as I have no desire to tackle the other contributions, I'm calling this book read.
Enjoyed Fury's story. Of the WereHunters, the wolves have always been my favorites. This was a nice complement to Vane and Bride's story. I think Fang's story is coming soon. My only complaint is that the shorts always seem to be over before you get into them. Reading Fang, Vane, and Fury's stories back to back enhanced each story.
Although, I guess there was some twisting in the timeline. Vane's story, written first, was the most standalone. Excluding the intro and the epilogue, it took place over about a month. Fury's story, a short, covered an even shorter period. Although Fury and Lia knew each other as children, long before Fury flipped from Arcadian to Kattagaria and was kicked out of his mother's patria. So the romance had longer legs than the span of the book.
Love - betrayal - love again. The Fang's story is the longest book wise. And his romance the slowest to build. Not sure the literary equivalent, but Fury and Lia were the childhood friends who didn't find true love till much later in life. And Fang and Aimee, clearly Romeo and Juliette, without the tragic ending. Nice balance there.
Spread among the Dark-Hunter books, they weren't as good as they were back-to-back. You know, I'm even thinking of family trees and timelines, so you know the wolves hooked me in a way the series as a whole didn't.
Ward contribution, my first Good short. Not sure if I'd like a whole series of the ultra alpha male, though. I've got a particular fondness for other male archetypes - the artist, the intellectual, the submissive. Decent read. Boy meets girl vampire in a historical setting. It's part of her "Companions" series. I think I own, but have never read, the first book in that series. The "full book" 5 star rating actually applies to the Kenyon contribution.
Nov 21, MelissaB rated it really liked it Shelves: paranormal-romance , darkhunters , reads. Fury's story - the heroine was not likable in this story, she betrayed the hero twice in only a little over pages. She spent centuries hating Fury's type of Were Hunter to the point of trying to kill Fury when she found out then allowing him to be tortured - then I am supposed to believe the last 10 pages where she suddenly realizes he is a good person and all Katagaria are not bad.
Sorry but I needed a bit more time to believe that plus I don't buy degree turns in attitude from small causes. Overall, the best part of the story was seeing Vane, Bride and their small son - that was awesome!
The Story of Son - great little story, but I expect nothing else from J. View all 4 comments. Apr 06, Raven rated it really liked it. Short and sweet, just what I needed to past a leisure evening. I'm hoping we will get to see more of this vampire in the future books of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. I really want to know who Micheal's father is and how everyone will react to him and his family.

Dead After Dark is anthology of novellas written by 4 different authors. R Ward — my favorite Blurb: Claire Stroughton is a beautiful lawyer who would rather spend the night with a legal brief than the man of her dreams.
Then a routine client meeting turns dangerous—and deeply sensual—when she is held captive by a gorgeous man with an unworldly hunger… I loved the story of Claire, the workaholic, career-orientated lawyer , who does not need a man in her life to define who she is and not for her the marriage, children thing, though she has nothing against that but just not for her.
Visiting one of her elderly clients who lives in a creepy Gothic mansion just outside Caldwell, NY aha…BlackDaggerBrothehood I thought…but no, no link to those vampire males!!! But hey, Claire is not your usual damsel in distress, believe me!!!!! She will spend 3 days with him and then she will be let go not remembering anything about the incident. Yet, as Claire learns about the cruelty and pain he has endured since he was 12 years old, when he was imprisoned by his wicked mother and her evil butler and discovering his tenderness, innocence and goodness and of course an unexplainable attraction she feels towards him, makes a decision that she will rescue Michael the name she has given him as he reminds her of Archangel Michael and get him away from the prison that has caused him such heartache and pain.
I was so touched by Michael…this kind, honorable, confused and tender person who never wants to hurt or cause pain to others despite the cruelty he has endured for the last 56 years …totally isolated from everything. He has never felt warmth and love until he meets Claire. A true virgin, romantic, tender hero who slowly learns that he is not the monster he has been led to believe. The sex scenes they do it a lot of times!!!!! I knew they were meant to be together..
Wished that this could have been a full length novel. There was so much more that I wanted to know about their lives but I was so so happy to see how Michael and Claire found their happiness together in the end. Talk about pulling my heartstrings!!!!!! Romance J. R Ward has created a vampire world, including the beyond popular BDB Series that is compelling, addictive, drawing you into this place of incredibly gorgeous, strong males and females like no other author has in the paranormal romance genre.
Her writing is vivid, believable, so now!!!! Whilst this story is not part of that series, I could easily see Michael and Claire with the brothers. Who knows…maybe one day!!!! I think they would fit in very nicely. There is one thing that really bothered me though….. JR Ward is amazing in creating the ultimate alpha-male…but I find her woman characters are a bit off-putting at times….
The women in the BDB Series fare no better…they either doormats who stay in the shadows of their alpha-males or like Xhex, who is a warrior, is described as having a muscled body like a male with short, crew cut!!!!! Are there any in-between kinds of females who can be strong without thinking or looking like a man!!!! But this little gripe did not stop me from engaging with Claire. I loved this touching and romantic story…a great plot, interesting and endearing characters.
Blurb: Shadow of the Moon by Sherrilyn Kenyon Angelia has fought her entire life to make herself strong. I would have preferred to read a full length book on him but half way through the story I changed my mind. The beginning is really great. And his wife Bride and son………they are such an awesome couple… but after meeting Angelia, a human-wolf who hates wolf-humans even though she and Fury had been such close friends when they were younger.
I hated her!!!!! How could she allow Fury to be tortured the way he was by members of her team???? A true loyal friend who has always loved her!!!!!
She infuriated me even more as she blew hot and cold towards Fury…. Make up your mind girl!!!!! Apr 28, Fergeygirl rated it it was amazing Shelves: anthology-books , shape-shifters , fast-paced-storyline , ghosts-love-story , own-and-read. I'm giving this book the 5 stars because I really liked three out of the four stories in the book. I might have likes Susan Squires a little more, but for some reason it didn't grab me from the beginning. With short stories you have so little time to get into the story before it is ending and her story just didn't grab me soon enough!
Fast paced as a shorty story should be and I really felt like I couldn't put the book down while reading it. This is the first I'm giving this book the 5 stars because I really liked three out of the four stories in the book. This is the first time I have read anything by this author, but I am ready to start adding her other books to my TBR pile now. This was a side story about the Werehunters. I have read her Dark Hunters to the current book and these characters are not a huge part of the entire series.
Still wonderful and great ending!! Of course there was a glimpse of Acheron in it. Wonderful in my opinion.
Don't expect the same rules to apply here as they do in her Brothers series. I really enjoyed this one and once I realized the differences it made the story so much better!!
I will say I enjoyed the ending but the story seemed to start out to slow. I put it down at least twice, but I was determined to finish the book so I picked it up again. I am one of those people that expects by the first two or three chapters of a regular book to be interested. Considering the length short stories usually are I expect that feel after the first chapter and it wasn't there. I look forward to future stories by all the authors and maybe with time I'll find a favorite by Susan Squires.
After re-reading Night Play the other day, I was curious to know who Fury's heroine was and how his story played out. I'm sorry to report this was one of the worst novellas I've ever read. Angelia, Fury's heroine, is a small minded, judgmental bitch.
She treated Fury abominably and refused to accept the responsibility for her actions. She was his best friend as they were growing up, yet as soon as she realized Fury was Katagaria his base form is wolf instead of Arcadia human base form she st After re-reading Night Play the other day, I was curious to know who Fury's heroine was and how his story played out. She was his best friend as they were growing up, yet as soon as she realized Fury was Katagaria his base form is wolf instead of Arcadia human base form she stabbed him and left him for dead.
Now, years later, she and her cohorts have a weapon that will keep weres from changing forms and make their magic useless. They kidnap Fury to find out what he knows about it, and begin torturing him when he won't tell them. This goes on for hours. Angelia doesn't actually participate in the torture, but she sees and hears it. After they brand him, she finally steps in and takes Fury away.
Not my idea of a good heroine. Fury was his same adorable self throughout the book, but the fact that he was paired with someone who betrayed him so badly really makes me angry. Fury had never known love or acceptance. I find it really hard to believe he's going to get it from this backstabbing, self-righteous bitch.
Apr 13, Iva rated it it was amazing Shelves: too-hot , romance , paranormal , favorite , vampire , stayed-up-late , novella. This review is only about The Story of Son by J. R Ward. The other stories are connected to series I don't follow so I didn't read those. Oh hell. When I found out there's an anthology with a story by J. Ward I didn't even had time to blink before I found it. And I don't have to mention that I devoured it in a single evening.
And it was ah-mazing!! I just realized I became such an addict. Ward addict. Her books are a guilty pleasure and a fix of the best drug on the market! This story is about pages long and WHY, oh why wasn't it a full length book?
But hell, even this long it was so good. Claire was very cool and Michael Dear Ward. Woman, you're doing it right!!! Michael was a sweet guy straight from the Victorian era, even an amazing artist, and I want moreeeeee! I just hope you put them in BDB one day. Pretty pleeeease!

I got this book for the J R Ward story, and I was not disappointed at all, It was a mesmerizing tale and love and self discovery, for both of the main characters. I was truly amazed at how J R was able to pack so much into such a short story.
She has yet to not amaze me with her writing. My heart jump right into the pages of her story and fell in love with main character because he was so fragile even though in so many ways he wasn't. I love how Claire opened herself to him and was so soft and l I got this book for the J R Ward story, and I was not disappointed at all, It was a mesmerizing tale and love and self discovery, for both of the main characters.

Shadow of the moon, another short story from the dark hunters series, always good Shadow of the Moon. He's never seen again in any of her books.
Second, SK's story was great as usual. Shelves: paranormal-romance , read , desert-island-keepers , fantasy-romance.
This Dark-Hunter novella is about Fury Kattalakis, the somewhat recently discovered brother of Vane Night Play , and the woman he fell for centuries ago but who betrayed him when she found out he was Katagari rather than the Arcadian they always believed him to be. When they were young, Fury and Angelia were best friends, but when the story opens there is a lot of bad blood between them, and with good reason.
She hates all Katagari, because they killed her family. He's none too happy with her, because she stood by and nearly allowed her patria to kill him when she discovered he was Katagari. Now, four hundred years later, they're unwillingly reunited. I was glad that Angelia seemed to have a conscience when it came to torturing and killing, even when it involved someone she thought she should hate.
I was also pleased that she eventually freed Fury from the torture her cohorts were inflicting upon him. I loved that Fury was honorable and stayed true to a vow he'd made to Angelia all those years ago, refusing to harm her, even though he would have had every reason to. The loyalty the wolves show to those they love, especially their mates, is very sweet and romantic.
Fury and the rest of his family get to show Angelia that they aren't the monsters she's always believed them to be. I liked how Angelia had never forgotten Fury's friendship and that she had always wanted a future with him until she found out the truth.
It was fun watching the wheels turning in her head as she realizes that the Katagari aren't so bad after all, and their love scene after she chooses him to sate her mating heat was smokin' hot. Admittedly, their declarations of love come pretty quickly and would have been a tad more believable in a longer story. However, their interactions were so tender and romantic, this would have been a five-star read for me anyway if not for the rather odd ending.
Shadow of the Moon allows readers to visit several other Dark-Hunter characters, including Vane and Bride, along with their little boy, Trace. Fang Bad Moon Rising is there too, still trying to secretly pass notes to his love, Aimee.
Of course, Aimee's overprotective bear clan, including Dev No Mercy , is there trying to scare the wolves away. I absolutely loved the brief visit with Zarek Dance with the Devil. I really miss him and his sarcasm. Savitar, the leader of all the shifters, popped in during the final pages to end the dispute between the wolves and the lions.
All in all, Shadow of the Moon was a very enjoyable read. Once again, Sherrilyn Kenyon proves she can write the kind of stories I really love. I just wish she did it more often in her longer books.
