Our view
With “Lover Revealed”, the “Black Dagger Brotherhood” series gets an indulgent vampire romance with a harder edge. J. R. Ward centres it on Butch O’Neal, a former police detective and the only human the Brotherhood trusts, and on Marissa, a vampire of high birth he believes he can never have. Some readers wish his bond with Vishous had been given more scenes. The book is a love story and a vampire war at once.

About the book
R. Ward’s “instantly addictive”* novels of the Black Dagger Brotherhood continue as an ally of the Brotherhood must face his own dark desires.... Butch O’Neal is a fighter by nature. A hard-living ex–homicide cop, he’s the only human ever to be allowed in the inner circle of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. And he wants to go even deeper into the vampire world. He’s got nothing to lose. His heart belongs to a female vampire, an aristocratic beauty who’s way out of his league. If he can’t have Marissa, then at least he can fight side by side with the Brothers. Fate curses him with the very thing he wants. When Butch sacrifices himself to save a civilian vampire from the slayers, he falls prey to the darkest force in the war. Left for dead, he’s found by a miracle, and the Brotherhood calls on Marissa to bring him back. But even her love may not be enough to save him. *Lynn Viehl
