J.R. Ward returns to the Black Dagger
Brotherhood world with this novella. PRISONER OF NIGHT features two vampires that have
been through hell. Ahmare has had her brother taken from her and the
only way she will be able to get him back is if she can retrieve
something.
Duran has been imprisoned for twenty-one years and his first chance to
escape involves helping Ahmare. The problem is, neither one of them
know who to trust and this unwilling journey soon becomes what brings
them together.
Ward has always been one of my favorite writers, but it's really when I
read a new book of hers that I remember just how good of a writer she
is. I love the way she describes things. It's wholly her own and she also
does an excellent job of portraying emotion nicely. The conflict of this
story is very much the forefront, creating tension throughout the entire
story. I couldn't flip the pages quick enough and almost wished the
book was longer. Nevertheless, this makes me very excited about the
next full-length Black Dagger
Brotherhood novel.
PRISONER OF NIGHT exceeded my
expectations. There is no question about it: Ward is the queen of
paranormal romance.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author J.R.
Ward comes an unforgettable story of passion and vengeance
in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world.
When Ahmare’s brother is abducted, there is nothing she
won’t do to get him back safely. She is unprepared, however,
for the lengths she will have to go to save his life. Paired
with a dangerous but enticing prisoner, she embarks on an
odyssey into another world.
Duran, betrayed by his father, imprisoned in a dungeon for
decades, has survived only because of his thirst for
vengeance. He has been biding his time to escape and is
shocked to find an unlikely and temporary freedom in the
form of a determined young female.
Battling against deadly forces and facing unforeseen peril,
the pair are in a race to save Ahmare’s brother. As time
runs out, and the unthinkable looms, even true love may not
be enough to carry them through.
