Blood Fury by J.R. Ward
4.0
This was another beautifully executed story by J.R. Ward. She brought out a hundred and fifty emotions in me during this book. Those are the best kind for me.
I don't even know where to begin because there was so much going on in this book.
I guess I'll start with Novo and Peyton. Both are in the Black Dagger Brotherhood training program. Novo is from a medium income family and Peyton is filthy rich. Both are totally promiscuous and emotionally detached or stunted. Novo is driven while Peyton is more of a quitter or maybe he just gets bored with things.
In a previous book, Novo seemed attracted to Peyton but he seemed to only have eyes for Paradise, another trainee who is already mated to one of the other trainees. Paradise is oblivious to it but everyone else sees it. Peyton propositioned Novo but she didn't feel like being a substitute for Paradise so she turned him down.
In this book, Peyton starts to realize he's attracted to Novo but they both have a really bad way of relating to each other. I got so frustrated with them that I just wanted to knock their hard heads together to wake them up.
Then there's Ruhn and Saxton. Saxton has been around in the series for a while but I never knew quite how I felt about him. He was just always so formal and polite which seemed a little stuffy and off-putting to me but he has always been loyal to the King and Brotherhood. Ruhn is a new character who was introduced in Blood Vow. He's quiet and polite but you just know he has some kind of past he's not proud of so it peaked my interest.
I was more interested in Ruhn and Saxton’s romance than Novo and Peyton's because of the way things developed and the way they handled Ruhn's past. They just seemed so much more mature than Novo and Peyton who caused most of their own problems by the way they behaved or misbehaved.
I think this series might be winding down but there are still stories to be told and questions to be answered like, What the hell is going to happen with Assail? Everyone hears him screaming non-stop somewhere in the medical clinic. What is going on with the Omega? Does Boone get a love story? And then I have a brain hiccup. I remember something happening to Throw but was never really sure what exactly happened. Can anyone explain that to me?
Anyway, I thoroughly lost myself in this book. I don't know how I'm going to wait another year for the next book.
