A review by lisa_me
The Beast by J.R. Ward
4.0
THE BEAST takes us back to the world of the Brothers, and updates us on what's going on with Mary and Rhage. They love each other but there is something missing from their relationship. They have to come to terms with that in this book, and they do in a life-altering way.
There are crises in the story, most notably involving Rhage and Layla. Assail features prominently, and Xcor and Throe are problems, but in different ways. A new character is introduced. Lassiter reveals a surprising side of himself. V and Jane might foreshadow their own story.
With all that good stuff going on, why did I only give it 4*s? Well, at times I really didn't care about what was going on with Rhage and Mary, even though Rhage's actions were pretty funny. And, as usual, Ward overwrote, which slowed down the story.
Otherwise, I recommend the book. If you're a BDB fan you can't miss this one. Too much happens to change the dynamics of the Brotherhood and beyond.
