Etched into the harsh planes of their faces was total reverence. They seemed to be waiting for some kind of response from her. The great whoomp of sound as steel met wood seemed both a pledge and a battle cry.
In a single movement, as if they’d been choreographed, they buried the daggers into the floor at her feet and bowed their heads. She slammed into a wall and was about to scream for Wrath when the men dropped down on bended knees in a circle around her. She backed up frantically, hands in front of herself. With a metallic whoosh, five black daggers were unsheathed.
She looked to the faces of the two she knew, but their grave expressions weren’t encouraging. My very favorite quotes transport me back to the original Brotherhood days where the boys were experiencing growing pains and finding their footing as they fell in love and moved into the mansion. Of course, quite a few BDB quotes are funny and sexy, per Ward’s irreverent writing style there are plenty of sweet and swoon-worthy moments in the series as well, though. However, if you don’t have time to reread the series each year, or you don’t want to spend the inordinate amount of time it takes to undertake such a task, simply recalling some favorite moments is the perfect way to relive the entire series to date. It’s always a serious time commitment but always worth it in the end. It’s therefore no surprise that this time each year, in anticipation of the next release of the series in April, I reread a few of the 400+ page books. As a result, there are online communities entirely dedicated to the BDB world, its eccentricities and its inconsistencies.
I can still recall how I binged on the series right after my daughter was born, cruising through the books in the middle of the night, my desire to catch some sleep warring with the desire to continue reading about Wrath, Beth, and the entire BDB crew.Īlthough the series has ventured away from romance at times (I’m looking at you The Shadows ), the vast majority of paranormal romance fans have delved, or have at least tried to delve, into the deep, deep world of Ward’s vampires. So later, years after I had heard first heard of BDB’s greatness, it wasn’t a shock when I fell horribly, madly in love with Ward’s world. The sentiment stuck in my head and played on repeat for quite some time. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood (BDB) series is the measure by which all other paranormal romances books should be evaluated.
