Book Blurb:

J. R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood novels have introduced readers to a "different, creative, dark, violent, and flat-out amazing" (All About Romance)world. Now, as the vampire warriors defend their race against their slayers, one male's loyalty to the Brotherhood will be tested-and his dangerous mixed blood revealed...

Caldwell, New York, has long been the battleground for the vampires and their enemies, the Lessening Society. It's also where Rehvenge has staked out his turf as a drug lord and owner of a notorious night club that caters to the rich and heavily armed. His shadowy reputation is exactly why he's approached to kill Wrath, the Blind King and leader of the Brotherhood.

Rehvenge has always kept his distance from the Brotherhood-even though his sister is married to a member, for he harbors a deadly secret that could make him a huge liability in their war against the lessers. As plots within and outside of the Brotherhood threaten to reveal the truth about Rehvenge, he turns to the only source of light in his darkening world, Ehlena, a vampire untouched by the corruption that has its hold on him-and the only thing standing between him and eternal destruction.

Amee's Review:

This is the story of the half sympath half vampire, Rehvenge. Not only does Rehvenge have two sides to him, he sort of lives a double life. Sympaths are known as a very dangerous species because of their abilities to reach into others minds and do nasty things, because of that they are banned to their own colony where even a half breed is to live. Normally a Sympath can be recognized purely by physical appearance alone but Rehvenge being a half breed looks more Vampire then Sympath and has always been able to live among the Vampire race. This is not without a price though because there are some that know of his Sympath side and who blackmail him in order to keep them quiet. This mysterious blackmailer has forced Rehv into a life he probably would have never chosen for himself. Rehvenge runs Zero Sum, one of the most popular clubs in Caldwell. It isn't just a club, however, drugs and sex are sold there but in order to keep his secret on the down low he really has no choice because he needs the money. Rehvenge is also the half brother of Bella, the Black Dagger Brotherhoods Brother Zsadist's, Shellan. Bella also does not know that her brother is half Sympath. The Brotherhood, however, has known for a while what is in Rehv's blood. Rehv is faced with a decision where he must choose to fall into his Sympath desires or not. The decision he makes will lead him to the fate that he is destined for in his life.

Because Rehvenge is part Sympath he has found the only way he can control his "sympath side" is to take dopamine, this helps him to regulate himself and calm his urges. Not without side effects though, he must walk with a cane and he can not feel much of his body. Normally in order to get his dopamine he visits the Vampire race's physicia,n Havers, who gives him a prescription for it, only because Rehv manipulates his mind to do so. When Rehv goes to visit Havers for his next script he is delighted because the nurse Ehlena is there to help him out. He always loves when she is the one who winds up in is room because out of every nurse there he has a thing for her. He is not shy about trying to get her to notice him and whether she likes it or not she does just that. Ehlena is a civilian and works hard as a nurse to take care of her father who has fallen to mental illness. She lives in a small house that she can barely afford but they make do. Little does she know that when she meets Rehvenge her entire world is going to be turned upside down. Their chemistry is nothing but total lightning, will that be enough for her to see past what is in his blood? Better yet what does he think about being with someone as pure as Ehlena, does he deserve her? Their journey is an amazing one that J.R. Ward sucks you into.

As you get a closer look into the lives of Sympaths in Lover Avenged as with all BDB books you get a look into so much more. You get a peek into the Moores or Shadows as they are Rehvenge's closest allies and best friends. You also get to learn a lot more about Xhex and her role in this world of the BDB. Speaking of Xhex this brings me to my most favorite John Matthew. As always, his voice is in there. He is becoming a fighter and a grown male who is trying to figure out his own life. John, along side his closest friends, Qhuinn and Blay experience some key things in this book. Wrath, the King, and Beth, his shellan, also have a very prominent presence in Lover Avenged as Wrath is experiencing some changes of his own that will in fact affect his future.

Lover Avenged is an amazing book that will keep you reading from beginning to end. It is one of those books you just can not put down. The first time I read Lover Avenged I read it in two days and for me that is uber fast! This being my re-read I read it just as fast and it was just as good this time around if not better! Reading about what happens with Rehv will only draw you deeper into the BDB and will only leave you wanting more!
