Helpful Score: 1

Ward has a very popular series called the Black Dagger Brotherhood, and I will get around to reading it one of these days, that has come highly recommended on many fronts. I did read a short story of hers in an anthology once and enjoyed her style. This full-length novel just cemented me as one of her loyal fans. From what I understand, Covet is a spin off of the BDB series, but I didn't feel left out of the loop by starting with this one.

Ward beautifully wove two story lines here. The first is about Jim and his destiny to save humanity during the final battle between good (angels) and bad (demons). The second story line is the romance played out in this book by Vin and Marie-Terese. The plot moved along wonderfully with a smooth and fast pace. The world was rich. The characters are real with flaws. Ward includes enough back story to let the reader in on the goals, motivations, and conflicts within each character.

I'll just leave it with...I loved the book and am looking forward to the next one in the series!
