Lover Revealed by J.R. Ward

Title: Lover Revealed (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #4)
Author: J.R. Ward
Release Date: March 6th 2007 by Onyx
Edition: Mass Market Paperback, 455 pages

Synopsis:

Butch O'Neal is a fighter by nature. A hard-living ex-homicide cop, he's the only human ever to be allowed in the inner circle of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. And he wants to go even deeper into the vampire world-to engage in the turf war with the lessers. His heart belongs to a female vampire, Marissa, an aristocratic beauty who's way out of his league. And if he can't have her, then at least he can fight side by side with the Brothers.

But fate curses him with the very thing he wants. When Butch sacrifices himself to save a civilian vampire from the slayers, he falls prey to the darkest force in the war. Left for dead, he's found by a miracle, and the Brotherhood calls on Marissa to bring him back, though even her love may not be enough to save him.

My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed Butch and Marissa's story. It was different then the other books! So many different elements went on in this book and so many different events. Each book brings something new to the table and you learn more about each of the characters. You learn more about Vishous, considering his story is the next book. And you also see more of John Matthews in this book! We also are introduced to Xhex! Since I have already read this series, I can't wait until I reread the rest of the books.

I have liked Butch since the very first BDB story, Dark Lover! He is sarcastic, touch, and brave. He's been through a lot in his life, but he fit right in the the BDB men. I really appreciated that you learn more of Butch's background in this book. You get to know more about where he came from and why he acts the way he acts. It suck what happened to his sister Janie, but I think his real "human" family treats him horrible and he doesn't deserve it.

Marissa was sweet and the complete opposite of Butch. But as they say, opposites attract. I liked Marissa. And Havers was an asshole! And sometimes Marissa's innocence got on my nerves. Lol I know she's a sweet girl and all, but she knew absolutely nothing about anything romantic or sexual. But I did like her character development as the book progress. She learned to speak up for herself and take a stand and I liked that. Butch and Marissa's romance was nice. He made her feel special.

The action in this book was on point! More than enough and I loved every single moment of it! And I really liked the ending :) I thought it was a sweet tough and you finally get to know what Butch's dad was! Ha, I knew it!

Overall, amazing addition to the BDB series. And I highly recommend this series to everyone as long as you can handle adult scenes.

Synopsis:

Kate Winters has won immortality.

But if she wants a life in the Underworld with Henry, she’ll have to fight for it.

Becoming immortal wasn’t supposed to be the easy part. Though Kate is about to be crowned Queen of the Underworld, she’s as isolated as ever. And despite her growing love for Henry, ruler of the Underworld, he’s becoming ever more distant and secretive. Then, in the midst of Kate’s coronation, Henry is abducted by the only being powerful enough to kill him: the King of the Titans.

As the other gods prepare for a war that could end them all, it is up to Kate to save Henry from the depths of Tartarus. But in order to navigate the endless caverns of the Underworld, Kate must enlist the help of the one person who is the greatest threat to her future.

Henry’s first wife, Persephone.

My Thoughts: 
Okay, I'm not going to give a summary because it's kind of a spoiler to the first book.
But I rate this book 3.5 Stars. I really loved the first book and gave it 5 Stars. So I was kind of disappointed with this one. I liked the book, but there was somethings about the book that I didn't like. I liked where the plot went, but somethings weren't what I wanted.

The Pro's
-Henry was still Henry and I really liked that about him! He had some set backs, but he redeemed himself in my eyes :D I really like Henry! He is sweet, but he can be so self-conscious. I don't know if that's the word I'm racking my brain for, but I kind of like when he second guesses himself. And I love how he wants to protect Kate.
-Ava and James and the shocking revolution! I was laughing so hard when that came out in the open. I was not expecting that at all! And then Persephone, OMG it was just too much. Then Kate's, reaction...Priceless :D
-I also, liked Kate's developing powers! I love anything supernatural/paranormal.
-Ingrid. She was a surprising character and I loved when she appeared in the book and gave her insight.
-Calliope, she still an awful character, but she plays the villian well.
-The book had tons of action, that kept that part of me satisfied. I love some good drama and action packed fights.

The Con's
-I still like Kate, but boy was she emotional in this book! I swear she cried like 5 times a chapter! Whew, that's a lot. But, I still liked her and she was still brave and she still has a kind heart which I love about her most.
-There wasn't a ton of Henry in this book, which was quite disappointing. Considering Henry is my favorite character, I was a little upset that he wasn't in the book much.
-Didn't really care for Persephone too much.
-Cronus.

The Ending!
3 words -- What. The. Hell. Seriously!!! How the ____ could you end a book like that! I am so hurt! And Ava, what? No words can describe how I am feeling right now. I am so pissed! Kate, oh Kate, this sucks royally! How could you Ava?! You just broke my heart. Seriously just broke my heart. I think that was the most awfullest (<< don't even know if that's a word) cliffhanger that I have every read and that has ever torn my heart out! So not happy Mrs. Aimee Carter! So not happy!

But needless to say, lol, I can't wait for The Goddess Inheritance! I feel like punching a wall having to wait to find out what happens next. If you liked The Goddess Test, you must read this book to find out why I'm so hurt, so we can vent together! And if you haven't read this series, you definitely need to go pick up the first book!
