The Sinner: The Black Dagger Brotherhood Series, Book 18

The Sinner was amazingly epic! All the characters. The fight. The passion. The Brothers. The love. It was incredible! Another outstanding story in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world.I was immediately immersed in the story, learning everything about Jo and Syn, what was going on with Butch, the fight with the Omega, and the new evil that was previously outed. I loved all the details, depth, and amazing build. This story reminded me of the first books in this series with all the different layers, exceptional character development, and the camaraderie between the Brothers and the humor that's added. It was so well thought out and well done.I was thrilled for Jo’s story. I loved the connections to her that were mentioned in previous books, I was excited to see those brought to the forefront. She was such a strong heroine and I loved her fight for the truth and to understand what was going on with herself. Syn has been this hard-core mystery so I loved getting into his past and learning why he is the way he is. It's intense yet sweet, passionate, and drama-filled. He's got some issues he's dealing with, to say the least, but I loved his growth over the course of the story and his redemption. I was so excited while reading and learning everything, seeing the dots connect and getting them confirmed about Jo, it was like stars aligning.I loved the drama, action, and emotion. Everything was phenomenal. The new evil that's in play is an OMG kind of thing, learning everything about that was awesome. I loved those details and how it all came together, it was fantastic! I adored all the Brothers and their bonds. There are a lot of really great, stand out moments in this. Lassiter was marvelous, and I really loved seeing more of Butch and V’s relationship.This was just brilliant. From start to finish I was hooked. I had a million questions and wanted to know everything. I pretty much inhaled it! I thought it was action-packed, on-the-edge-of-my-seat intense! This was a pivotal book in the series that is not to be missed. Loved it all! Thank you, J. R. Ward, for bringing this world to life and making me feel like I'm a part of it.

One of the best books in this series… and I LOVE the series. 🩷 This story was amazing, and the ending is priceless… happy reading!

The Sinner is definitely one of my favorites out of the series. It was really good and I am looking forward to the next book in this series

It has been a few years since I read the last book in the series, but I had no trouble slipping back into the author's writing, world, or the current situation in the series. I liked that there seemed to be fewer main and minor plot threads floating around though it did have a crew of narrators.The Sinner picks up the story of one of the Band of Bastards, Syn, who has a nasty little habit of enjoying killing so he has taken a side gig beyond his duties with the others in the war against the Omega and the Lessers. Syn's wet work brings him into contact with intrepid newspaper journalist and freelance Vampires-are-real style of website researcher. Something happens when he is sent to take out the inquisitive Jo in a mob hit- he protects her instead and slowly he gets a look inside his own black heart and doesn't like what he sees. He doesn't deserve her and she has no idea she is a half-breed on the cusp of transition, but he wants her- oh how he wants her.Jo has gaps in her memory, but this worrisome thought doesn't stop her. She does investigative reporting so that she knows the crime element want her taken out and she feels she is getting closer to proving there is a paranormal element in Caldwell. Meanwhile, she's into Syn knowing he's something of a bad boy and his job doesn't involve white collars or offices. She is also busy about finding out her own story since she knows she was adopted and she has no real connection to her adopted parents and hopes to find something akin to family with her blood family.Dervana, the demoness, has realized that the Father isn't planning to recall her to her demon realm and she knows why. She's hung up on a certain angel, (Imagine my shock to realize she's the villain from the Fallen Angels series which I've slowly been reading) Jim Herron whom she can't have. Caldwell looks like a good place for her gruesome brand of play, right?Meanwhile, Butch the Dhestroyer draws ever closer to his destiny of facing off with the Omega and ending him and his Lessers. Butch and V, a strong bromance, along with the rest of the Brotherhood are ready for whatever it takes.The Sinner grabbed me in the opening pages and there were moments here and there before I was riveted to the last quarter. I liked Jo and was fine with Syn, but they weren't a pair that I was dying to get their story. I did like seeing how Jo fit into the vampire world and who she turned out to be related to. I was curious about the rise of Dervana and Butch's part in the book. Bits and pieces that were big for the series. So, it was good- really good, but not great. Still, you know I'm going to keep reading the Brothers, and oh yeah, get caught up on those Fallen Angels books so I can see how the crossover happened.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5I remember meeting Josephine Early in another Black Dagger Brotherhood book. I am excited to finally know her story and her connection to the Vampire world. Her reluctance to stand down in the face of the unknown makes her one of the most fearless heroines in this power-packed world.Syn is also a male who was introduced in earlier books. He has always been firece and more than a bit scary. Finding out what fuels his rage os quite eye-opening. I absolutely loved watching the transformative power of love evoke changes in him.JR Ward has set this beautifully fierce love story against the background of the end days of the war between the Brotherhood and the Omega. Each detail lends itself to the story and culminates is a satisfying ending. I am addicted to the bonds these characters in this world form and the family they have created. I eagerly await the next book this epic series.

This author rocks...once I started reading her books I haven't stopped....on to the next one, I can't wait!This book kept me VERY interested...I love it 😀 😍

Quando precisei falar com o vendedor, foi tudo rapido e fácil. Ele resolveu o problema numa boa e tranquilo. E o prpduto chegou no praso (antes até) tudo certinho.

I had six months one in hospital which started me on this journey. It never failed to keep me company. I am grateful to the writer for the time and effort that must have gone into making this a family.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I love it with my whole heart. I've been reading them since day one and I won't ever give one of those books less than 5 stars. Will never not read a new release.

JR ward never disappoints.. the world of the vampires is woven so beautifully into an engrossing story line with central characters that are strong , independent and go getters .. an exciting read.. JR ward has had me hooked to the Black Dagger brotherhood for years..
