This book not only answered many questions, but also brought closure to several outstanding situations. Murhder and the question of what truly happened to him and Xhex all those years ago finally gets answered. Over the years he's been mentioned, but this was one loose end I felt was time to be tied up. I thing Ward handled his story beautifully. This is the first book in this long running series that really felt like some of the first books written. To me it focused mainly on one new couple, with John and Xhex being secondary. John's medical condition tied in well with the scientist that becomes Murh's love interest.
This book also introduced a new character in Nate, the young vampire ultimately rescued from the illegal lab. This resuce brings Murhder and Xhex closure, and allows them more healing. The biggest unanswered question is why did Throe's book girlfriend metaphorically throw him under the bus? Will she present a new threat to the BDB, only time will tell.
Lastly, this book had the feel of finally getting all the answers. Tying up loose ends and maybe bringing a certain chapter in the series to a close. If that's truly the case where does the series go from here. Honestly the possibilities are endless. I personally would like the read some other stories set in the BDB vampire world, but not directly involving the BDB. The previous book Prisoner of the Night got some bad reviews and the main complaint was "the Brothers" weren't involved in it. My argument is this, Wrath and the brotherhood are the protectors of the race, but there's an entire vampire world according to the series that would be great hearing about. Can't wait to see where Ward takes us next in this great series!

I Stayed Up All Night With the Brotherhood
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2019
J.R. Ward has teased us with this character for several books now. We've seen glimpses of the former Black Dagger Brotherhood member Murhder and been told that he was kicked out of the Brotherhood. We see the "ghost" of a man in Lover Mine and there's a few random references sprinkled by Ward in other books. Ward has crafted a great vampire story in the BDB series and this latest one is a great addition to that series. Murhder is back, looking for the son of a woman he failed years ago, fighting the reputation that drove him out of the Brotherhood, and he finds much more than just a bio lab with questionable practices. That more is in the form of one of the researchers at the lab, Dr. Sarah Watkins. But could Murhder find the boy and deal with the past with the Brotherhood?Oh yeah, it's a great addition to the BDB series. I've been curious, like all the other readers of this series, about Murhder and what his backstory was. We knew he had been with Xhex, who is now mated to John Matthew. But the details of everything didn't become clear until this book.I don't stay up reading all night for just any author, I can read, then sleep, and pick up the story the next day or so. With the BDB, I'm up all night, finishing as the sun comes up. And this one did the same thing, I started reading at about 1:30 and finally put the book down after 7 a.m. And the lack of sleep is WELL worth it.We now know Murhder and the whole story. So if you're into BDB this is another gem. If you're not but this has intrigued you, go ahead and buy this one but go back and read the whole series from Dark Lover to The Savior in order so you can become another big fan of the Brotherhood.
