Prisoner of Night by J.R. Ward

ABOUT THE BOOK

From #1 New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward comes an unforgettable story of passion and vengeance in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world.

When Ahmare’s brother is abducted, there is nothing she won’t do to get him back safely. She is unprepared, however, for the lengths she will have to go to save his life. Paired with a dangerous but enticing prisoner, she embarks on an odyssey into another world.

Duran, betrayed by his father, imprisoned in a dungeon for decades, has survived only because of his thirst for vengeance. He has been biding his time to escape and is shocked to find an unlikely and temporary freedom in the form of a determined young female.

Battling against deadly forces and facing unforeseen peril, the pair are in a race to save Ahmare’s brother. As time runs out, and the unthinkable looms, even true love may not be enough to carry them through.

REVIEW

I am not typically a fan of novellas (although I seem to be reading a lot lately). I do however love J.R. Ward. The Black Dagger Brotherhood world is one of the few vampire book series I can engross myself in. Her voice is unique. The narrative is haunting, beautiful, and dark but often hilarious, hopeful and romantic. This story is just an off-shoot, so none of the Brotherhood makes an appearance, but I was perfectly fine with that. Even though both Ahmare and Duran are largely anti-heroes, I rooted for them in every way. Their reasoning was sound and their connection believable, I could have easily spent an entire novel with them.
