Black Dagger Brotherhood Book 21: Lassiter by J.R. Ward

Black Dagger Brotherhood Book 21

Destiny, duty and desire clash in this epic new novel in J. R. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series…

Lassiter, the fallen angel, is too good at the savior business. In his new role overseeing the fates of all vampires, he’s influenced outcomes he shouldn’t have- so the Creator is calling him home. But the angel has a reason to stay in Caldwell. He’s bonded with a mysterious female who’s seemed to appear from out of nowhere… and has powers that defy all reason.

Rahvyn is well aware that she doesn’t belong in the present. And she never intended to stay, for her true place is in the past. Lassiter proves to be undeniable, however, and she lets herself fall for the angel- until a secret he’s been keeping comes out and she fears that for him, it’s not about love, but duty.

As the Omega’s son reestablishes the Lessening Society, and the Brotherhood must resume the deadly war- an unfathomable tragedy occurs. In the aftermath, Rahvyn has to decide whether to stay and help- or save herself from an immortal heartbreak she knows will crush her very soul…

My Review: 5/5 Stars

A real rollercoaster this book was. I'm not even sure my shock over the ending is over, but this was a wild ride. Also lots of confusing feelings about how to actually feel with that ending. Lot of crazy in this book, so prepare for that wild ride. So Lassiter finally gets his story! Been waiting a long time for that to happen and it has finally arrived. When we catch up with Lassiter, he isn't as his best. Last book, we all know he made a huge sacrifice and it was one that isn't exactly easy to shake off. But he knows he needs to pull himself together. He may have lost a chance to be with his true love, but those he calls family will need him. But all isn't lost. Rahvyn returns and knows she can't fight the pull she has to Lassiter. She may be worried about how he will react to her past but she has to face him. They'll have a bit to sort out when it comes to finding their way back to one another. And if that wasn't enough we have a lot more going in the story. Eddie and Adrian have finally made an appearance!! And for those who read the Fallen Angels series, you know who they are. Then we have this Lash and Devina catastrophe happening. Lash is back and that means the war with the Omega and lessers will start again. So many elements mixing together. And when everything comes together... yeah, you won't be ready. Also lots of "oh no" moments in the book, but of course those are only teasing moments for the end that wants to break you. Seriously, that ending was wild. And I'm still trying to process certain portions of it and what it means for future books. I have lots of questions. And I don't think I'll truly know how I feel until I get those answers. If you've stuck around this long for this series, you're gonna wanna read this no matter what. This world is truly something and I'm amazingly still looking forward to where it goes.
