Lover Mine by J.R. Ward
My rating: 5 of 5 stars.
John Matthew has come a long way since he was found living among humans, his vampire nature unknown to himself and to those around him. After he was taken in by the Brotherhood, no one could guess what his true history was- or his true identity. Indeed, the fallen Brother Darius has returned, but with a different face and a very different destiny. As a vicious personal vendetta takes John into the heart of the war, he will need to call up on both who he is now and who he once was in order to face off against evil incarnate.
BLURB: Lover Mine
Xhex, a symphath assassin, has long steeled herself against the attraction between her and John Matthew. Having already lost one lover to madness, she will not allow the male of worth to fall prey to the darkness of her twisted life. When fate intervenes, however, the two discover that love, like destiny, is inevitable between soul mates.
What a ride, so much happened in this book.
John Matthew has been a favorite since the beginning. He was just a street rat that needed a home. It turned out he was a pre-transition Vampire and he had been brutally assaulted because he was so small and skinny so you just had to feel for the kid.
Then as he found a home with Tohrment and Wellsie and found out that the queen was his Sister, and Tohr’s murdered friend Darius was his father, it was starting to getting nicer for John. He still wanted to be bigger, and had nightmares, but he felt like he had a place.
Since Wellsie Died and Tohrment went away, he has been so sullen and depressed. Even after Transitioning and becoming a huge muscular Vampire, he still had issue after issue. Now John Matthew is in love with Xhex and determined to save her.
Lash, my favorite villain falls in Love with Xhex as well. He kidnaps her and hides her away with his Omega magic. It seems the more time that passes the more like the Omega Lash becomes which is a frightening thing. I wonder where that will go in future books.
Now that Tohrment has returned he is finally waking up from his grief at losing Wellsie and figuring out that he was supposed to be a father to John, but he ran away instead and John went through a lot by himself. So Tohrment starts to make up for lost time and repair the relationship.
