1: Best so far
This was the book I couldn't wait for once I started the series, since I thought Butch and Marissa's interludes were the hottest thing in the first book, even though they only had a few pages in Dark Lover and the two of them never even got close to having actual sex. Butch is the most interesting of the male leads to date, being a human with human vulnerabilities, and a desperate need for acceptance and purpose in his life, a tough outsider who brings in an outsider's slice-of-life perspective. The banter between him and the brothers crackles with offhand humor and the story of his progressive integration into the Brotherhood shines a fresh light on the society.
The openly homoerotic overtones of Butch's relationship with Vishous are an interesting departure from the previous novels and from traditional romantic fiction in general.
Rhevenge develops into a fascinating character in his own right, so his book will be one to watch out for. Meanwhile, one is almost tempted to pity the Omega, who is clearly attracting a very unreliable class of Lesser in recent books.
Having rooted for Butch as the token human in the Brotherhood's circle, I do find it somewhat questionable that in this series (and in paranormal novels in general) being "merely" human is consistently depicted as an inferior state of existence. Does a hero have to be literally superhuman these days to captivate the reader?
Another caveat is that the female characters in the BDB series generally seem to lack the depth and strength of their male counterparts, which is a bit of a shame - but then, some of those heroines are only human, after all.

2: series is great - book 4 a bump in the road
I love the Black Dagger Brotherhood books. Yes, there may be some repetitions since the book is about one small group of warriors. But it doesn't bother me much. When I read this book I found myself turning the pages to read about V. I can't wait to read his story. Butch is cool, but Marissa was getting on my nerves. She has everything going for her and yet, it takes her the whole book to finally grow a spine.In this book I found that I actually needed to read about the villains, as there were some major tidbits on the brothers.
All in I'd say the book is a good read to stay in the flow of things (especially with John)but it is not my favorite.

3: Best so far......
I have read each of the Black Dagger books through Lover Revealed and I have got to say that this series is the best I have ever read! I read this particular book in one day. I absolutely couldn't put it down. I am growing so attached to these Brothers....I don't want to finish the last one!
