J. R. Ward Talks About Her Black Dagger Brotherhood Series

[MsFallenDawn]

She doesnt look like someone who would write the 'brotherhood' series and when you see her your like .....OHMYGOD! But her books are absolutely amazing! I love all the brothers! but Zsadist is my least favorite because he's kind of an ass to Phury about Bella. Then again, I dont like Bella Either. So, kind of at a loss with Zsadist.

[Natsu861]

i love zsadist

[foxybrown74]

if the movie or series is coming out BRING IT ILL B THERE WITH BELLS ON

[treehuggerhippy]

Is it being left at the 7 books and the guide or does anyone know if more are planned?

[femalelookin2luv]

@treehuggerhippy there's like 9 books

[oliveberry13]

I LOVE PHURY!!!!!!!!!!!!...to bad his book sucks balls...it wasn't as great as i thought it would be like there could have been moregoing on between the couple but yeah phurys fucking hot so it, for me, was like a book that u didn't want to continue but u kept reading anyway >.> haha but yeah great series all in all :) BLACK DAGGER BROTHERHOOD 4eva!!!!!!!!!!

[funnygurl22]

i have a question(s). is she blind? why is she wearing sunglasses inside? besides that totally have throughly DROOLED over that damn series of books. Got my girlfriend addicted too haha!

[hannah2640]

@funnygurl22 Lol I think it just a thing she has you know I don't think shes blind. Like I like to wear slippers when I drive at night and eat smarties with my coffee lol :P

[zut26]

My favorite brother has to be Rhage. He's such a smart ass lol I hope she writes one about Quinn and Blay and not as secondary characters either. I think her devoted audience such as ourselves would be open to read about a gay relationship. Am I right or wrong? I would love to hear the fans opinions.

[themreaper]

Oh god no Xhex and John are my totally favs <3 I LOVE THEM SO MUCH IT HURTS but this series is probably one of my favorites ever

[nesteph]

vampires vs zombies, how could it be better. us men are completely behind any book where the vampires don't sparkle.

[LilMissSissyLaLa]

Zsadist is my favorite Brother... always will be. Followed closely by V, of course..... Bella rocks as Z's shellan, but I never really warmed to Jane. Looking forward to March. Lover Unleashed, Baby!!!!! WOOT! lol

[ComputerOtaku]

I want a Zsadist...

[fayis4everlove]

im on the 1st book :P cant wait to read Rhage .. <3 oh i forgot to say.. i read it coz of QUINN AND BLAY..

[charlii52]

lover mine...lover mine...without a doubt...ditto on zhadist....but a close second to john matthew and xhex,,,,,fantastic

[marshmellow3000]

@charlii52 do u knw all the books that J.R wrote including the BrotherHoods book?

[ashleynderik]

yep...Lover awakened is probably my fav so far! I love Zsadist too!

[Caithia]

i love wrath and beth, zsadist and bella and vishous and jane *__*

[ToraCookieNyx]

i love rhage and mary :D and zsadist and bella =D i think this two couples are the best! ^-^

i wish she could make another book about rhage and mary relationship ehehe :D that would be awesome (:

[misstangie210]

RHAGE IS THE BEST LOL I LOVE HIM

[1905kami]

I LOVE ALL THE CHARACTERS

[yuppie231]

@1905kami I agree with you.

[nizhoni26]

i loved the way book 6 ended, it almost made me cry.

[maharette]

Hell yeah! I cant belive that her fav. brother is my fav too. I LOVE Z!!!!!!

[simiwinterbreeze1]

Zsadist and John are my faves!!! i feel so much for John! poor guys both of them

[musiccxlovee1]

i love all the brothers, but personally i feel rhage is the best. on the outside he has a tough exterior and a pretty face , but inside he just yearns to be loved

[sjackx00]

♥zadist♥

[renatabazilio]

I love Vishous!! love all the brothers! love JR. 

[Jasthia]

Oh, yes. I Love Zasdist too, but... Phury is ... awesome.

[heyitsjai]

and thank god for her. i dont think i could survive without these books!

[pam667]

Agreed. Lover Awakened is the best followed closely by Lover Unbound.

[85vigor]

there are 12 of them on the market in germany already- two more are supposed to come :) i have read 11 now- really really love those books!!

[pam667]

@85vigor Wait What ??? what are the name of the other books, I know Lover mine was just released 4/27/10 that would be book 8.

[85vigor]

@pam667 well, they seperate one book into two books when they translate it into german... it really sucks, cause always have to wait for the second one and its more expensive...

[Renae009]

I love JR ward!! love all the books! Preordered the next one yessss!

[skorpios]

how many are there??

i goth the 1st one by a mistake and I LOVED IT!!!

now im planing to get the rest of them..... but how many are there??

[Duckie5852]

There are 7 books in the BDB series with an 8th coming out in April

[skorpios]

what are thyr name??

and who is the protagonist?

[lilymari728]

@skorpios a similar thing happened to me, I bought Dark Lover because I was bored and it was the only book that caught my eye, but I really didn't think I would like it. I loved it so much that now I'm completely hooked...I'm so happy the next book comes out in a few days.

[serienlove21]

i love V he is the best than Zsadist and Rhage

<3

[aznstar5o8]

Love Rhage's the best!then Z's then V's..lol. Love them all!!

[Ashmazzy45]

I love Zsadist !!!!. Love Him

[specslady1inmil]

me too and im acting like a fricking drug addict over here feining for lover awakened. i just finished LE and I just adored zsadist and bella's parts...

[melanie04100]

@Ashmazzy45 Lover Awakened is my fave book <3

[ccj5390]

once i started reading the first book i knew i wasnt going to be able to stop from there.. and i was sooo happy to know that there was more to come... im just one of those readers that cant get enough and will finish reading the whole serious in less than two weeks because it is that addicting. I truly hope that J.R. Ward will not stop there and try to find a way to continue the black dagger brotherhood series.

[alesince1992]

Rhage and Mary are my fave. I love Lover Eternal my fave book bcus it's just so idk I can't describe it... But I love it...

[Kelzees123]

@alesince1992 omg i still need to go get the second book seems interesting! =D is it good?

[alesince1992]

@Kelzees123 Yes!!! the books keep getting better and better!!! the second book is my favorite from all because of Rhage aka Hollywood lol... i recommend to read the rest of the series!!!

[Kelzees123]

@alesince1992 okay thanks =D i think i may be obseesed with the books but thanks 

[alesince1992]

[123LUCYM]

YUP YUP YUP

[KellyHulsey]

im on the 2nd to last book and wishing she would turn the books into an HBO series... yuuuummm!!

[Cometua]

@KellyHulsey

Series or films, omG, this would be splendid :-))!

[lcsgrbilfan]

Wrath and Vishous for the win.

[viridianag0]

I Love Zsadist and Rhage best characters ever

[alt3etf]

Lover Avenged just arrived in the post today - I must say i'm a tad annoyed that the cover had changed :( the others were quite errotic. Zsadist is my favourite character along with Boo - cause everyone loves Boo xDD but John Matthew comes second!!!!! :)

[sharrocks]

oh god, i would love a real life Zsadist.

[hmngbrd]

I like the way she speaks about the characters like they're real. her readers feel that way too !

[maddywoo]

Black Dagger Brotherhood is my literary heroin. I just finished the third and the fourth book hasn't come in yet so I'm suffering from some major withdrawals now

[hunneybunney7]

i agree with her, i love Zsadist

[tongloc85]

PLEASE JR WARD MAKE THIS BOOKS INTO MOVIES. If Stephanie Mayer could do it YOU CAN TO....

[corneliayip]

i love Rhage and Mary

and Wrath and Beth

and also Zsadist and Bella

anyway , all her Brotherhood books are awesome !!

[corneliayip]

i love Rhage and Mary

and also Wrath and Beth

anyway, all of her books are awesome !!

[rlolypop26]

thank you!! GREAT BOOKS

[gwgresham1]

I can tell that J. R. Ward gets attached to her characters like I do when I am writing. She has favorites just like her readers do. I missed my characters so much when I finished, "Perfect Lies" that I'm writing a sequel. Keep them coming, J R, we love your writing.

[OceanScorpio83]

It's interesting to see the woman behind my favourite books!! The Black Dagger Brotherhood series are some of the best books I've ever read.

[ymnlove4e]

i love the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series, am deeply in love with all the brothers, i just wish there are even one man that is half any one of the brothers , my god they are my hersos, just like the author, Zsadist is my favorite,

[HimeHimiko]

Bella and Zsadist r the best. :)

And Beth and Wrath...Heck all of her books Series rocks!

All Hail J.R. Ward!

[SonyaNatalia]

I also think Cormia did an amazing job of developing as a character in such a short time - considering the life she came from. I find her much more interesting than stereotypical 'tough, smart, no nonsense, androgynous chick' Jane.

[SonyaNatalia]

By 'smart', I do not mean smarter than the others. I just mean that she is introduced as someone we are supposed to immediately assume is smart - even if she isn't.

[SonyaNatalia]

I love Marissa and Butch, and also Rhage and Mary.

I love that even though one in each of those couples is extremely beautiful, beauty plays only a small part in their relationships.

I hate how people always - in every supernatural series - overlook the men who are not vampires. I actually often think the 'real' men are sexier than the 'undead'!

I also love women like Marissa, who everyone underestimates, but who prove to be so strong and so important in the end.

[SonyaNatalia]

Why does she always wear those dark glasses?!

I can't believe how many schoolkids are replying about loving these books. How do teenagers even find out about erotic fiction?!

[CJMurray11]

My 1st book was accidently Lover Unbound at xmas time 08 and from then I was addicted and purchased every last 1. V is my fav cause he's my type of Vamp! Note to Hollywood. . . . . NOT A MOVIE!!! but would make and awesome TV series so the stories were told properly and def after watershed so we still get the raunchiness :) So looking forward to the 8th book. I love you JR Ward, keep 'em coming. Love Claire from Belfast, N.Ireland x x x x x

[chahnab3an]

i love all of them but rehvenge is definitely the sexiest. i can't wait for the next book.. i think it's going to be john's and i can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

[MissTypeONegative]

I agree, i pray that no one makes these amazing books into a half hearted attempt of a film. I can't decide who my favourite is! I LOVE V cause he's so funny and sexxxyyyyy but Zsadist is just. . .wow! Everyone seems to love him, i think it's because he's so vunerable. Anyone agree? I havent got the book yet, but looking forward to seeing what happens with john and xhex. :P

[azntomboy1994]

Z RULES!!!

[sonicbeans]

OMFG I LOVE THESE BOOKS! out of all the brothers my ultimate favorite of them is Thorment poor fuck looses his shellan and his child and disapiers for months only to be brought back to the brothers by Lassiter but hey Thor is my fave by a long shot. i have itchy fingers for book 7 wich i have ordered and waiting for it to drop through my letter box. from what i have heard John an Xhex have some prity erotic scences in it!

[katie3637]

I love Z!!

[Whipnspur2732]

JR Ward is the Best!!!!! luv the series!!! and i agree....they should never be made into movies!!!!!! i think that the "movie" we all play in our own minds while reading the books is the best way they can be acted out. everyone has their own opinions on every aspect of the books.....lets not ruin these amazing stories by bringing hollywood (that town in LA...not the hottie in the book!!!) into the picture..BTW..... V is the best!!!!!!

[ericajazz]

J.R. Ward is awesome!! Rhage is my favorite. I don't want the DDB to be made into movies. Hollywood would screw them up like they did with Twilight. How I picture the characters in my mind is just fine.

[SaddieVid]

I totally agree with you!

[Natsuwa]

and i agree with Jessi1345. you can't find perfect actors for the vampires. that won't be good... like Twilight. The movie is a shit, the book is very good. sorry dear 'Twilight-movie-fans', but this is my opinion. ^^

[Natsuwa]

I like all of the vampires but to tell the truth my fav characters are Rhage, Zsadist and Vishous. They are the best for me :P There is no day when i don't read books from the Brotherhood.

J. R. Ward is my favourite writer! She is the best! Black Dagger Brotherhood forever!!!!!!!!!! (L)

[Jessi1345]

i don't want a movie

i think i would hate the actors because the characters are too perfect

[PrincessofEuphoria12]

Vishous and Z all day!

[grentain1]

I like Rhage and Z

[loopywoman90]

i LOVE the books they should so make a movie series i would go and see it so many times and i would buy them all i love these books WAY more than twilight

[battleready4whatever]

yesssssss! i so fucking agree! they need to make a movie about the bdb! i would be so happy if they do!

[kat7980]

I love these books ,pls make a movie. Rhage and Mary are my favorite couple then Vishous and Jane.

[Zombiestripper333]

those are my two fav couples too, especially the brothers :D

yummy

[munkycmunk]

dude, can I just say that they NEED to make a series of movies. I don't care how, but they need to make them! haha. And none of that stupid cheesy porno crap either.

[Homiee93]

Butch is the best! :D

[tvshowsfreak]

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy zsadist is my faverite too i lovvvvvvvvvvvve him love love love love love zsadist so bad i read his book almost everyday

[Ohri20]

The Books are so great!!!!!!! *scream out loud*

I just can´t decide who´s is my favourite ... *lol*

[jonnet1]

I have read all six books in six days, I just can't get enough of them, I love re-reading them, I also love the Guide, I can't wait to read more about what is going on, but I must admit that I don't think that you could make a movie b/c the book had so much for some people, But I would love to see it with my eyes...Just love the bothers and shellens!

[CryinqPrincesz]

I love this books. My absolutly favorite's are Vishous and Rhage. I'm going to buy the book about Vishous *rrrr*

[KristynUrias]

they are my faves too lol.. idk why vishous is but he just so totally.

[KristynUrias]

I wish she would some how write another book continuing to each book one that continues the first one another onw that continues the 2nd one and so on and i sooo want to read about john... though i haven't read the last 2ill move in for the kill on v tomorrow... so who knows i want to know a lot more about john.

[ParanormalRomance175]

hey i think it's r lucky day!!!!

cause did u know that J.R Ward plans on writing like ten books of the black dagger brotherhood???

if u don't the heres a sneak peek....

the seventh book is Rehvenge's story then she'll prob write about John, Quinn, Blaylock!!!

if she does then get to the end of that like ten books then i hope she writes about Thor, Thorment) because he's one of my fav brothers.

[KristynUrias]

omg lol i screamed when u told me that... YES!!! I love those books. YEEEESSSS

[HappyThreeFriends88]

I love the Books... <3

I read the first boolk in one day. . . =) The other in three four reallly fast I mean =)

I really would love a movie! <3

[luvdj]

it would be so totally hot if they turn the books into a movie...aagh i would be so in love..please think it over and try to make it into a movie....?!

[paingoret6]

No way! They would ruin them! No actors are good enough to play any of the brothers! Especially Wrath or Z.

[luvdj]

i know true but still it would be cool if they actually do though xD

[nikkio3000]

coool! fav is rhage and viscious :-)

[Zombiestripper333]

OOOO ya mine too

=D

<3

[tillytowler]

I love these books and am desperate for the next book !! I couldn't choose a fave but if i wanted one brother for myself it would be Wrath......yummy

[DittoandMe]

i love rhages book! ^O^ dude the newest books are comming out!!! XD dude i cant wait

[inzie23]

I love Z's story! I agree with her that he's the best..

[xxshellsterxx]

I absolutely love this series....she should really make it into a movie.

[f91843]

i just love hollywoods story, and wraths, and v's!1 theyre my fav out of the series. although i really like quinn. my lil crush^.^

[Angelcrescent]

The next book is Rehv's book Lover Avenged due in May 2009. Check out J R wards website and then the message boards for information. John's book is possibly after

[sonicbeans]

the next book should be John Matthews as he is the last of the brothers, but it should have Blaylock and Quinns story entwined into the book aswell because Quinn has been given the task of looking after John and Blaylock is BI. lover enshrined never finnished there storys. i did email JRWard and she has said there is to be a 7th book god willing.

[SilenceWillBeBroken]

I'm looking forward to reading the new book. Does anyone know when will it out or whose book it will be?

[1392redhead]

I love the series!!!!

[Mainacoal]

Z is the best! XD I like the other brothers too even though I still think V has issues. >.>' Well I still can't wait for more! Ward's an awsome writer and I love how she can get into so many different characters' heads. I really want to see what happens with Rehvenge and John. Oh, and Xhex is a dude.

[perkychica]

Hmmmm....imo, the first three were the absolute best. Butch's story was okay, but the series is steadily declining after the fifth.  I just finished "Lover Enshrined" and I'm not at all interested in continuing the series. She should have stuck with the same formula she had from the start.

[missfar]

noe wat.... ive lost my faith in this series i cant believe she ruined my fav brotherphury's book like dat:'( why why why...???? this book wasnt phury's book at all other then her finishing z's, and da newbies....:'(

[MCoshal]

Oh, I LOVED John! And the fact that she expanded the story of Qhuinn and Blay, I thought it was amazing!

Hollywood and Mary was prob my fav... And Vishous and Jane. Except I still am a little confused as to how Jane is still around. :-D

[blackdagger5]

I LOVE jr ward!! I think she is a very talented writer. The Black Dagger Brotherhood is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! these are what fantasies are made of!!!!!!! I love all the brothers, but Rhage,Z V and Torh are my males!!!!!!!!!!! Keep on JR what you're doing>>JR WARD is my favorite author!!!

[taco453]

Ah, Zsadist is my favorite, too!
