John Matthew must draw on the wisdom of two lifetimes to find the delicate balance between allowing Xhex her independence and his obligation to protect her as his bonded mate, but will it be enough to keep Xhex from breaking his heart once her vengeance has been exacted? ReviewĪfter reading the latest novel in The Black Dagger Brotherhood series, I'm not sure that J. She also has an unquenchable thirst for revenge against her captor, and when it comes to her work, she's always been a loner. A part of her wants John Matthew, but she already lost one lover in the past and doesn't know if she can bear that again. His tireless search finally pays off, but after the couple is reunited, Xhex keeps herself at a distance. However, when Xhex is kidnapped, the fierce bonded male in him comes to the surface, prepared to do anything he must to get her back, even though he's not certain she still lives. John Matthew has loved Xhex from afar since the moment they met, and their relationship recently took a very complicated turn. Since it is not in her nature to give up, Xhex fights him tooth and nail, but after spending weeks in captivity being tortured, she is starting to become resigned to her imminent death. When Xhex went on a mission to rescue her best friend from the hands of the symphaths, she herself was abducted by Lash, son of the evil Omega and head of the Lessening Society who have been at war with the vampires for centuries. Over the years, she has become as hardened as any warrior, but even warriors can be broken. Xhex is a vampire/symphath hybrid who has spent most of her life working as an assassin.
