I just finished The Chosen. I enjoyed it, but again she leaves way too many story lines hanging. Now I am tackling Blood Vow. You certainly need to read The Beast before you read this one or it would take a bit to catch up with the Rhage and Mary story line.

I love this series! I'm so glad I found a thread about it on here

So, I've read Ward's last three releases-

They were all okay- not as good as some of the previous ones. The Thief has some cute moments in it and a surprise about the Scribe Virgin.

I finished The Thief last night. Is it just me or does she appear to be getting ready to wrap things up?

She's announced her next book was going to be about Murdher. I haven't started the Thief yet. I'm doing a re-read of the whole series. Lover Reborn took me forever to finish. That one is not my favorite. Now on Lover at Last.

I finished as well last night. I agree with Becca (as usual) on wrapping the series up. The last few books have had A LOT of different story lines going. This one seemed to have fewer loose ends.

Dang it, I need to get caught up...especially if she's finally going to write a story about Murhder!

I need to get caught up too. Shadows was my last one. I'll have to go download the newer ones. If the series is going to end I'd like to finish it.

I think I'm 2 behind.

Do the Legacy books come into play as well?

Sort of. You can get by in the story without them, but some of the characters and side-plots make more sense if you've read both series and the novellas.

I've not read any of the novellas, maybe that's what I could pick up next.

You really need to read the novella with Saxton & Rhun's story.

Is that one between The Chosen and The Thief? I need to get busy...

It's in there somewhere. I forget exactly.

We need a spreadsheet.

The one with Saxton and Rhun is the newest Legacy book Blood Fury that is really Payton's story. I think it was released in January 2018.

this should be close. Dearest Ivie? That rings zero bells.

Ah...that was in the wrong list...Dearest Ivie is also a Novela.

Dottie is right. I'm getting the Saxton/Rhun story mixed up with the Dearest Ivie novella.

If someone were to have a spreadsheet...ahem...it may or may not be woefully behind...

Mine is YEARS behind.

that's okay...that's why I posted the info above

Looks like JR Ward has a new book out that is related to the Black Dagger Brotherhood. I think the review I read said they are mentioned in the book. It's called Prisoner of the Night.

Has anyone read it yet?

Anyone plan to read it?

I just got it on my Kindle, but finishing something else first. We'll see soon.
