Rhage and Mary return in a new novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, a series “so popular, I don’t think there’s a reader today who hasn’t at least heard of [it].”*
�
Nothing is as it used to be for the Black Dagger Brotherhood. The slayers of the Lessening Society are stronger than ever, preying on human weakness to acquire more money, more weapons, more power. But as the Brotherhood readies for an all-out attack on them, one of their own fights a battle within himself…
�
For Rhage—the Brother with the biggest appetites, but also the biggest heart—life was supposed to be perfect. Or at the very least, perfectly enjoyable. But he can’t understand or control the panic and insecurity that plague him. Terrified, he must reassess his priorities after suffering a mortal injury. And the answer, when it comes to him, rocks his—and his beloved Mary’s—world...

2.5 - 2.75 stars. I'm clearly in the minority with this one
By L
SPOILERS INCLUDED
I rarely write reviews though I'm an avid reader. I've been with the BDB since the beginning and have enjoyed many re-reads. The reason for the rating for this book is due to the secondary stories. They were far more interesting. As much as I enjoy the BDB series, I do not enjoy, what I call, repeat books. I don't like waiting a year for a book about a couple that already has a book. This story could have EASILY been a secondary story, for example to Lassiter's book.
THE BEAST
So, aside from being annoyed that rhage and mary got ANOTHER book, the story seemed forced to me. Rhage is suffering from these bizarre panic attacks that ultimately have created distance between him and Mary. Mary is trying to get through to a recently orphaned girl at Safe Place and is frustrated that she's not really making any progress. They eventually talk and air their personal struggles and realize they want a kid. Surprise! The kid they want is the orphan. That's what THE BEAST is about. Smh. The story just dragged to me. It did not take me long to KNOW what the end was going to be. Yeah, they get the kid and now they have a family. With the title being THE BEAST, you'd think beastie would make more than TWO physical appearances. I don't know, maybe it's me expecting too much from Ward, but this story felt like she was trying to create an unnecessary story for a favorite character. (Not mine but I think I'm in the minority)
The side stories....
I originally was not a fan of layla and xcor's story. In preparation for THE BEAST, I did a re-read and was captivated by their tragic, forbidden love. It reeked of untapped passion. I'm thoroughly excited that their story is next in THE CHOSEN. I'm glad her and her young survived what felt like a 2-3 year pregnancy.
Again, I originally did not like Assail and Marisol's story, but found myself looking forward to reading more. Although sola isn't really present in this book, Assail's part in this book was highly entertaining. I'm totally rooting on him to "get" Throe. Throe's confusion about his attraction to him was surprisingly erotic. I hope that after Assail detoxes we see Sola back in his life.
The "human" Jo was only interesting because she's the unknown sister of Manny. I'm sure the warden will somehow incorporate her into the BDB's world since Vishous (who is my #1 favorite) got a vibe from her. I don't know who her love interest will be, maybe one of the BASTARDS.
So the Scribe Virgin is "dead" and will appoint a successor at a later date. Why is she gone? How will she appoint a replacement? This was confusing to me. Especially since the Omega is definitely NOT gone. I thought they were all about balance. I'm sure Ward will give an explanation of sorts but for now me and the BDB were left scratching our heads.
In conclusion, this is the 1st book in the series I don't see me re-reading multiple times. It was forgettable and I don't think it deserved 508 pages. It wasn't horribly written be any means, it just felt unnecessary. I can understand from an author's POV that they have to create stories to keep their fans engaged, but that's what introducing new characters are for. Or at least give EVERY character a book (seriously can my boy LASSITER please get a d*mn book already) before revisiting old favorites.
My apologies for the all over the place review and for any grammar or spelling errors. I didn't want to give ALL the spoilers away but I did want to touch on what I enjoyed. This book did NOT turn me away from the series but I could have lived without it.

4.5 stars-intense, intoxicating and uplifting
By Sandy S.
NOTE: review may contain spoilers
4.5 stars--THE BEAST is the fourteenth installment in J.R.Ward’s contemporary, adult BLACK DAGGER BROTHERHOOD paranormal series focusing on an elite group of vampire warriors and their King. THE BEAST is the continuing story of the sexy vampire Rhage, and his shellan Mary Luce. For fans of the series, we are all well aware of Rhage’s alter ego-his other-and in this Rhage’s other makes an appearance or two throughout the story.
THE BEAST focuses on relationships and family-primarily Mary and Rhage’s- and their struggle as a couple together and apart. As the Black Dagger Brotherhood family continues to grow, Rhage will come full circle facing a future that is missing ‘something’ or ‘someone’ while Mary consoles with an orphaned child now under the care of the woman’s shelter known as ‘Safe Place’. Throughout the previous story lines Mary and Rhage have struggled with their relationship-growing further apart with each successive story.
We are witness to a battle with the lessers, the slayers, and the re-appearance of the Omega. Rhage will discover that running into battle without the support of his brothers means the likelihood of facing your immortality-head on.
As per JR Ward’s writing style, there are several ongoing and developing stories:
LAYLA: The Chosen known as Layla is currently on bed rest while she carries Qhuinn’s son and daughter. But Layla suspects a prisoner has been brought into the BDB household when she discovers that the man with whom she is falling love is in danger of going into the fade. The resulting anxiety finds Layla facing a crisis of her own.
ASSAIL: Our intrepid cocaine-addicted vampire is lost without the human woman that calls to his soul. Assail finds himself working for the Black Dagger Brotherhood, infiltrating into the Glymera, and discovering that there are dark and dangerous secrets hidden behind locked doors and secret walls. Assail will prove that he is worthy of a future- with whomever it will be.
XCOR: Hoping to catch some action in the battle with the slayers, Xcor will come face to face with the Brotherhood, and the resulting aftermath finds the ‘Bastard’ imprisoned while he struggles to recover after a life-threatening attack.
THROE: Here is another member of the Band of Bastards who is trying to secure a future, with or without the aid of the others. Throe’s infiltration of one of the Glymera households starts an investigation that finds Assail at the forefront of a rescue that doesn’t end too well for some of the others.
There is another side story developing that involves several human miscreants, drug addicts and reporters. A grainy video has been uplifted to You-Tube showing a ‘monster’ on the loose, and a female investigator finds herself facing a future she never knew she had.
Most of the members of the Brotherhood , their mates (and their household guests) play secondary and supporting roles although many by way of mention only including Trez and iAm. Payne, Jane, and Manny are all called into action for their skillset of medical, surgical and healing abilities; some will be injured, while others struggle to survive-not everyone will live to see another day, and in this there is another story line developing as to the who, when and why.
THE BEAST is an emotional story line about family, loss, and the future. JR Ward blends lighthearted moments with an imaginative story line about one couple’s desires, wants and their needs while facing a future, looking for something more. The premise is intense, intoxicating and uplifting; the characters are familiar and energetic; the romance is a rebuilding of a relationship that has struggled with insecurity and differing paths on a journey meant to bring two people back together. J. R. Ward will captivate your imagination; pull you into the story line; and never let go when the passion and emotions roll away with your soul.

Fantastic storytelling on all levels
By anon
JR Ward deserves 6 stars for this one. WOW WOW WOW.
I think the best thing about this one was how tight she kept the storytelling--we weren't bombarded with 20 pov's and the ones we saw were richly developed. And so it was so much easier to connect with Assail, to feel Rhage and Mary's desire to adopt Bitty growing with every tuned page, to feel the sad, star-crossed connection between Layla and Xcor even if they never spoke.
Rhage/Mary-JR Ward hit the perfect note with Rhage in terms of the jokester, the Beast, the guy who is devoted to his Mary, and now the man who is ready to be a father. Like some of the other Brothers, I didn't think their "book" really made me fall in love with the characters as much as other moments in the series did. This second focus on them really changed that.
Vishous-It seems like Vishous is always one of Ward's favorites, whereas others (Phury particularly, but also Rehvenge, Tohr) never get the spotlight or even show up with more than a mention. Hopefully that eventually evens out more, much as I like Vishous. Anyway, here he's super both in his mommy issues with the Scribe Virgin, his stiffness with Jane, and in the awesome scenes with Assail in particular.
Assail-Huge secondary story arc that was masterfully pulled off by Ward. His slow turn around from moral-less drug lord to tortured soul to the moment he finds the blood slave and the true fiber of his character is revealed was exquisitely done. The phone call to Sola, his decision to get help and the way the book ends have me very much hoping Assail/Sola will be the couple featured in the next book. I LOVE the idea of Assail having to tell Sola he's a vampire and how all of that will fall out, since at this point, she still doesn't know.
Layla/Xcor-On the one hand, I'm thrilled with the fact that both twins lived (and love the names.) There's just this teensy niggling frustration that why does Payne pull out the magical healing abilities *sometimes* for a premature baby, but Selena was allowed to die? Why does she save the babies twice, in fact? It just seems a little too convenient. I really would have wished they just take that part out and have Payne's intervention not be needed, rather than have what seems like big plot loopholes. Loved the connection she has with Xcor the entire time. Itching for how the brotherhood will find out she's connected with him. And I had been wondering if Tohr was the one Xcor was related to so squealed when that part came up since that will create HUGE drama down the road.
Bitty-adored her.
Those investigating humans-didn't get very attached to anyone. Will try harder on reread now that I know one is Manny's sibling.
Lassiter is growing on me. But what are they supposed to do without the Scribe Virgin? Can a deity just up and disappear herself? And who will this successor be? (Cowers at the thought of Lassiter.)
