The Black Dagger Sisterhood: Women in J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood Series

The Black Dagger Sisterhood: Women in J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood Series VBC HQ Note: This post by Chelsea Mueller was originally published on Heroes & Heartbreakers in 2011. Since that time, J.R. Ward has brought us many more strong heroines. If you’re looking for more female leads from Ward, try the spin-off series beginning with Blood Kiss. That said, Chelsea still says the early BDB books are must reads. If you haven’t dived into this series, let’s talk about the power of...

25 Days of Book Boyfriends: Craeg (BDB Legacy) A couple weeks ago I joked on Twitter that I was in need of a book boyfriend Advent calendar.

So, to make the chaotic holiday season a little more fun and a lot more sexy, we’re going to feature a book boyfriend every day for the next 25 days. That’s right. Welcome to VBC’s 25 Days of Book...

The Alpha Showdown 2015 Champion is…

The Alpha Showdown 2015 Champion is… Wrath! The mighty vampire warrior and king has claimed the title this year after some seriously hard-fought battles. He took out Raphael, Kate Daniels and Mad Rogan to make it to the championship match. Pretty damn impressive, and worthy of honors. Both he and final-round competitor Kaleb had fans rally for them, but in the end the Black Dagger Brotherhood member who has not one, but two books about him...

Alpha Showdown 2015 Round 11: Kate Daniels vs. Wrath

Alpha Showdown 2015 Round 11: Kate Daniels vs. Wrath It’s been a wicked Alpha Showdown so far. Both the characters in today’s match had lots of fans come out for them in their first rounds. But they both won by only a handful of votes. Will this round be the same? Kate Daniels from the Ilona Andrews’ series of the same name took out Bones, and Wrath from J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood beat the archangel Raphael. It’s going to be a close one, and your...

Alpha Showdown 2015 Round 7: Raphael vs. Wrath

Alpha Showdown 2015 Round 7: Raphael vs. Wrath It makes sense in a battle of ultimate alpha characters that we’d have the primo leaders of their respective worlds in this year’s Alpha Showdown. In Round 7 we have two of the biggest, baddest and most loved leaders. Raphael is an archangel—leading angels and vampires and watching over humans—from Nalini Singh’s excellent Guild Hunter series. Wrath is the vampire king in J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger...
