The daughter of a legend finds the love of a lifetime in this passionate, heart-wrenching installment in J.R. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.
Nalla,
the blooded daughter of Zsadist, has led a sheltered life. Protected by
her father and the Brotherhood, kept away from the deadly war with the
Lessening Society, she is chafing against the walls of the very safety
that has ensured her survival. One night, she gives in to her
restlessness...and finds herself face-to-face with a male whose inner
darkness rivals even that of her sire’s horrific origins.
Nate
is a fighter with nothing to lose—and nothing to live for. Tortured in a
human lab as a young, then cursed with immortality, he is all vengeance
and no purpose because he cares for no one—not even himself. The
Brotherhood knows this all too well and following Nate’s deliberate
violation of the cardinal rule in the war, they declare him a dangerous
liability that must be dealt with.
When Nalla and Nate find
themselves fighting side by side, daggers aren’t the only things that
fly. A sizzling attraction is ignited, though Nalla knows her sire will
never accept him—and on his side, Nate has made a secret bargain to end
his own immortality. As the enemy closes in, and Nalla realizes she must
choose between her mate and her sire, what starts with such passion may
well end with eternal sorrow and no chance of a reunion—even in the
Fade.

What I thought about The Beloved
Caldwell and the Blackdagger Brotherhood is back with the "next generation" in The Beloved, the story of Nalla, the daughter of Zsadist and Bella
and Nate, an assassin with many scars in his past.
The
Beloved picks up right where Lassiter left off, which I loved about this book. The return of Wrath was a huge moment in Lassiter and it deserved more page time, so I'm thrilled we did get to see Wrath's reunion with his fellow brothers. His return was a great way to revisit with the core group of
Brothers and their shellans and I'll always want that in any BDB
book. But I was also eager to learn more about this next generation and
there's plenty of Nalla, Bitty and L.W. (who I think is going to be a
huge fan favorite -- I already love him!)
All
of the young are now adults. They are all struggling to find
themselves and cut the apron strings between them and their parents. None more than Nalla, who's father
is the scariest of all the Brothers. Zsadist isn't afraid to threaten
any male interested in his daughter and there's all sorts of tensions
between Nalla and Bella too! I loved the tension between them all while
the deep love between them comes across so well in The Beloved. The conflicts between Nalla and her parents are realistic and a great way to start this next generation series. I loved Nalla alot in this story. She
is most definitely her father's daughter and she isn't afraid to show
it! The action sequences are terrific and that ending had me cheering!
There weren't any big
surprises for me in The Beloved. It was more like a visit with old friends, but
there was awesome right-on-time action, plenty of steamy moments
between Nate and Nalla that will have you fanning yourself, and enough
of the enemy to make you remember why they are hated. I devoured this
book in a couple of days, and loved every word. Then went back and read
the ending again! Loved it!
