Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? kindly contact the vampire kingdom whatsApp at +1 602 962 0326 or on their email vampiretemple10@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12867215767458501931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623825072053977838.post-69120785873234747922018-12-28T15:54:15.627-08:002018-12-28T15:54:15.627-08:00I have to agree with this being an awful series.

Both series are good for starting up the firepit.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623825072053977838.post-20686019740485871902018-11-21T17:34:10.074-08:002018-11-21T17:34:10.074-08:00I think stuff such as silly names, bad characteriz...I think stuff such as silly names, bad characterization, unrealistic dialogue, poorly constructed plot are pretty damn good reasons to not like a book, and almost certainly has nothing to do with being narrowminded.

Obsessively narrow minded and intolerant of others interests and style. When you read a book you are an onlooker into that written world. I see a lack of empathy and complete objectivity in those who judge these authors so harshly. If you do not like the book then at least dislike it for an actual reason, not because you can't stand the music the characters listen to or the vernacular they use simply because its different from your own opinion. You wouldn't quit on your friends if they didn't like the same music you did or bevause they used out of date slang.

I only made it through like...2 or ...OH MY GOD yes. I only made it through like...2 or 3 chapters before I had to return it. I just couldn't stand it. The names were dumb, the character descriptions were cliche and offputting, and the dialogue was silly in a bad way. Also seemed extremely sexist in every way, INCLUDING the male gender roles.<br /><br />I read the descriptions of some of the later books and a character that pops up in like the 8th book is named Xhex!!! HOW DO YOU EVEN PRONOUNCE THAT?!?!?! And I'm flabbergasted that these books have such good reviews! I just....I'm just so confused...<br /><br />As a point of comparison, I thought 50 Shades of Grey was a horribly written book (though so popular that I was convinced to give it a shot) and I still actually made it all the way through it.

I agree on so many points and can not understand why the Black Dagger series is so popular. <br />I have read the complete series so far, the first volumes because paranormal romance was a new genre to me and I liked the idea of it. I read the later volumes because I just wanted to know how the story continued and if there were any improvements. <br />There are so many things that made me shake my head in disbelief that Black Dagger is such a reader`s favourite! <br />Extreme cheesiness is one point (Who stills wears Ed Hardy?), the weak story line another. I found the way women are treated and depicted in a very sexistic way disgusting.<br />I can't understand why so many female readers love this series, as liking a book also means a certain identification with its characters. <br />I soon discovered the Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian and was finally happy to have found a series that provided good and sometimes even suspenseful story-telling, multi-faceted characters, tasteful sex scenes and everything else you expect when you choose a book like this. I was glad to see that women don't always have to be the weak and dismissive sex kittens waiting to be saved and to be protected by a strong and archaic warrior sex god with a horrible fashion sense ;-) <br />Please excuse the flaws in my writing since English is not my first language... <br />Thank you for your review, it was good to see that there are other book lovers who don't agree. <br />Best wishes, SabrinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623825072053977838.post-66537400601717899252013-08-12T08:49:57.454-07:002013-08-12T08:49:57.454-07:00I find it interesting that when I looked for the t...I find it interesting that when I looked for the top 10 paranormal romance series on Google, Blackdagger Brotherhood was, wait for it, just about everyone's first choice.

I bought the box set, and it's not so bad that I will burn and salt the ashes of literature, so I will continue to read the rest. I agree with the names- totally distracting. The characters have no individual voices either, completely lack any substance and are very unrealistic (nothing but clichés). The romance seems forced, (that whole love at first sight and 'I love you' and will marry you within 72 hrs). By far the most distracting part is the fact that the book makes peripheral characters central, which means there are about 8 stories going on in the book. Which means by the time I finally get into one section, it changes to a different character and *poof* my interest is gone.

I actually googled for reviews that did not love it. I agree the names are annoying and you can't take it seriously. I had high hopes after seeing so many raves for this series. I also love the Sookie Stackhouse books and I just finished the fever series by Karen Marie Moning which was excellent.

I've just started it now and I wondered what others thought and found this.<br />I must say, the names annoy me, but you do hear more about the names during the next few books. They have a reason for the name, don't worry. Not all vampires have those types of names. They get better, and you kind of just blur them out, they don't bother you after a while :) <br />Also, the way they speak does grind my gears. They are hundreds of years old, but speak like wannabe gangsters? Maybe it's just because they live near/in New York? <br />Other than that, I've fallen in love with the series. <br />Each woman is different, Beth gets better, although she changes in the next few books. Each Brother gets better, Zsadist being my favourite. Bella being my favourite woman.<br />I do think the books get better as they go on, and if you don't mind how they talk, it's a great series :)<br />Although, everyone has their own opinions and if you didn't like them, then that's cool, but you have good taste in other places! <br />I'm thinking I'm going to stop once I get to John's story. I have a feeling it's going to turn into an Anita Blake thing, where the first books have a story, but soon turn into book porn :D <br />I loved the harper connelly books! <br />Have you read Women Of The Otherworld series? By Kelley armstrong?
