Lover Reborn is the tenth book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by American author, J.R. Ward. While this novel mainly concerns the story of Tohr and NoOne, there are, as usual, several subplots: Xcor, Throe and the Band of Bastards set out to ingratiate themselves with the glymera and plot to kill the Blind King, Wrath; there is trouble in paradise when John Matthew finds hehas a problem with Xhex fighting lessers; while Blay and Saxton appear to be a couple, things are not over between him and Qhuinn; the Chosen Layla and Qhuinn take a surprising step; and Xhex and NoOne get some quality time together. The main story is mostly narrated by Tohr, whose murdered shellan, Wellsie, is stuck in the In Between, and can only be freed, according to that most unlikely of angels, Lassiter, if Tohr takes up with NoOne. Ward writes this instalment in seasons, as the events that surround the Black Dagger Brotherhood over a year. Once again, the plot is original, with several twists to keep it interesting. The world Ward has created is certainly an enthralling one that she comprehensively supports with plenty of information about what, who and how. Ward develops her characters so well that the reader is bound to invest some emotion. In this book, the interesting concept of the females needing is explored. The final pages set up the next instalment, Lover At Last, the eagerly-awaited story of Blay and Qhuinn. This series is surprisingly addictive.
