Favorite Passage
Then I, Wrath, son of Wrath, do take you as my shellan, to watch over and care
for you and any begotten young we may have, sure as I would and will my
kingdom, and its citizenry. You shall be mine foreermoreyour enemies are
mine own, your bloodline to mix with mine own, your dusks and your dawns to
share only with me. This bond shall neer be torn asunder by forces within or
withoutandhere he pausedthere shall be one and only one female for all
mine days, and you shall be that only queen.
This is my favorite passage because it shows what love can do to you.
Wrath is a man who cares about nothing and no one, but for Beth hed do
anything. He has a huge soft spot for her and shes making him soft.

Personal Response
This book, along with the series has taught
me that it is very possible to be a family without
actually being blood related. Although there are
a lot of altercations between the characters,
theyll all die for one another. I was able to fall
in love with every character in this series
because they all have unique personalities and
equally unique flaws/pasts.

Additional Facts
The King is the 12th book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood
series. This series is NOT a young adult series. Its about 6
foot, built vampires that fight in a war to protect their
population of citizen vampires.
