Combined Rating:  3 Notes and 2 Flames

Glimpse Our Thoughts: 
J.R. Ward just keeps disappointing me with the BDB series!  What I thought was going to be a book about my two favorite characters from the series, turned into a book about Sola and Asil who I care nothing for!  #Deeply Disappointed!!!!

Goodreads Synopsis:

Long live the King…

After turning his back on the throne for centuries, Wrath, son of Wrath, finally assumed his father’s mantle--with the help of his beloved mate. But the crown sets heavily on his head. As the war with the Lessening Society rages on, and the threat from the Band of Bastards truly hits home, he is forced to make choices that put everything--and everyone--at risk.

Beth Randall thought she knew what she was getting into when she mated the last pure blooded vampire on the planet: An easy ride was not it. But when she decides she wants a child, she’s unprepared for Wrath’s response--or the distance it creates between them.

The question is, will true love win out... or tortured legacy take over?

The King by J.R. Ward: How Many of My Feckin Questions Did That Chick Answer?

Hola Chickies!  So a couple of weeks ago, I posted a list of questions I really hoped would get answered by J.R. Ward in her latest Black Dagger Brotherhood Book, The King!  Let's see how well she did with satisfying my curiosity!

P.S.  Mild spoilers for the book so read at your own risk!

1. Where is the damn Scrib Virgin?  That chick been missing since Payne's book and in multiple ways.  Alas, I got no new information on the Scrib Virgin.....so that chick is still missing somewhere playing with the birds V brought her!


2.  When is Butch's ass going to be able to demateralize.  Come on, Dude been running for the Escalade for 18 years now!  Hell, I don't even think I really even got a good Butch moment in this book so NOPE Butch is still running for the damn Escalade!  Go figure!

The King by J.R. Ward: Things I Fecking Hope Ward Addresses in this book!

Holy chickies....Happy Friday and all that jazz!  If you're like Celie and I the hype over J.R. Ward's latest edition to the Black Dagger Brotherhood, The King is in full swing.  With that being said, there are a few things you must do prior to the official release of the book.

1. Officially start hacking at work on Monday morning to justify your sick call into work


2. Wake up at zero:30 in the morning on 4/1 to download a copy of the audiobook from Audible...cause why the hell would you read that shit when Jim Fragione can read it to you?


3. Put a Do-not-fecking-disturb sign on the door so there are no interruptions! - This is VERY important


4. Commence listening....while also yelling about having Wrath/Beth moments interrupted by the fecking bastards that you don't give a shit about!

So those are the things that should be done in advance of purchasing the book/audiobook on Tuesday.  But even more important is taking some time to consider all the freaking lingering details J.R. Ward and given throughout the series and hoping/praying that for once, she sticks to her fecking storyline and answers some of the following questions:
