The Shadows: (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 13) by J. R. Ward | Summary & Analysis

This is a Summary & Analysis of The Shadows. Bestselling author JR Ward’s The Shadows continues the current tendencies of modern vampire fiction as TrezLath and iAm, as well as their friends and associates, stumble into and through romance. Their stumblings produce politically charged results that speak to the arcane bureaucracies associated with vampiric depictions since Rice and White Wolf and permit the kind of open violence to be expected of super-strong, long-lived, intelligent predators stalking the nights of a world not unlike that of readers.

J. R. Ward’s The Shadows, continues the Black Dagger Brotherhood series into its thirteenth volume. In its main storylines, TrezLath and iAm both find their ways into romances that manage to reinforce their fraternal bonds. The former seeks to escape a predetermined stud-duty in no small part because of his falling into a love he ultimately loses, which the latter unexpectedly finds himself in love with a lover initially promised to another. Several other plot threads seem to flow from earlier volumes and suggest future works in the series, both in terms of personal investment and of political intrigue.

• Book Review
• Story Setting Analysis of The Shadows

IT WAS GREAT THE WAY IT WENT FROM TREZ'S AND iAM AND WHAT HAPPEN AT THE END. IT WAS ALSO GREAT THAT SHE USED ALL THE BROTHERHOOD THRU OUT THE BOOK.

WOW!!
This was, for sure, the best book of all!
It had everything and it had Trez's and Selenas story, although I have to admit, I had tears in my eyes.
I really hope this was't the last book in the Brothers serie?

Thank You Very much Ms Ward

I really enjoy the back stories and I can refer to it when reading other books in the series to research characters I may have forgotten about.
