The Shadows (Black Dagger Brotherhood #13)
by J.R. Ward
Expected publication: April 7th 2015

Two brothers bound by more than blood fight to change a brutal destiny in the heart-wrenching new novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood by #1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward.

Trez “Latimer” doesn’t really exist. And not just because the identity was created so that a Shadow could function in the underbelly of the human world. Sold by his parents to the Queen of the S’Hsibe as a child, Trez escaped the Territory and has been a pimp and an enforcer in Caldwell, NY for years- all the while on the run from a destiny of sexual servitude. He’s never had anyone he could totally rely on... except for his brother, iAm.

iAm’s sole goal has always been to keep his brother from self-destructing- and he knows he’s failed. It’s not until the Chosen Serena enters Trez’s life that the male begins to turn things around... but by then it’s too late. The pledge to mate the Queen’s daughter comes due and there is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and no negotiating.

Trapped between his heart and a fate he never volunteered for, Trez must decide whether to endanger himself and others- or forever leave behind the female he’s in love with. But then an unimaginable tragedy strikes and changes everything. Staring out over an emotional abyss, Trez must find a reason to go on or risk losing himself and his soul forever. And iAm, in the name of brotherly love, is faced with making the ultimate sacrifice...

This is an amazing series from J.R. Ward!! I have read the entire series 3 times already and it never gets old. Trez and iAm are secondary characters in the previous books, but we'll learn more about the strange brothers in this book. I'm excited to know more about there history and how they came to be Rev's right and left hands." The Warden", as she is affectionately called by her fans, writes her books like a soap opera going from scene to scene, character to character. This style of writing works well in this series with so many primary and secondary stories. I only wish these books were released twice a year instead of once but I won't complain because I'll be one of the first to pre-order this book as soon as it's available. 

What are you Waiting On?
