Book Blurb:
In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there’s a deadly war raging between vampires and their slayers. And there exists a secret band of brothers like no other - six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Of these, Zsadist is the most terrifying member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood.
A former blood slave, the vampire Zsadist still bears the scars from a past filled with suffering and humiliation. Renowned for his unquenchable fury and sinister deeds, he is a savage feared by humans and vampires alike. Anger is his only companion, and terror is his only passion—until he rescues a beautiful aristocrat from the evil Lessening Society.
Bella is instantly entranced by the seething power Zsadist possesses. But even as their desire for one another begins to overtake them both, Zsadist’s thirst for vengeance against Bella’s tormentors drives him to the brink of madness. Now, Bella must help her lover overcome the wounds of his tortured past, and find a future with her…

Amee's Review:
So I reached Lover Awakened on my re-read of the BDB and I hesitated not because I don't absolutely love this book but because it is a hard one to get through, allow me to explain. This is the story of Zsadist, and Zsadist has been through, there is no other way of putting it, HELL. When his twin Phury tells the female who wants so badly to love him, Bella, that he is "ruined not broken" he is 100% spot on. It is going to take nothing short of a miracle to bring him back to life. The Brotherhood see's Zsadist almost as a liability more then an asset, but Bella see's him as more then that she can tell there is something more inside of that hard sell he portrays. When Bella is kidnapped by an overly crazy Lesser Zsadist is on a mission to find her, he himself doesn't understand why he even cares but none the less he feels it his duty. He will learn that it is because of his love for Bella that he is so crazy over her tragedy. It is not an easy road for the two of them and flash backs into Zsadists past make your heart bleed for the vampire. The story of Zsadist and Bella is not the only thing happening in this book, J.R. Ward continues to build the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood and some very monumental events happen, none of which I will spoil if you haven't read this book because they are BIG ONES.
I would advise anyone who sits down to read this book to have plenty of tissues on hand because you are going to need them from beginning to end. This is why I say this one is tuff for me to get through, I have not ever done a re-read of Zsadists book because even though I know how everything turns out my heart bleeds for him and for other aspects of this book. My favorite character, John Matthew *sigh*, experiences heartache of his own and it is hard for me to revisit. This all being said how can you not say this book is absolutely amaZing! I think that this is the book that made the Brotherhood famous because I think that this book is a critical turning point in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. By the end of this book you feel so in tune with the characters and their lives you almost feel like you are part of it. Only an amaZing writer like J.R. Ward can make you feel the way she makes me feel by the end of her stories and she proves it hole heartily through this book. If you enjoyed Dark Lover and Lover Eternal, Lover Awakened will just suck (pun intended) you deeper into the BDB. Once you finish Lover Awakened there is no turning back you will be addicted to this series and these characters will forever be a part of you.
