Review - Lover Mine (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #8) by J.R. Ward

I have to say this may be my favorite book in the series. In the story we learn that Xhex, John Matthew (Darius), and Tohrture had/has a close tie with each other. A tie only one remembers having. Lash got his final reward though I don't think we've seen the last of him. Xhex and John mated after they made themselves emotionally vulnerable. Tohr stood for John and Xhex had her mom stood up for her (wasn't that a shocker?) It was nice seeing Xhex getting back to her old self. Though with a few improvements she was the same kick butt take no crap sympath/vampire she has always been. It seems that Tohr is finally on the way to healing the pain of losing his shellan is still there but he is no longer wallowing. Him and John (for reasons we found out) are once again close. It seems that their closeness was always meant to happen though now the roles are reversed. I wonder if eventually John will finally realize who he is? V is reunited with his sister Payne whom he thought had died. Blay and Qhuinn finally let each other go. The next installment should be just as interesting as a lover who was once thought dead may still be alive.
