The Viper

Black Dagger Brotherhood: Prison Camp, Book 3

De: J.R. Ward

Narrado por: Jim Frangione

A heart-wrenching tale of love and betrayal in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world from #1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward.

Framed for the grisly murder of his shellan, Kane is condemned to the notorious prison camp—unaware of the dark truth behind his arranged mating. Centuries later, when he is horribly burned while attempting to save others, he prays he’ll finally be reunited in the Fade with his mate…not knowing what revelations await him.

Nadya is a self-taught nurse who does what she can to ease the suffering of the prisoners. When Kane comes under her care, she cannot help but empathize with his condition for very personal reasons—and as the guards take him away one last time, she fears he is facing a terrible death.

After a daring rescue, Kane is offered a treatment that will change his very nature. Choosing life, for the time being, he goes back for the female who took such good care of him—but his duty to Nadya sets him on a collision course with his own past. When long-buried secrets are exposed, his self-destruction is inevitable…unless true love can save his soul.

Scary, sad and not much actual romance

I enjoyed listening to this story. I didn't really understand the sickness and healing even if he was a snake. Did he become a shape shifter or a host to it? Interesting.

Viper

loved it love the ppl in it and the person who read it did a great job.
falling in love with J R Ward all over again

The Warden is back

I have not thoroughly enjoyed a book from this particular series. The Viper changed that. Even though it was not really a romance, it was exciting and had you on the edge. I love the way she brought in BDB (would love to know what the other brothers are up to and not just V) whatever. This was a great ending and looking forward to what is to come.

More violence than usual

I love anything JRW. Her powers of description surpass any author I’ve read. I dislike having to say I didn’t care for this storyline however it did have its merit and feel sure we will see some of these characters again in future installments. Felt there was way too much violence in this story, much more than usual.

wow

is it too early to start asking for the next one? this was AMAZING. and HIGHLY RECOMMEND

4.5 Stars 🌟

Okay, I'm going to be the first to say that I have not really been bowled over by this spinoff series (which has actually been a surprise to me) but I love the world that has been created around the BDB gang and I am in this for the long haul regardless.

But....I DID like this book. Maybe I should have led with that? Probably.

This book has a whole lot of - well, I can't really think of another world but "Woo-Woo" stuff in it. We have Lucian, who we discovered was a Wolven in the last book, then there is the escaping team of Apex and Mayhem and then the star of the show...Kane.

So, the prison has been moved. For some reason, V is the only member of the BDB who seems to care about finding and helping these poor prisoners that have been held for centuries but it IS something that he can't stop thinking about.

Without going into spoilers, Kane has an odd experience with the spiritual head of the Wolven and things change because of that. We also get to meet the nurse who took care of Kane in the prison who is tormented by the sadistic "head of guards'. I'm not going into spoilers, but let's just say if you like to see justice done, you will like what happens to her.

Either way, I enjoyed this book more than I expected to. I also think that it is setting up some interesting things going forward. I'm curious to see where Ms. Ward is going to go from here. And, it goes without saying that Jim Frangione does his normal amazing job with the narration.

Loved it

This one was better then the first and second one, The BDB had a bigger role this time

Keep writing

I love the BDB series and spinoffs. I really enjoy the authors realistic dialogue writing style and the way the series characters are written throughout the spinoffs is amazing. The narrator is a genius! Perfectly bringing each character’s individual complex personality to life! This combination of author and narrator truly gifts the reader with an amazing creative visualization of these vampire’s lives and their world…

Fav prisoner book so far
