LOVER FORBIDDEN The Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 23

Narrator Jim Frangione returns the listener to Caldwell, New York, where vampires live, unbeknownst to humans. When Lyric, a female vampire, is saved from a flying billboard by a stranger named Devlin, sparks fly between them. Yet vampires are being hunted by "lessers," humans without souls, who want to kill them. Lyric's family helps fight the lessers, and Frangione ratchets up the tension during the moments of battle. As Lyric copes with the impending death of her grandmother, Frangione brings out her grief. Devlin cares for Lyric but recognizes the barriers between them, and Frangione's performance expresses his frustration. Frangione can be counted on to deliver all the drama and passion in this novel.
