Series strengths: Heroes are to-die-for, relationship between the members of the Black Dagger Brotherhood is well expressed, world-building is thorough and well-developed, dialogue is natural and realistic.
Series weaknesses: Heroines tend to serve more as props for heroes than viable characters in their own right, basic plot very similar between the first three books, creative spelling of character names and vampire terminology can be off-putting.
