Me: “Yes. Let me bring it to his attention.”

Ladies and gentlemen, the Black Dagger Brotherhood, a series of eight vampire-fucker novels written by JR Ward, and published by an imprint of Penguin, in just two years (with the ninth due out in a few months). The characters have names like “Rhage”, “Zsadist”, “Vishous”, “Xhex”, and (my favorite) “Qhuinn”. The head vampire, Wrath, is blind, and led about by a seeing-eye dog. I have no idea whether the dog is also a vampire.

The fine ladies of the Smart Bitches Trashy Books site have great fun snarking on that series. :D And they got a guy they'd challenged to read romance novels to do a hilarious review of his spin through Book 1. You can find his posts all linked in here.

Hee! It's like Rowena Cherry and her penchant for Dj-names -- Djonn, Djason, Djustine. I bet the vampires don't play half so much chess as the Djinn, though. :)

I have not read these. I am grateful I have not read these.
