It looks like the Black Dagger Brotherhood cleaned house this year! I just finished the 2nd book today and I’l really diggin’ this series! The awards are well-deserved!
Around book 4 it starts getting REALLY good. *swoons for JM & V*
That series is some serious book crack!
WOW. Way to go JM, X and Ward!! It was a BDB year that’s for sure.
Fun results, the Brotherhood really cleaned house. Glad to see that North of Need did well too!
Oh, my picks did not take the top vote except once, but I was glad to see them several times in the close running.
That is an incredible amount of people coming out to vote- congrats!
Now that I see that BDB getting so many votes, I really must get busy and read them. New Year’s goal? (-;
Thanks for the fun opportunity to vote!
The BDB books will knock your socks off! I’ll link the review for the first one below. That one is good, but they just get better and better from there, so keep reading!! You’ll be a fellow Brother addict in no time. =D
