Thanks to listener Mayra from San Diego who poses the question under discussion: Should the Brotherhood books be in the “Romance” section at the bookstore? Or is there a better classification?

Brenda Joyce’s Deadly Series can be found here
Hush, Hush can be found here (and I think they should be nominated for best cover!)
Shiver can be found here (note: Shiver has been optioned for a movie)

Discussion of Chapters 7 and 8.

We learn more about the Lessening Society and the evil Mr. X. Wrath and Beth have their second encounter which, happily, turns out much better than the first one! All part of Dark Lover, the first book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.
