Observăm cum genul romance paranormal capătă valențe noi în cel de-al șaisprezecelea volum al celebrei serii Black Dagger Brotherhood. J. R. Ward subversează convenția clasică a „vampirului salvator” prin introducerea unei eroine, Sola Morte, a cărei forță provine dintr-un trecut infracțional pur uman. Suntem de părere că această alegere narativă oferă o ancoră de realism într-un univers marcat de conflicte ancestrale și magie întunecată. Premisa este una de o intensitate fragilă: Assail, un personaj complex care și-a ascuns natura față de femeia iubită, se află la granița dintre viață și moarte, iar singura lui șansă de supraviețuire este tocmai prezența celei pe care a încercat să o protejeze prin distanțare. Ca și The Sinner, acest roman explorează tema secretelor care pot distruge o conexiune erotică profundă, însă se diferențiază prin perspectiva Sola-ei, care trebuie să navigheze nu doar o lume a monștrilor, ci și propria traumă legată de viața de fugară. În contextul operei autoarei, The Thief continuă explorarea dualității dintre păcat și mântuire, teme recurente și în alte lucrări precum Envy sau Rapture, dar aici accentul cade pe sacrificiul personal în fața unui inamic nou, colectiv. Stilul este cel consacrat al lui J. R. Ward: un ritm alert, scene de o senzualitate brută și o construcție de lume care refuză simplificările, transformând fiecare bătălie într-o chestiune de onoare și apartenență.

The Thief started off with Assail being coma in the BDB mansion and his cousins go for Sola for their hope that she could save him in some ways. For his sake, Sola comes to meet Assail for one last time. She is there for saying goodbye but she hasn't imagined that he would open his eyes and recover very fast. V and Jane also have their problems to solve. V's insecurity is increasing and it starts effecting his love life. He must do something to fix what's happening in his mind and he has no idea that his conflicts would lead to their failed relationship. I loved this couple. I've been there for them all the time, and having a chance to meet them once agian in this book made me so happy. I used to be annoyed because of communication between Assail and Sola being destined to fail. Sola always run from her problems and Assail doesn't face them either. That's a massive failure. But in this book, the situation forces them to open their hearts gradually and there's no secret lying between them. I'm glad that the story turns to this way even if the ending felt a bit rush and Assail being careless was quite unbelievable for me. Anyway, I liked the most part of this book. V and Lassiter being together in the same room is the best scene I could ask for.

Jessica Rowley Pell Bird Blakemore, cunoscută sub pseudonimul J. R. Ward, este o figură centrală a literaturii contemporane de consum din Statele Unite. Cu o carieră marcată de numeroase prezențe în topul New York Times Best Seller, ea a revoluționat subgenul paranormal romance prin seria Black Dagger Brotherhood.

Sub numele Jessica Bird, scrie romance contemporan, însă ca J. R. Ward a creat un univers complex unde mitul vampirului este reinterpretat prin prisma unei ierarhii războinice moderne.


Descriere

New enemies rise and desire burns in the next thrilling novel of the New York Times bestselling paranormal romance series the Black Dagger Brotherhood.

Sola Morte, former cat burglar and safe-cracker, has given up her old life on the wrong side of the law. On the run from a drug lord's family, she is lying low far from Caldwell, keeping her nose clean and her beloved grandmother safe. Her heart, though, is back up north, with the only man who has ever gotten through her defenses: Assail, who never meant to fall in love - and certainly not with a human. But they have no future, and not just because she doesn't know he is a vampire, but because he is not about to stop dealing arms to the Black Dagger Brotherhood.

Fate, however, has other plans for them. When Assail falls into a coma and lingers on the verge of death, his cousins seek out Sola and beg her to give him a reason to live. The last thing she wants is a return to her past, but how can she leave him to die?

As a lethal new enemy of the vampires shows its face, Sola finds herself not only a target, but a mission-critical force in a war she doesn't understand. And when Assail's truth comes out, will she run from the horror . . . or follow her heart into the arms of the male who loves her more than life itself?
