Even better the 2nd time around. This is still my favorite Vampire ever. Zsadist is scarry and a bad ass but to is Bella, he is soft, caring and increadibly sweet. This had so many twists and turns and ups and downs, so sexy you couldnt put it down. I loved that we got to see his past and how he became who he is. The way he took control and blowed through Lessors like they were nothing, he is one bad ass. The needing was a good touch and wow, 12 hours of sex, holy cow. It was funny to see how the other brothers all reacted at the table before it hit and the after math of Bella's needing. I was so great to see the changes Z went through and the love both him and Bella had and what he would do for her. Again, this was my fav, well written, kept you on your toes, great storyline and mind blowing sex.
