Let's be honest here, as a standalone book, this wouldn't have amounted to much. Even as part of a series you have to admit it is a pretty weak first book. The whole Brotherhood seems to be made up of Wrath, Zhadist and a bunch of muscleheads that don't have their own personality.
What's with their names by the way? Wrath, Zhadist, Phury, Vishous, Tohrment and... Darius? What the hell's all that about?
Even so, the storyline itself was pretty nice and the POV characters in this book are pretty well-rounded and multi-layered, which made me hopefull for the rest of the series.
Let's hope the writer will be better able to flesh out the rest of her cast.
