Book Review: The Thief - JR Ward

35819729
Sola Morte, former cat burglar and safecracker, 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, son of Assail, who never meant to fall in love--and certainly not with a human woman.  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 coman 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, and the Brotherhood needs Assail back on his feet, 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?

3/5 stars (liked it)
As always JR Ward does not disappoint.  This book is about the love story between Assail and Sola.  She helps Assail heal and then find out the truth (that he's a vampire) and she has to decide if she stays or she goes.  Also in this book is the story of Vishous and Jane and their no so happily ever after.  They got together in a previous book and it seems JR Ward cannot give the brothers a happily ever after but give them marital problems.  Also in the mix is a new enemy which was briefly introduced in the previous book.  That is Throe, who has a mysterious book that has him summon Shadows which he can use to fight the Brotherhood.
