OMG, the beast/dragon/monster thing that Rhage turns into in the Black Dagger Brotherhood books is "purple and lime green."

He turns into Barney the Purple Dinosaur, people! I was envisioning something like Vincent Valentine's limit breaks from FF7, but no -- his "beast" is purple and green.

Also, V/Sid (his name is "Vishous." I kid you not. "Vishous." So I call him Sid because "V" is a masked anarchist, not a psychic vampire as played by Vin Diesel) and Butch are gayer in every succeeding book up until Lover Revealed (I've avoided the one where Sid gets a beard, on the recommendation of pretty much the entire internet). Like, they're already pretty gay in this one, and Ward kicks it up a notch in Lover Awakened, and then by Revealed we're at slashcon five and they have a soulbond and Sid is trying to kill himself because Butch is going to leave him.

Also the men all look like Liefeld art and use this stupid fake rap/urban/street slang that I doubt exists outside the author's head, and brand names are dropped relentlessly in order to keep Ward from ever having to actually decribe anything, but y'all already know that. And their names all have random extra 'H's in them. And in one book, a guy's cock is described as "phearsome." It's like watching a trainwreck. A trainwreck with lots of bulging muscles and oral sex.

Is this the one where the bad guys smell like talcum powder? I couldn't even get past the glossary at the start. When I got to "bad guys who hunt us and are ancient and smell of talcum powder" I had to stop.
