Sidekick Showcase (previously known as Sidekick Saturday) is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Jaclyn at JC's Book Haven. There are many secondary characters that are as great as the primaries. In some cases, the sidekicks actually steal the show and you like them better than the heroine or hero. Maybe they didn't have enough page time for how great they were. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Choose a sidekick *or someone other than the hero or heroine* that you would like to put in the spotlight that fits in this week's type
• Share a picture (if possible) and information about the character
• Give the title and author of a book the character can be found in
• Please don't include too many spoilers when describing why the character is such a great sidekick
• Put your link in the Linky thing and comment

This week, Jaclyn has chosen Creepy for the theme. I'm going with a character from a series I've never talked about on my blog before. Any guesses?!?
My pick is
Mr. X
from J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood

I'm not caught up in this series (shocking, I know! ;) but I've loved every one I've read. Lover Awakened is my very favorite, though...so far.
Okay, as for Mr. X's creepy factor...well, he's a lesser in the BDB world, which means he's soulless. He has pale skin and pale eyes - think albino. He's the Fore-lesser, which means he's the leader of the Lessening Society. The lessers are out to destroy the vampires. But Mr. X also gets his kicks by killing prostitutes with an overdose of heroine, which tends to draw out civilian vampires. (fyi, all lessers refrain from eating and drinking, they are impotent, and the smell like baby powder)
It's been awhile since I read these books. I have no quotes but I can say that Mr. X is creepy in his actions. The pleasure he derives from the actions he takes really creeped me out. Plus, thinking about the way he looks and smells...yeah, creepy.
I recommend the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. It's a different take on vampires, the vampires are HOT, and so is the sexy. :)
