But will there actually be a book for Tohrment? I was thinking the same about how I didn't want Wellsie to die, but then I read AngieW's interview with JR Ward, and she writes:

My publisher has purchased six books so far and here's the order: Wrath, Rhage, Zsadist, Vishous, Butch (yes, Butch gets his own book!) and Phury. There are four more thereafter in my head and then some subspecies in the world I would love to explore.

... so it could go either way!
