Fresh Fiction Review

Fantasy

Madeline Black is back! She's been stripped of her wings but she's still fighting. After killing Azazel she had thought his experiments with vampires had come to an end. Little did she know that Chicago would soon become a BLACK CITY, infested by vampires immune to the suns effects and on a rampage. The situation only becomes worse when the leader of this enormous band of vamps demands that she turn herself over to him and in the process turning the humans she has sworn to protect against her and her friends. As if that's not enough her friends need her help with one thing or another. Samiel has them racing to rescue Chloe. Nathanial has a secret and it's about to come out surprising himself as well as everyone else. J.B. is in trouble and on top of that grandfather (Lucifer himself) asks for a favor. Well not exactly asks more like gives her no choice and she meets up with a couple of his brothers. Oh yes and Sokolov wants her... preferably dead. BLACK CITY is the butt kicking continuation of the Black Wing Novels. It's fast paced with intriguing twists that keep the reader enthralled right to the last page and wanting more. Some readers might not agree with the author's [Christina Henry] way she has Maddy evolving or completely with her romantic life, but we are more than willing to hold on for the ride. Here's to hoping for many more books with Maddy defending us hapless humans.

SUMMARY

Former Agent of death Madeline Black may have been stripped of her wings—but she hasn’t lost her purpose… When Maddy finally killed her father, Azazel, she thought his depraved experiment died with him. But now Chicago has been infested with vampires immune to the effects of the sun, and the bloodbath is worse than she could have ever imagined. While the Agency refuses to interfere with other supernatural courts, Maddy is determined to do everything within her power to save her city—wings or no wings. But when the leader of the vampires requests that she turn herself in or risk more deaths, Maddy becomes a target for the very people she’s trying to save. Left with no other choice, she turns to Lucifer, the one creature who has the power to help her. But her grandfather’s aid has always come at a price…
