In BLACK HEART, Madeline Black's life and world is still in
turmoil. Despite having saved Chicago from a vampire
invasion, the Agency still wants Maddy off the payroll ...
for ever. They go as far as to send the deadly Retrievers
after her, giving her no option but to allow Nathaniel to
open a port and send her through it.
But the port doesn't lead to a tropical island, where she
can rest and relax but has her caught up in a turf war
between a group of Fae and a somewhat familiar enemy the
Cimice. A turf war caused by her grandfather Lucifer and
his brothers in part of their twisted plots.
As an agent of death, she is use to seeing that souls make
it to where they must go; she isn't use to causing violence
that releases those souls. With the enemies on all sides
Maddy just might have to reach into the darkest part of her
to protect those she loves ... especially her unborn son.
BLACK HEART is a fast paced, spine tingling, adventure ride
that won't let you go till the end. Maddy's life
continues with the chaos that we are use to but there is a
lot of additional facts that come out in this book that
make things clearer. The familiar characters return in this
book with new ones added to round out her "family." I loved
the snappy conversation, especially with Beezle her food
loving gargoyle; the emotional moments when it is believed
she is dead, and the scene with the Retrievers toward the
end. Maddy is one gutsy heroine and Lucifer and his
brothers better watch out because they are forcing her to
evolve into something they just might fear. To be honest
this was not my favorite of author Christina Henry's
Black
Wing Novels but it is still a very good read and with
Maddy
evolving I can't wait to see where she goes from here.
As a former Agent of Death, Madeline Black is no stranger to
witnessing violent ends. But being the one to cause them is
an entirely different story…
Despite her having saved Chicago from a vampire invasion,
the Agency wants to get Maddy off their payroll—permanently.
With the deadly Retrievers hot on her trail, she has no
choice but to trust Nathaniel to port her to safety. But
even the exotic and dangerous world that she winds up in is
not as peaceful as she would have hoped. Caught in a turf
war between a group of fae and a disturbingly familiar foe,
Maddy soon discovers that the twisted plots of her
grandfather, Lucifer, and his brothers extend even into this
unknown realm.
Now, with enemies gathering on all sides, Maddy’s fate is
looking darker than ever. And to protect her unborn son from
her adversaries, she may have to tap into a power she hoped
never to access…
