This was so much better than the first one!! I couldn't put this one down and read it from cover to cover in a couple hours.

So far, I'm rooting for JB out of all the men. I love how badass Maddie is. She is her own woman and doesn't let all of the men in her life manipulate her. She keeps getting tossed new curveballs but she stays true to herself at all times. She cares about the others even when it doesn't seem like they return the sentiment. ( )

Thank goodness. This book was SO much better than the first one! ( )

Still a stupid theme, but I found this one much funnier. I laughed out loud all through it. Enjoyed it far better than first one!

Loved this sequel to Black Wings. Our heroine Maddy is up to her eye balls again in intrigue and mysteries. Some one is killing werewolves and it's up to lucifer's grand-daughter to catch a killer, while negotiating with the fairy queen on behalf of Lucifer. As if her to do list isn't crowded enough, Gabriel has disappeared.

One hung I will say about Maddy, she maybe human, but she sure is resilient. Unlike the previous installment, there is less romantic overtures and more testing of Maddy's fortitude . In each trial that she encounters, a new sense of just how much she is of Lucifer's blood line unfolds.

While many questions raised in Black Wings are answered a number of new ones are brought forth. I can't wait for the next installment. ( )

Well, at least Maddie realizes that she's surviving against all odds. The magical threats of Maddie's life are difficult to take seriously, as they're all deadly, all powerful, and undefeated for eons, but Maddie always manages to triumph through happenstance and innate magic. Political threats are the only things that can stymie Maddie, and it was fun to see her behind to hold her own (through a process more involved than chance). By book's end, I was heartily sick of knowledgeable people giving Maddie advice, her doing the exact opposite but surviving anyway, but at the same time, Maddie was starting to sound a bit more savvy and adult. Book three looks like it will be a lot of fun, my fingers are crossed that the entourage will either stop giving, or Maddie will start taking, advice.
