More About This Book

Overview

Madeline Black is an Agent of death, meaning she escorts the souls of people who have died to the afterlife. Of course, not everyone is happy to see her...

If obstinate dead people were all that Maddy had to worry about, life would be much easier. But the best-laid plans of Agents and fallen angels often go awry. Deaths are occurring contrary to the natural order, Maddy's being stalked by foes inside and outside of her family, and her two loves-her bodyguard, Gabriel, and her doughnut-loving gargoyle, Beezle-have disappeared. But because Maddy is Lucifer's granddaughter, things are expected of her, things like delicate diplomatic missions to other realms.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Henry stalls out in the urban fantasy sequel to 2010's Black Wings. Maddy Black, an agent of death, is adjusting to having a heartstone rather than a heart, and her boss, JB, seems to have mellowed a little. Otherwise, life goes on as it has—she's broke, her (unpaid) job is frustrating, and she has a knack for discovering gruesome dismemberments. This time the victim's a werewolf whose murder is at first glance merely troubling. The subsequent disappearance of Gabriel, Maddy's bodyguard, and Beezle, her gargoyle companion, may be connected to the killing, the people trying to assassinate Maddy, or both. In the middle of everything, Lucifer commands Maddy to be his ambassador to the faerie court, the previous ambassador having been beheaded. The pace is breathless, but those who hoped for development in the characters or Henry's imaginative world will be disappointed. (Aug.)
Library Journal
As Lucifer's granddaughter, Madeline Black is an agent of Death, escorting souls to the afterlife. Caught between warring lovers and charged with a mission to Faerie, Maddy walks a dangerous tightrope. This sequel to Black Wings will attract fans of J.R. Ward's "Fallen Angels" series and Thomas Sniegoski's "Remy Chandler" series.

    Entertaining - Highly recommend!

    I noticed that there are a lot of mixed reviews for both Black Wings and Black Night. I rated the first installment four stars, and I think this installment was equally as good, if not better, and I finished reading it in a couple of days. I think readers are torn due to the quirky personality of the heroine, and some of the off-beat comments she makes. So, either you like her or you don't. I, on one hand, find her interactions with other characters amusing, and I did find myself laughing every once in a while at her internal monologue and thoughts. On the other hand, I did not like the main character of Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series. I found her "quirky" personality annoying, and therefore did not like the book. I think it depends on your sense of humor. In this second installment, Madeline Black visits the Faerie Court, encounters a few werewolves and other demonic creatures. The main focus, however, still revolves around fallen angels and their hierarchy. One thing that annoyed me were the many fight scenes she encounters. It seemed rather repetitive, and between this installment and the first, she gets saved a lot by Gabriel's and Nathaniel's healing powers. There is some character development though, and the heroine becomes more independent. Black Wings is light on the Madeline/Gabriel interaction this time around, but you are introduced to a handful of other characters. Highly recommend!

    Mesmerizing Sequel

    I strongly suggest you read the previous book in the series (Black Wings) prior to reading this installment.

    What a fabulous read! If I thought I adored the first book, I fell completely head-over-heels with this sequel.

    The heroine is strong, smart and powerful in her own right. I love that she is Lucifer's granddaughter. The author really put a new and fresh spin on a genre going stale. There were sensitive issues to deal with in this installment and they were done admirably and delicately. The story was one wild ride after another that I never wanted this book to end.

    I highly recommend his book to fellow dark urban fantasy readers and can't wait for the next book Black Howl due out 2/28/2012.

    Loved it

    Well developed characters, great dialogue, and a breathtaking pace. This book did not disappoint. Main character continues to kick butt despite herself and uses that fantastic brain of hers to get herself out of some touchy situations. Can't wait till book 3!

    Highly Recommended

    If you liked the "Black Wings" you will love "Black Night". This story advances the over all arch of the series and helps to expand the noteable characters stories. This one throws lots of intrigue at you. Pleanty of plot twists to keep guessing.

    The second Agent of Death urban fantasy is a fabulous investigative thriller

    Agent of Death, Madeline Black guides souls as the deceased pass from one existence to the next. Maddy is notified where and when to provide her service, but recently Chicago has been hit with unscheduled gruesome homicides of werewolves that are outside of the normal celestial pact.

    Maddy, her friend Beezle the donut eating gargoyle and her daddy assigned bodyguard Gabriel investigate. They learn that the son of a dead nephilim seeks revenge against the Agent of death who killed his parent. As Maddy hunts this Samiel, her two companions vanish. Complicating life for Maddy in her search for her friends is her paternal grandfather who demands she negotiate a new deal for his clan with the fae. The last Fallen Angel sent by Lucifer to the Fairy Court literally lost his head.

    The second Agent of Death urban fantasy (see Black Wings) is a fabulous investigative thriller; as the heroine finds out that sometimes you get what you wish for now that she knows her dad is neither dead nor a deadbeat. The fulfillment has second and third order effects with the rise of new enemies as Lucifer's foes use original sin against her. Filled with action fans will enjoy touring Chicago as Christina Henry provides a dark joyride with the donut munching Beezle providing jocularity before he vanishes.

    I read the first book and it was wonderful. of course I love vampire novels so that was what caught my attention but after the first couple pages I could not put the book down. I read the whole first book in a matter of hours. Can not wait until this one is released... waiting impatiently :)
