I do like this series and when I finished the book I dove for the internet at once to find out when the next book is coming out. The fall! Woe me!
The writing has also gotten better with each book, book 1 was a bit, eh, the story awesome but it had some problems. The only problem this book had was a conversation that was a bit silly in the middle of the book. But who cares, cos the rest is kick-ass.
Maddy is being hunted by the Agency since she left then. She and Nathaniel got down and dirty (mixed feelings about that. She met her third uncle and revelations were made in the last that has an impact here. To protect her she is sent far away and gets into trouble. But she also meets someone whom I liked.
She kicks more ass. She learns a few secrets and something big happens and I got mad. Arghhh, evilness going on. The pace is good and something is always going on. Just too bad Lucifer was so busy with his baby mama, cos he is always cool to read about.
I can't wait for more

A fun read. But. This is getting a bit not my thing as it progresses. Good at what it does, just not my thing.

I gave it 3.5 stars
BLACK HEART was not my favorite Black Wings Series installment. I still love the characters, the story line still keeps me reading but there just felt like something was missing in BLACK HEART. Maybe it was the absence of Maddy's allies? The absence of Beezle's comic relief? The way that a big majority took place on an unknown planet with Maddy pretty much by herself? I don't know. It was just missing something and by the time I felt like I was finally getting into everything again the book was over.
Is it just me or does this pregnancy feel like it is going WAY too slow? I guess we get a little bump in BLACK HEART but with all the stuff that has happened you would think more time has passed. How many books is she going to be pregnant for? I must say I really liked the introduction of Daharan, Lucifer's oldest brother and Maddy's Uncle. I loved how he protected her and was by her side when she needed him unlike others that will not be named. I also liked that no matter how scared other people were of him that Maddy wasn't and he didn't try to scare her. I just know I will continue liking him in future books. I still don't know how I feel about Nathaniel. I start liking him and then I'm reminded what he was like in the beginning or how Maddy is pregnant with Gabriel's baby. I just can't wrap my head around him or their relationship yet. Maybe in book 7.
A huge battle is brewing and with Maddy still pretty much in hiding and dodging trouble at every turn I am not sure how long it will take for us to get there. I'm not sure Maddy can continue going at the pace she has been, I mean really she is pregnant how is she still fighting like she is? Many questions, need answers, how can I not read more!

I have become completely attached to Maddy Black, but am still upset over the loss of Gabriel. I am still not convinced that Nathaniel is a worthy substitute.
One more to go . . .

This book didn’t seem very important to the overall story arc. It was a fast read so that makes this a little less disappointing.

I do always love when a female protagonist morphs into a total badass. This may have been my favorite one in the series. All hail Maddy Black.

Great read, and Maddy has to make conscious decisions about the darkness inside her. And so much happens, I just want more!
*First read August 17th, 2016*
This book was so fantastic! Yeah that it picks up after that cliffhanger ending, and yeah, so great to read! I can't wait to read the final book!

Some interesting developments in this instalment of the Black Wings saga. It should be interesting to see how Henry moves forward with Madeleine Black.

DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW. THIS IS A CONDENSED VERSION OF THE WHOLE STORY TO REMIND ME WHAT HAPPENED WHEN BOOK #7 COMES OUT!!! COMPLETE AND TOTAL SPOILERS AHEAD.
Story opens up the Retrievers surrounding the house trying to get to Maddy. Nathaniel opens a portal and shoves her through to escape.
Maddy find herself in some bizarre place where there is nothing edible and the water houses malevolent sprites/spirits. While sleeping in a tree Maddy is shot with an arrow and taken captive by what appear to be fae. While being questioned they, these local creatures, come under attack by the grasshopper looking creatures that Maddy ran across in Chicago before the Vampire attack. Maddy aids the fae and they take out the crickets.
Going back to the questioning, the king tells Maddy of the crickets sudden appearance and subsequent attacks. Maddy wants to go after the crickets convinced that they are "practicing" for an attack on her world. The king doesn't trust Maddy and want her imprisoned. Rather than do that the king's son helps her escape as long as she promises to take out the ALL of the crickets.
On the way to the cricket part of the forest, Maddy encounters, for the second time, the dragon that seems to live in the forest. Maddy feels a strong kinship towards the dragon, but the king's son is fearful...it was in his fear that Maddy discovers it's really Puck and not the king's son. Puck promises to relive Maddy of one of her obligations to him in return for taking out the crickets. She does.
After killing the crickets Maddy discovers that the dragon is really Puck's, Alerian's and Lucifer's elder brother! Which is why Puck was so fearful...he's intimidated by Daharan. Uncle D offers Maddy some food and rest before he offers to deliver her to the obscure little island where the only portal remains.
Once at the portal, Daharan explains that this portal goes through to the land of the dead and from there they will go to another portal that will deliver her home. While in the land of the dead Uncle D allows for Maddy to spend time with Gabriel. Uncle D felt sorry for how Gabriel was ripped away from and how soon it happened after they had found each other.
They finally find the portal back home and arrive to discover her house was destroyed and 3 months have passed. Beezle find her and Uncle D and explains what happened during the time she was gone and that is that the agency falsified records to show Maddy was dead so her friends have been in mourning.
Once everyone is situated at JB's the building is blown up and Nataniel's brother is abducted. When they discover where Bendith is and show up to rescue him that building blows up, but Maddy was able to throw shield up to protect her, JB and Nathaniel, but Bendith dies. And Bendith's Mommy Titania is going to be gunning for Maddy since she's been framed for the job.
Titania meets up the Maddy over the middle of Lake Michigan and Maddy tries to reason with her but Titania will have nothing to do with it. So in a battle to the death, Maddy taps into all of Lucifer's power and ends up shoving Titania through a portal onto a desolate, far removed, little planet that can take the magical blow back that will occur with Titania's death.
Maddy starts home only to be met by 3 Agency agents...who insist she goes with them or they will call in the Retrievers. Knowing full well the power at her disposal she tells them to bring on the retrievers. 3 show up only to be tamed and removed from bondage by Maddy. She names her new little pets Lock, Stock, and Barrel and takes them home with her.
When she stops what what used to be the smoking crevase that was her home she sees it's been fully restored by Uncle D. He is the one that says magic can create as well as destroy. Uncle D has been able to ferret out what was really going on. And it turns out Puck was behind the whole thing because he was bound to Titania...the only way to be released from her servitude was for Titania to die, which he manipulated and tricked Maddy into doing. Needless to say she was PISSED and since Puck had made a point of imprinting his magic onto her while they were tracking the crickets, she couldn't kill him like she wished to.
