Oh no, the end, now I am sad :/ I am happy that it ended well, cos I do know those series that just goes on and on. But it's always hard to say goodbye.
Maddy has grown, I was pretty proud of her in this one. Sure she still wants to save everyone, but she has a good head on her shoulders.
I will miss the gang! JB, Beezel the best gargoyle side-kick in the world!, Lucifer because even though he makes her life hell he is still a such a good baddie, his brothers cos they are evil and good, Nathaniel who I did not like at all at first but now yes I want them happy and together.
The book is about the big wedding, yes Lucifer is getting married to a psycho. And everyone is invited. But Maddy's life is not easy, someone is trying to kill her, what is Aleran up to? Why must she go to the wedding (cos Lucifer sucks)? And of course there is the whole I am preggers and might give birth any second thing.
Again, sad that it ended but it was been a fun ride :)

Way, way more fluff of an endgame than I was expecting. Not my speed. But. Delightful all the same.

BLACK HEART left Madeline without some of her allies and thankfully BLACK SPRING brings them all back together for the birth of Madeline's baby and the final showdown with Lucifer.
I have for the most part always enjoyed Madeline as a character, I don't really have much more to add about her that I haven't already said in previous reviews. She does a great job of keeping her baby safe in BLACK SPRING though. I was never a Nathaniel fan, but he has come a long way since we first met him and I don't despise him like I used to. Beezle is the perfect little sidekick. Love Daharan, I wish he came into the series sooner. I always liked J.B. and wish there would have been something a little more between him and Madeline, but I can totally respect them being just friends. Poor Samiel suffers a great loss in book 7, I am glad he was back with Maddy and the rest of the gang when it happened. Jude, not much to say about him, but he kicks butt and I'm glad Madeline has him on her side.
Now for the bad guys. I always knew Lucifer had ulterior motives, but never really understood what they were. He really is a piece of work and deserves everything he gets in BLACK SPRING and in his new future. Puck, ugh what more is there to say about him? I have always thought that everything he does is for his own gain even when others think its for them, BLACK SPRING proved I was right.
I'm not going to lie, after the last book I didn't think Henry was going to be able pull off a great ending for this series, but she did! I felt like Madeline was in a good place with great friends surrounding her. I also felt like Henry did a good job of ending the current storyline while leaving some things open for interpretation or maybe more books in the future? Who knows, one can only hope. Except for a few bumps in the road I really enjoyed the Black Wings series and I'm glad I've been able to follow it along as it was written. All urban fantasy fans should pick up BLACK WINGS.

Well, that is the ending of the "Black Wings" series and it was mostly satisfactory. I think Henry poked a little fun at all the supernatural beings and their agendas with how she wrapped it all up.
Spoiler
I was, however, never completely convinced of Maddy's love for Nathaniel. It just never sat right with me that the once-in-a-lifetime soulmate she had in Gabriel could be replaced. That kind of love cannot be replaced or overridden or forgotten, in my most humble opinion.kstep1805's review against another edition

I was really looking for something more to end the series. There were all these threads in the story and they all just wrapped up.

All Madeline Black wants is to be left in peace. Really. Unfortunately, life – and the powers that be? – have other ideas. We start Black Spring with a mundane scene: waking up and taking the dogs out for a walk. It’s not mundane for long though, as visitors (everybody and their uncle!) start popping by, including an imposter. One that walks, talks, and even smells like the original…
Before you know it, Maddy’s embroiled in another plot to take over the world. Only question is, who’s doing the scheming? And how can she stop them? Don’t the bad guys realize she’s pregnant? How inconsiderate of them to make her go traipsing around fighting creatures in the streets when she’s lugging a bowling ball in her mid-section?
Actually, I’m impressed as heck that Maddy gets as much accomplished as she does. When I was pregnant, I could barely remember where my brain was, and here she is saving the world whilst trying to keep herself free from Lucifer’s influence. Oh yeah, the horror that family can be. *shudder*
The plot in Black Spring is not predictable by any means, though we’d almost expect it due to this being the series finale. There are surprises aplenty, for both Maddy and us readers. And while the story got a bit confusing and convoluted, I chalk that up to my missing the last couple of books in the reading order instead of any fault on the writer’s part. What I did love was the snark. Y’all know I’m a HUGE fan of snark, right? So you won’t be surprised that Beezle is one of my favorite characters in the series. Maddy herself can put it out there like the best of them, but Beezle wins, hands down. All. The. Time.
So. If you haven’t read this series, read on for the giveaway, because you should – especially if you like your urban fantasy wrapped around the everlasting theme of good vs. evil, populated by angels and beings older than time, where romance is in the air, and of course, the heroine is awesomely sassy.
drey’s rating: Excellent!

Even though I really wanted Maddie to end up with JB rather than Nathaniel, this was a fantastic ending to the story

Every single time I open a book in this series I think "Man, what will Maddie get into this time?". Then every single time I start reading it never fails that there is always an adventure to be had with the characters. This one was a little bitter sweet though because it is the very last one ever in the series. Let me just say that I am going to miss this series and its characters and I will most definitely have to read these again so that I can have my Beezle fix!
I will say that trouble doesn't stay away from Maddie but in this book there wasn't as much action as some of the others. Maybe because it was coming to an end and they needed to stop but I like when there is the non-stop, action packed storyline. Don't get me wrong though because I still loved every single bit of this book! The ending was just about the most perfect way that Christina could've ended this rollercoaster of ride, in my opinion. This series will always stay one of my top favorite series and I can't wait to see what else Christina Henry has in store.
This book was purchased and is an original http://bookedandloaded.com review. It is also the last in the series and it is not really a stand alone book. If you don't read the others then it could be confusing.
I give this book 5 Bullets

Another wonderful installment. This time Maddy has to face off with Alerian and Lucifer at the same time, while being heavily pregnant. How she managed to get out of trouble without blowing anything up, is beyond me. I wonder what's going to happen in the next book, since she's kicked everyone's ass again. #TeamMaddie

Great book, great ending to the series, I do wish we could've had more, there was a thread or two that having read this series back to back, I noticed wasn't resolved, or that I wanted to have just a little bit more. But great book!
*First read August 18th, 2016*
I absolutely loved reading this book! It was fantastic, and so enjoyable, such a great end to the series (though I kinda wish it would never end!) Loved it, and I have to check out her other books!
