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.
