This post I am doing a little different, as I need to catch up on some of my reviews. These are books number two, three, and four in the this series. Each continues off from the previous, telling the events/story of Madeline Black, Agent of Death and daughter of Lucifer, making her half human, and half ... well, some would say Fallen.
Book Two concentrates on a mission that Lucifer has for her as an Ambassador to the realm of Faerie. At the time, though, her would-be lover, Gabriel and her pet gargoyle, Beezle, have disappeared, leaving Madeline desperate to locate them at any cost, even if it means upsetting the Queen of the Faerie Court.
Book Three, BLACK HOWL, ghosts in Chicago are acting in erratic, weird ways, and J.B., Madeline's boss at the Agency, wants her to find out why. To complicate things, Gabriel has now been assigned to her as a thrall, creating multiple personal conflicts. Without giving out any spoilers, I was a bit surprised by this ending.
Book Four, BLACK LAMENT, there is no way to really go into this one without spoilers from book three. Madeline is grieving ... and pregnant. Lucifer is trying to lay claim to her child, which she will keep from Lucifer's machinations as much as possible. At the same time, the Agency is treating her weirdly, as this book concentrates on her employment, and its problems. They should know that Maddy refuses to do things the easy way at times.
Currently I am reading book five, and book six is also out. For a sort of paranormal romance series, it isn't too bad. There is the love triangles,etc, but no descriptive sex scenes that go on for pages. Christina Henry has done a good job of creating an on-going story that has kept me wondering what each new novel will bring for the main characters.
