TO BLACK WITH LOVE (Quentin Black Mystery #10) - 5*
Decorated vet and ex-cop Nick Tanaka has been missing since the mess on Koh Mangaan. Black and Miri have been looking for him all over Europe so it appears time to face facts - he is dead - the only question is was it in the fire or did the vampires kill him? Uncle Charles is whipping up a civil war in the US to get the humans to kill all vampires and so when they return to San Francisco they face potential danger from the “Purity Movement” who are starting riots all over the place. Charles continues to pressure them to join him and the vampires are worried too and request an alliance in return for an update on Nick. With all these strands how is it going to progress for Miri and Black and will they find the vampire King's information impossible to resist forming an alliance with him?
This story was a little flow to start as it focused on the search for Nick but it soon transformed into the kind of story I would expect from this author/series. Lots of developments, twists, turns plots, sub-plots and surprises kept hitting me as I read this story. Some I could possibly have predicted, some were very different to how I expected it to develop(in a good way) and gives me the promise of some major developments in future books in this series. As events started to kick off I became more addicted to the story and needed to know what was going to happen next. It was a great ending with some surprises and the promise of some major events in the future. Well written and easy to understand if you have read the previous books in this series you will definitely enjoy this one.
BLACK DREAMS (Quentin Black Mystery #11) - 5*
Miriam's dreams start following her back into the real world, scaring the hell out of her husband, military-trained seer, Quentin Black.
If you have read one or especially both of the Bridge and Sword World and Quentin Black series by this author you will adore this story. It will give you closure on the former and a major development for the latter. I'm struggling with what to write without spoiling this story for the reader, so all I can say is OMG and wow. Well written and clear/easy to understand this can be read even if you are not familiar with the series but you will get so much more from this if you have.
BLACK OF HEARTS (Quentin Black Mystery #12) - 5*
Miri and Black are back to their own version of Earth and have to face the growing race war with very dark implications. He knows that Miri will be targeted by both sides of the conflict when they realise what her new powers are really capable of but in the meantime, it appears that Nick is still missing, they are assuming that Dalejem is dead, the vampire race is preparing for an all-out war, riots are raging in the human population and Miri's seer uncle is still aiming to take over the planet and is locking down the country. Then Black feels it - he is caught and Miri is caught too. When he realises that the separation pain and panic will be enough for him to lose his cool - something they are going to regret. The question is can they find each other and can Miri calm him back down?
OMG - so many interesting events happened in this story that involved all of the races, Black, Miri, Nick and Dalejem in particular. The problem with such a book like this is you can't put it down, you need time to catch up in your mind to all the events as they happened, and you just have a NEED to know what is going to happen next - especially as it felt that it ended on a cliffhanger. Well written and clear/easy to understand, this book was a joy to read and the book pushed the Quentin Black story in an interesting direction that I'm looking forward to reading in the future.
