Review: Black of Wing by J.C. Andrijeski by J.C. Andrijeski

Black of Wing by J.C. Andrijeski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Now that Black's identity is no longer secret he is both feared and admired by the various defence contractors and military groups around the world. His own government is breathing down his neck and the seers want him dead for exposing their race to the humans. We can't forget Miri's uncle Charles' seers who all want the vampires dead and humans their slaves. Miri is not thrilled at being given this utter mess and throwing her in front of the media, assassins and in the sights of her Uncle Charle' organisation. Not everyone on the human side of the equation is happy at losing their status as the dominant species and will anything to stop that happening - including wiping out everything living on Earth!

Buckle up - there is a lot happening in this book which was well worth the wait from the previous one in the series. Black was his usual protective alpha male self with a touch of recklessness mixed in, Miri did everything to deal with negotiation between the groups and find a way forward while also coping with Black and his occasional off-plan actions that she sometimes had to rescue him from, while in the middle of all that they still have their wedding outstanding. Charles also proved once again that he deserves the Lucky moniker and both he and his group create some aggravation for both Miri and Black. I loved the conversations with Jem, Nick and the events that happened at the Sunday lunch which was pretty funny and a good insight into more of Nick's personality and their relationship. As for what happened with Dex, wow I'd hate to be the person to make him really angry (even if I think his actions were over the top and completely unnecessary). I sure hope the new character we meet in this story has a role to play in the next book (and maybe be on the right side this time). Well written as always, easy to read and understand and very easy to feel and empathise with the thoughts and emotions of the characters (even if I might not always agree with them). So much happens at times that I recommend going back and re-reading some of it to make sure that you really understood. You need to have read the previous books in the series in order to understand how they got to where they are today. Highly recommended.
