Black Wings
ByPublisher Description
The first novel of the Black Wings urban fantasy series, by Christina Henry, author of Alice and Lost Boy.
As an Agent of Death, Madeline Black is responsible for escorting the souls of the dearly departed to the afterlife. It’s a 24/7 job with a lousy benefits package.
Maddy’s position may come with magical abilities and an impressive wingspan, but it doesn’t pay the bills. And then, there are her infuriating boss, tenant woes, and a cranky, popcorn-loving gargoyle to contend with.
Things starts looking up, though, when tall, dark, and handsome Gabriel Angeloscuro agrees to rent the empty apartment in Maddy’s building. It’s probably just a coincidence that as soon as he moves in, demons appear on the front lawn. But when an unholy monster is unleashed upon the streets of Chicago, Maddy discovers powers she never knew she possessed. Powers linked to a family legacy of tarnished halos.
Powers that place her directly between the light of Heaven, and the fires of Hell…

“I liked this book! I’m in a bit of a book slump, but I enjoyed the premise of this story. I hope she doesn’t end up with Gabriel even tho she *loooooves* him and their love is forbidden. It was too instant. Too meh. Too typical. I hope the writing is better than that and he turns out to be evil or something. Fingers crossed. I like Madeline’s “job” and the idea of collecting souls. I like JB and the surprise love interest. I adore beezle and want my own gargoyle immediately. This was a good entry to the rest of the series, I’ve already started book 2.”

“Liked her other books that stem from classics and wanted to give this series a try. I think we would be awesome friends. Maddy is into all the same pop culture stuff I am. Intriguing twist on reapers and angels. Definitely diving into this series.”Rosibel
