As an Agent of Death, Madeline Black is responsible for escorting the souls of the dearly departed to the afterlife. Maddy's position may come with magical powers 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 start 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.… (mehr)

Better than some UF books but I can barely remember anything about this book...and thats never a good sign. ( )

I kind of liked this book, I’d say 2 ½ stars, As I read it I just couldn’t stop thinking of other things that I’ve read that used very similar lines and situations. In the beginning I felt that Madeline’s voice sounded so familiar, she sounded almost exactly like Rachael Morgan from the “Hollows Series” A series that I like a lot. Also the small gargoyle Beezle reminds me highly of the “Hollows” Jenks.

"As Katherine died, she performed a binding to protect you from Ramuell, using her own life force as a sacrifice”
Angels, Fallen Angels and monsters this is like a Christian Harry Potter, mother saves her daughter, but gives up her life.

"It's a nightmare the likes of which you have never known. We are on the verge of a real biblical-style apocalypse here."
Who you call Ghostbusters" all we need it the Gatekeeper.

I found the plot a little confusing at times as I tried to remember who sired whom and what type of angel creature they were the angels in this universe are a randy and potent bunch. Someday I’ll give the second book in the series a try to find out if the author finds more of a voice of her own.

This is the first book in a series of six (at the time of this). Madeline Black is a Soul Agent, whose job is to help the near-departed's soul through the Door (which supposedly leads to whatever they are judged for) in order to keep them from remaining as ghosts, to be on the Earth forever. She has wings, but only when she needs them, that can help her hide from nearly everyone's eyesight, plus help her travel to where she is needed faster.

When a tenant appears for the room below her in the small building she owns, she is aware of how handsome this guy, Gabriel, is. It is also where something starts trying to kill her. In order not to ruin anyone's possible reading, I won't include spoilers, but there are demons, angels, several "hunky" guys, and plenty of attitude.

I had received a free copy of book six of the series (BLACK HEART) from NetGalley, and wanted to read the previous books before reading that one. I enjoyed the first book and look forward to the next one. ( )

NOPE! The opening scene completely turned me off of this book. It makes the main character look like a terrible person and a total douchebag to boot. I'm sorry but this kind of thing you just can't win a reader back from. DNF ( )

This is another good new urban fantasy series. There may be many out there, and because of that there is sure something for everyone to enjoy.

What I liked about [a:Christina Henry|3409936|Christina Henry|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-F-50x66.jpg]'s Black Wings is that it took a hold of me at once and would not let go. I wanted to know what happened, I needed to knew what the secrets were and it was just such an enjoyable ride while it lasted. There
was one thing though that was not that good, but in the end it did not matter since I truly liked this book. But for the record...[For the full review please visit here! Thank you!] ( )
