BLACK CITY is the darkest of all the books so far in the Black Wings Series. Maddy has lost her husband, she’s pregnant, and people are trying to kill her at every turn. With the vampires on the loose in her city people are dying left and right and Maddy jumps right in hoping to save people. A lot happens in BLACK CITY, it's packed full of action, emotion and sticky situations.
Maddy is a bit of a mess. She has taken to putting herself in extremely dangerous situations against other people’s advice. She seems to be turning romantically to someone I really don't want her to be with, but surprisingly is the only one sticking by her side. The emotion in book 5 left me a tad bit depressed to tell you the truth but I could not put the book down. By the end of BLACK CITY all of Maddie's friends have left her. I never thought that would happen and it was a bit of a shock to see them all turn their backs on her. I have no clue how Christina will bring them all back together. If you are a fan of the series you can’t NOT read BLACK CITY. I honestly can't think of anything else to say as I'm a bit shell shocked. Wow yeah that is all go read it.

This is book five in this series.
I am still enjoying this story, however I do not like, nor agree with the romantic turn of events.

I don't see that Nathaniel has changed that much from who he was at the beginning of this series, and the Maddy that Henry has created would not fall for that kind of man. Like ever! I was so hoping that she would figure out a way to bring Gabriel back. I mean after all, she brought Evangeline back, right?slc333's review

I found this disappointing for a couple of reasons. The first being the way all Maddy's friends basically desert her. I was epsecially PO about Beezle. He supposedly loves Maddy and is her family yet he does nothing but carp and criticise and then abandon her. I agree that Maddy is having flashes of 'dark side' behaviour but given all that has happened to her (none of which was her fault) and what she has had to do to survive it is understandable. I also dislike the developments in her relationship with Nathan. It is much to soon after Gabriel and he was a mega jerk who tried to rape her at one point. yes he is changing and has been the only one to stand by her but I still found it really off-putting and not at all romantic or sexy. While mildly curious to see where things go I am not sure I care enough to read the next instalment. May have to check out the reviews to see if it is worthwhile.

Why do people complain when the person who is always saving their lives becomes even more ruthless? Especially when the enemy will give no quarter? I would love to have someone care for me so much that they would do some real heartless shit to protect and/or save me. I'm sorry for Maddy, who always has to deal with people second guessing her, and then blaming her for their own short comings . smh.

Great book, so much happened, and yeah, it was so enjoyable, well, besides the shadows and darkness that are influencing her decisions and actions!

Absolutely loved reading this book! Still lots of enemies, and plots, and these characters! Loved it, and that ending, I need to read more of this series now!

A good instalment in the Black Wings series - although I wish Madeleine wasn't going dark side so quickly. With the arrival of Lucifer's brother - things will be getting interesting quickly.

The only reason this book is even getting 2 stars, is because for about the first half of the book it was actually kind of enjoyable; So much so that I thought about finishing the series, but then it got to a point where the bullshit happens. A month ago she wanted to murder Nathaniel just looking at him, now she wants to jump his bones? Fuck that! Madeline continues her childish temper tantrums and doesn't listen to anyone. She just does whatever she feels like in the moment. I can honestly say it's great to see her go. I am officially done with this series. I've read through the books I wasted my money on, and can now move on to something hopefully better. Goodbye Maddy Black, it was nice dreaming of your potential, yet miserable to watch you piss away any and all character development.
