Mage In Black

Sabina Kane doesn't have the best
track record when it comes to family. After all, her own grandmother, leader of
the vampire race, wants her dead. So when she arrives in New York to meet her
mage relatives, the reunion puts the fun in dysfunctional. Not only is mage
culture completely bizarre, but everyone seems to think she's some kind of
'Chosen' who'll unite the dark races. Sabina doesn't care who chose her, she's
not into destiny. But the mages aren't Sabina's only problem. In New York's
Black Light District, she has run-ins with fighting demons, hostile werewolves
and an opportunistic old flame. Sabina thought she'd take a bite out of the Big
Apple - but it looks like it wants to bite back.(GoodReads)
I’m skeptical when it
comes to vampire books. There’s only so many ways to be creative with a
vampire. However, the first book drew me in and engaged me with unique
characters that stand out from the vampire cliché. That made this a must read
in my eyes.
Our characters are
still wonderfully unique. Sabina is still a badass with a mussy center. If you
can reach the center. This book is more about Sabina and her twin then any
others, so we don’t see much of Adam. We are introduced to a few new
characters, some from Sabina’s past and some that I think will affect her
future. These characters are still just as fun and original as their companions
and it doesn’t take anything away from the story.
The story is just as
fast paced as the first book. There’s no dust in any of the chapters and Ms.
Wells doesn’t waste any words on useless or pointless actions. One chapter
leads into the next. With the smooth flow putting the book down at the end of a
chapter is a hardship.
