Nikki Glass is a former private eye who suddenly became a
Liberi, a quasi-immortal. Her change to
more than human has required more sacrifices than she expected. He acclimation to the side she has chosen in
a millennium long conflict and her conflicted emotions about being part of a
team are the focus of this second book in a very good series.
I mentioned in my review of Dark Descendant, Niki is a
likeable character. She is not some
invulnerable super hero, she is a volatile, insecure semi-normal person you
might know. She deals with her changed
life with frustration and fear.
As in Dark Descendant, there is plenty of action and emotion
with just a hint of sensuality. This
provides a touch of romanticism that doesn’t deter from a good urban fantasy. This is the second of Ms. Black’s work I have
read and I am looking forward to reading the next in this series. Warning, it may have a little too much
romanticism if you are a flannel shirt, insecure manly man. I, of
course, am typing this while holding my bowie knife in my teeth, a loaded Judge
on my side and kneeling on the throat of a thrashing swamp gator, I ain’t
intimidated by any romantic stuff.
I recommend it.
