Description:
Sabina Kane doesn't have the best track record
when it comes to family. After all, her own grandmother, the leader of the
vampire race, just tried to kill her. When she arrives in New York to meet the
mage side of her family, the reunion takes the fun out of dysfunctional.
On top of that, the Hekate Council wants to use her as a pawn in the brewing war against the vampires. Her mission will take her into the bowels of New York's Black Light district, entangles her in mage politics, and challenges her beliefs about the race she was raised to distrust. And Sabina thought vampires were bloodthirsty.

Review:
The
Mage in Black by Jaye Wells
5 out of 5
This fast pace book picks right back up where
the 1st one left off.
Literally, they are in the car on the way to New York…
Sabina: May
I just vent just an itty-bitty bit? Can
I just say that Sabina is the BIGGEST idiot in the whole wide world! WTH!
Slade is ok, but why waste your time when you have a yummy Adam Lazarus
there willing to break all the rules for YOU?
Ugh! And she sure as hell should
feel guilty! Uber guilty.
Anyways,
besides that, I do like Sabina. She is a
strong character that has been wounded and betrayed multiple times. And as such
she is slow to trust. This whole book is
about Sabina getting to know herself, learning about her other side of her
family and discovering what really matters in life.
I
love how Maisey is the polar opposite twin.
But she was reminded me slightly of Vinka… Sweet, gentle and a bit too
Naïve. I thought it was interesting on
how different she was to Sabina. It did
give an interesting idea/twist to the “Nature vs. Nurture” debate.
Rhea
is a really cool older mage. She is strong willed, has a wicked sense of humor,
and at times was a real bitch… Definitely loved her. Laughed so hard when she asked Giguhl why his
penis was forked… It was too much!
Giguhl
and Volva (not to be confused with vulva!) were some of the funniest (and
horniest) characters What a perfect couple to energize the book with a lot of
laughter.
So
much happened in this book. You meet
werewolves, vampires, and mages. You
read about Demon Fight Club and learn more about the prophecy about
Sabina. Plus, you have to keep guessing
on who is trying to kill Sabina. I mean,
really, how many people could really want her dead? :P
Overall,
this is a great book. Absolutely loved
it and I’m looking forward to reading the next book.
Happy Reading!
