A former Agent of death, Madeline Black now has everything to live for, most importantly, her unborn child. But Chicago has become ground zero in a struggle between ancient creatures, and only Maddy can stop the carnage…
The mayor of Chicago has announced a plan to round up the city’s supernatural beings and put them in camps. With her due date looming, Maddy’s best move would be to lay low for a while. But not everyone is willing to respect her privacy. Hounded by tentacled monsters, a rogue shapeshifter, and a tenacious blogger, Maddy turns to her most powerful ally, her uncle Daharan, only to find him missing.
Just when it seems like things can’t get any worse, Maddy gets an invitation in the mail—to Lucifer’s wedding. Turns out everyone has been invited, friends and enemies alike. And with that kind of guest list, it’s highly unlikely there will be a happily ever after.

The heroine in this seventh book in the Black Wings urban fantasy series, Maddy, is pregnant with the child of a lover who is dead, has a popcorn-loving gargoyle sidekick named Beezle, has three dogs that are not dogs, but Retrievers, is in a complicated relationship with the son of an angel and Puck, has a dragonshifter many-greats uncle and is the granddaughter of Lucifer. She is also Lucifer’s Hound of the Hunt. So many interesting characters. There is something bad happening concerning a shapeshifter who appears to want to kill her and hers. Will Maddy survive it all to give birth to her child?
If you like anything about angel and demons, along with other paranormal beasties, stirred into an urban fantasy, this book will do it for you. One word, make sure you read others in the series, so you won’t get lost with who is who in Maddy’s life. I’ve read the series from the beginning, so it made it easy for me. Ms. Henry has given birth to another great read.
