Monsters with a taste
for children are nothing new, but fairy tales never mentioned this
nightmarish predator. Rue has her hands full tracking the creature
hunting the streets of Charleston, but a call from home divides her
attention—and her loyalties.
A stranger has come to Hollis
Apothecary, asking questions that prickle the hairs on her nape, but she
can’t abandon the victims based only on a bad feeling. The pit in her
stomach only grows when the stranger takes a hostage and makes his
demands. He wants to talk to Rue, face to face. Or else. What he has to
say will change her life, and her perception of her past, forever.
Black Wings, Gray Skies, by author Hailey Edwards, is the Fourth installment in the authors Black Hat Bureau series. Rue Hollis has been lured back into the Black Hat Bureau by her grandfather who wants her to become his heir. As the story begins, Rue and her fellow agents, her best friend and mentor Clay the golem, her love interest Asa, the dae prince and of course her familiar Colby are on assignment in Charlotte S.C. searching for the paranormal or paranormals preying upon and brutally killing little human boys.
Unfortunately, Rue is in full on fascination with Asa which is causing the former Black Witch to experience and express all sorts of emotions she’s not familiar with nor comfortable expressing. Due to the fascination, any time anyone verbally insults or threatens harm to Asa, Rue goes full on mama bear on them. While the team is hunting the murder suspect, Rue is dealing with her feelings for Asa, she realizes someone is quietly attacking Colby.
Back home, someone has been stopping by Rue's Hollis Apothecary, and it appears this person is a very powerful black witch. Rue fears her human employees because of her may again be in danger. I was almost as shocked as Rue was to discover who the black witch was. It's painful to see how much damage her grandfather caused her while raising her to be the best black witch she could be, but even if she is very hard on herself most of the time, she is a good person.
Rue also has to deal with a grimoire with its own mind, as well as a rogue witch who seems to be trying to destroy the Black Hat Bureau. Will be interesting to see how that story progresses.
