Sabina Kane Read-A-Long (2) - The Mage in Black

Sabina Kane Read-A-Long!

This is the second discussion in the Sabina Kane Read-A-Long hosted by myself, Jennifer from The Book Nympho, and Jenese from Readers Confession!

Today we're discussing book two in the series, THE MAGE IN BLACK by series author Jaye Wells. You can find my review of the book HERE.

*SPOILERS!*

Quick recap:

• Sabina has headed to New York with Adam to meet her long lost twin, Maisie.

• She meets her incredibly nice sister, who is just a little more friendly and girly than Sabina is, as well as Adam's aunt Rhea, her assistant Damara, and their 'leader' Orpheus.

• Sabina reconnects with vampire and ex-partner Slade, who is now known as The Shade and runs  demon fights out of the basement of his club.

• We meet the Lone Wolf werewolf pack, headed up by Michael Romulous. Even though Sabina and him meet on less than stellar terms, they end up becoming allies.

• Rhea and Maisie believe from Maisie's visions that Sabina is The Chosen One, the reembodiment of Lilith who will help unite the dark races

• We learn a little more about the Caste of Nod, who apparently have Sabina's Dominae grandmother Lavinia in their pocket and seem to have it out for Sabina.

• Sabina kills a Fae member of the Caste in self defense, runs away from the mages, has sexy times with Slade, and escapes a murder attempt by Damara.

• Sabina, Adam, Maisie, and the werewolves fight a slew of vampires and demons back at mage headquarters. After the fight it is discovered that they have kidnapped Maisie and taken her back to Livina.

Now...let's discuss!

2. Aw, sweet demon love...do you like new addition, Valva?

3. How do you expect Sabina's mage abilities to develop in future books? Do you think she'll become more powerful than the other mages?

4. What's up with the owl, Stryx? 

5. What do you think of Slade (and his tryst with Sabina...) and do you think we'll see him in the future?

6. Can Orpheus be trusted?

Alright, chat it up!
