Quentin Black: Shadow Wars
2 primary works
Book 1
"He'd be fresh meat here. And he didn't have his sight."
Miri's not thrilled when Black takes a new consulting gig with the LAPD.
Despite her lingering fears after what happened to him during the last murder case he worked, he assures her it's routine, that he won't be doing fieldwork, that nothing could possibly go wrong.
Then, during his first night on the job, at a stake-out on the Port of Los Angeles, everything goes horribly, horribly wrong.
Black wakes up in his worst nightmare, with no idea how he got there. Robbed of his psychic sight, he can't even call to Miri for help, or use his abilities to figure out where he is, who took him, or what they want from him.
On the outside, Miri is frantic.
She has even less information than Black--until a confession from her Uncle Charles brings her face to face with a much older enemy, one that may have killed her entire family.
*Warning: this book contains difficult material.*

Book 2
I thought I knew what angry looked like on Black before all this. I didn't.
Black takes Miri with him to New York.
There, he thrusts her into a world of Wall Street, talk shows, fancy dinner parties with rich douchebags, and being hounded by paparazzi.
Although he's playing the part of smirking Wall Street pirate, all of this is camouflage for his new business venture--which, as far as Miri can tell, consists of hunting down and killing every vampire in existence on Earth.
Mostly, however, Black wants Brick.
He flat-out won't stop until he's cut the head or heart from the vampire king who put him in that prison in Louisiana.
Alarmed by the changes she sees in him, Miri grows increasingly worried at the lengths he's willing to go to exact his revenge.
When a series of terrorist attacks appear to have Black at their center, she starts to wonder who is hunting whom, whether Black is baiting the vampires into a confrontation or Brick is manipulating him once again for his own twisted purposes.
