From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Her Black Heart (The Dark Amulet, #2) . . .
Abaddon has returned this time his eyes were set on another of worlds wrongly murdered females. I have to say this seems like his hands may have more work to do. Julia had this amulet since early childhood. Of course being that it belonged to Abaddon at some point and was meant to change ones heart. It did its job up to a point. With all the years Julia had the amulet the one thing it was meant to do it did not do completely. There was still something good within her.
Ra'zael was not your typical hottie. He was a fallen angel. One sexy, hot angel that fell, quite literally, for the wrong woman. He has been given the opportunity to redeem himself and gain his wings back. But of course it involves another woman. Not good for him. This woman stirs things within him. This woman makes him feel again.

This was another read from Norris in her Dark Amulet series that has captured my imagination and engaged my senses.
Looking for more than just another paranormal romance. Looking for more than just another start with another ending. Looking for satisfying, mind engaging, page turning reading enjoyment with hints of mystery. Then I must recommend this read as a read for you to enjoy. I would state pick up book one first so that you can truly engross yourself within this vibrant world. I got what I was looking for and more. The more made it so worth it.

Julia Dunham is a monster. Her heart
has been consumed by an amulet meant to create terror…
As a young girl, Julia received an
amulet tainted by Abaddon, the Supreme Demon of the Netherworld, and the sigil
slowly corrupts her heart. The power of the deceptive pendant gains the
attention of her former employer, Maurice. He sends thugs to murder Julia and
steal the amulet.
Immediately upon her death, Abaddon
traps her on Earth, leaving her obsessed with retrieving the amulet. Julia must
find a way to overcome her deadly obsession or be responsible for unleashing
thousands of demons on humanity.
Ra’zael the Guardian fell for the
wrong girl and lost his wings. He isn’t about to let it happen again…
Ra’zael is tasked with the mission of
helping Julia overcome her compulsion to locate the amulet, though he’s
reluctant to get involved. But as a fallen angel, he doesn’t have much
choice—it’s the only way to earn back his wings. His fall from grace is still
fresh in his mind, but despite his best effort, his passion for Julia can’t be
ignored. He has to save her from herself.
Julia must make her own choices.
Redeem herself or condemn Earth and her soul forever…
Despite Ra’zael’s warnings, Julia
tracks Maurice and the amulet to Chicago. She has every reason to kill Maurice.
He murdered her. He stole from her. Spending eternity in the Netherworld might
be worth watching him die.
Ra’zael knows she still has goodness
left inside her…he’s seen it. Julia just has to find it and fight the evil
of… Her Black Heart.
“What am I going to
do with you?” he’d said.
Julia could think of
a lot of things Raz could do to her. “You can do anything you want to me.”
Ra’zael smiled and looked
heavenward. A heady chuckle left his throat. “Anything? You may want to
reconsider that statement.”
All sorts of
scenarios danced around inside her mind, things involving rope and leather.
Fantasies, yes, but fun to think about. “Uhhh…”
“Yeah, that’s what I
thought.” The angel laughed quietly. She eased back into the seat and decided
to change the subject; after all, he’d just taken her virginity. No sense in
being greedy.
“Why are your wings
gray?” she asked. “Do you have Abaddon’s poison in you?”
“Taint. I never
allowed him to kiss me, and as far as I know he didn’t.” He shrugged. “Wings
get dingy for lots of reasons. Probably because I was in Netherworld so long. I
did bad shit.”
“Yeah, but to bad
people, right?”
“Mostly.”
“Like what?”
Raz made an
aggravated sounding growl. “Arghh…Julia. What’s this obsession you have with
wanting to know the specifics? I thought I was a demon and acted accordingly.”
“Just curious.” She
shoved her hands inside the front pouch pocket of her sweatshirt. The wad of
cash from the Demon Ruler burned her palms. Julia took deep breaths as guilt
panged her black heart. She focused on Raz’s chest and tried to match his
breathing pattern—steady and rhythmic. Only his inhales and exhales were too
long and the train car started spinning.
“You all right?”
Her head bobbled.
“Hm…wha…”
“I asked if you were
all right.”
“F-Fine…don’t I
l-look all righ…” Julia’s words slurred and trailed off.
She woke up cradled
in his arms. For someone who didn’t like to be touched, he certainly did a lot
of touching. Not being able to resist, she reached up with her hand to cup his
cheek. He veered his head away.
“Don’t,” he snapped.
Her bottom lip
quivered. Why did she care? She was a monster.
He looked over his
shoulder at the chair next to him. “Sorry,” he mumbled.
“What was that…that
sounded like an apology,” Julia said softly. He guided her head to his chest
and she sighed.
“What’s going to
happen after we find the amulet?” My amulet.
“What do you mean?”
he asked and relaxed his head back on the seat. “Let’s worry about getting the
necklace back first then we’ll talk afterward.”
I can’t talk later; I
have to kill you.
