Black City was a fantastic read., I just kept turning the pages wanting to know what happens next. It is in the point of views of the two main characters Ash and Natalie. The story has a twist that you are just not expecting concerning Natalie and Ash's relationship, which was interesting and refreshing.It had me wondering well where does that leave them at some point. It really puts a question to if your really meant for just one person or not. I liked the darker aspects of the book as well with being in a government that is not really out for the best interest of its people.

A dark and tender post-apocalyptic love story set in the aftermath of a bloody war
In a city where humans and Darklings are now separated by a high wall and tensions between the two races still simmer after a terrible war, sixteen-year-olds Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary, meet and do the unthinkable--they fall in love. Bonded by a mysterious connection that causes Ash's long-dormant heart to beat, Ash and Natalie first deny and then struggle to fight their forbidden feelings for each other, knowing if they're caught, they'll be executed--but their feelings are too strong.
When Ash and Natalie then find themselves at the center of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to pull the humans and Darklings back into war, they must make hard choices that could result in both their deaths.
