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.
