Black Bird - A Daniels and Remalla Novel by J. T. Bishop

Black Bird by JT Bishop is a pulse-pounding 10th installment in her thrilling Detectives Daniels and Remalla series. In this nail-biting episode, Daniels and Remalla dive deeper into their investigation of the secretive Black Bird society. Not knowing who to trust, they keep their personal quest to infiltrate the secret society quiet. All while they hunt for the assassin, Rhonda and Margaret Redstone's partner, Winnie. The high-stakes investigation and constant interference by Margaret strain Rem's relationship with his girlfriend, Mikey. As Rem uncovers the reason for Damien Rook's grudge against him, he realizes how intricately their previous cases are linked.

After another police officer is shot, Daniels and Remalla, supported by their friends and family, take a huge gamble with their lives as they face the full force of Damien Rook and his unknown power. Will they survive and finally be rid of the psychopaths who have affected their lives? Will this be the end of the Raven, and will they finally discover her identity?

I've been a fan of the Detective Daniels and Remalla Thrillers since I picked up Illusions as a review copy. JT Bishop's easy-to-read writing style helps convey the intricate plotlines and story arcs that span multiple books and seemingly unrelated events. What truly sets this series apart from other police thrillers is its unique paranormal twist. Throughout the series, characters with psychic abilities and individuals practicing darker arts are introduced. Daniels and Remalla tackle these cases as they cross their paths, learning how to deal with the paranormal and gathering allies along the way.

Unlike many police thrillers with invulnerable protagonists, Rem and Daniels are refreshingly human. They are normal men driven by a passion for what's right and a need to protect the innocent. Bishop doesn't shy away from describing their emotional and physical struggles after trauma, from Rem's recurring PTSD to the strain the job puts on Daniels' marriage. Their dynamic made me think of Sam and Dean from Supernatural, and I am sure fans of that show will devour the Daniels and Remalla series.

Cicero James by Hal Emerson is a cracker-filled urban fantasy and so much fun to read. Cicero James is a Worker – someone who through some horrible tragic event in his life awakened the ability to fight creatures from the space between spaces. He has a Mentor, an older doctor who took Cicero in after his mother passed. Cicero does the mundane thing, the daily grind at his uneventful job, but in his free time, he does Works, meaning he takes contracts from the Worker higher-ups and then sends the beasties back to where they belong. Unfortunately, his last beastie killed him. At least that was what should have happened. When Cicero wakes up in the morgue with no deadly wound to his chest, let’s just say things get complicated. Cicero has to escape an unknown threat and prove to Marlowe’s associates that he is to be trusted while coming to terms with his apparent Immortality. Hal Emerson has written an exciting and action-packed urban fantasy and Cicero James reminds me of Harry Dresden...
