Continue the spellbinding journey into a world of shadows with this brand-new paperback edition of Black Magick Volume 2: Awakening II. Written by the master of modern noir, Greg Rucka (The Old Guard, Lazarus), and illustrated by the incomparable Nicola Scott (Wonder Woman), this volume deepens the mystery of a detective living a double life.

This Mature Readers title from Image Comics is a stunning fusion of hard-boiled police procedural and ancient, visceral witchcraft.

The Story

Rowan Black is a robbery-homicide detective in Portsmouth, but she is also a witch of the highest order. While Volume 1 saw her world begin to unravel, Awakening II finds the pressure mounting from all sides. As a mysterious organization continues to hunt those with Rowan's gifts, her past begins to bleed into her present in dangerous ways. The line between being a protector of the law and a practitioner of the craft has never been thinner, and the consequences of her choices are becoming increasingly lethal.

Why You Should Read It

  • Atmospheric "Ink-and-Wash" Art: Nicola Scott uses a breathtaking grayscale palette with deliberate splashes of color to highlight magical energy, creating a visual experience unlike anything else in comics.

  • Grounded Occultism: Greg Rucka treats the supernatural with a heavy, realistic weight, focusing on the research, rituals, and heavy personal costs of magic.

  • Complex Lead Character: Rowan Black is a compelling, layered protagonist—a woman trying to maintain her morality while wielding power that predates human law.

  • Intricate World-Building: This volume expands the lore of the "Aredian" line and the secret societies that operate in the dark corners of the modern world.

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
