'Enigma Black' is the story of Celaine, a young woman who must leave behind her friends and the man who loves her to avenge the loss of her family at the hands of a mass-murdering villain.This book tells a classic superhero tale, with major sacrifices being made by Celaine on her way to becoming a hero capable and strong enough to fight the man who killed her parents.  I was quickly absorbed in the story and found the main characters easy to like.  There were some good twists and turns throughout which kept the plot from becoming predictable and kept me turning pages.  I read this in a few quick hours and it kept me entertained throughout.I thought the tone was a bit uncertain in places - it would seem like a serious moment but then Celaine would wink or something.  This was the only thing that really bothered me and it's a minor complaint for a story that captivated me from beginning to end.Overall this is an entertaining, page-turning, superhero story.  The ending both shocked and satisfied - I look forward to finding out what happens next!
