The love for morally ambiguous characters seems to be growing and growing, and book on of the Black Caviar series seems to be playing right into that.Damon is a slick, city-wise, gangster in the business of selling drugs. Though on one hand he's a stone cold, ruthless thug unafraid to get his hands dirty, on the other hand he's a loving family man. Damon's complexity lends to his likability. There's nothing more intriguing than a protagonist with many layers and shades of gray. Damon has shades of gray in spades, and though the book has its share of sex of appeal, I'm not talking that about that other "shades of grey" series. It took me a bit to get hooked into the ongoing plot, but once it gets going it pulls you in like a gritty hardboiled detective novel ala Devil in a Blue Dress.I thought it was clever that Psymon decided to label his chapters as episodes as it really made the book feel as though it was high action thriller on tv like it's contemporaries "Breaking Bad" or "Dexter." It really lends itself to that format and adds to the forward momentum to lead into future sequels.Definitely an enjoyable read leaving its readers with a lot to chew on through it's complex and riveting characters and plenty of mystery.
