How Quentin Black Mystery Began
J.C. Andrijeski, a prolific author known for her immersive world-building in series like Allie’s War, launched Quentin Black Mystery as a spin-off set in a parallel version of Earth. Inspired by her love for gritty mysteries and paranormal romance, Andrijeski crafted Quentin Black as an antihero—a brilliant psychic detective with a dangerous edge. The series began with Black In White in 2015, introducing readers to a world where seers like Black hide among humans, their powers both a gift and a curse. Andrijeski’s background in journalism and her travels across Europe, Asia, and the U.S. infuse the series with vivid, authentic settings.
The Heart of Quentin Black Mystery
The Quentin Black Mystery series kicks off with Black In White, where Miri Fox meets Quentin Black during a serial killer investigation. As Black’s enigmatic past unravels, their chemistry sparks, pulling them into a web of danger. Black As Night takes the duo to Bangkok, where Miri faces a harrowing ordeal involving sex traffickers, deepening the series’ darker themes. Black On Black sees Black entangled with a cult of seers, testing his loyalty and Miri’s resolve. Later, Black Is Magic (book 15) explores global chaos and a potential race war, showcasing the series’ escalating stakes.
At its core, the series tackles themes of identity, morality, and the blurred line between human and otherworldly. Quentin, a seer from a darker dimension, grapples with his past as a slave to humans, while Miri confronts her own hidden abilities. The gritty urban settings—spanning San Francisco, Bangkok, and beyond—mirror the characters’ inner turmoil, blending noir aesthetics with sci-fi elements. Andrijeski’s vivid prose and complex character dynamics make each book a page-turner, though some readers note the series’ intense violence and romantic heat may not suit all tastes.
