Book Review of Wicked City: Black Guard

Wicked City: Black Guard
reviewed on + 155 more book reviews


"Vampire Hunter D" author Hideyuki Kikuchi's Wicked City is the first in a trilogy that pairs a human (male) and a demon (female) on a mission to protect a sage. Both are members of the Black Guard, a force of protectors who keep the tenuous peace between the human and demon realms. As with his other works, these are not for kids. There's explicit violence (sexual and otherwise). The story moves along, and there are some unexpected twists.
