The '''[[Black London''']] novels are a dark urban fantasy series by Caitlin Kittredge and tell the continuing adventures of a magic talented couple of supernatural troubleshooters in and around London.
 
Twelve years ago, young Pete Caldecott, smitten with her sister MG's boyfriend Jack Winter, lead singer of the Poor Dead Bastards and [[Badass]] mage, followed him into a graveyard to help him with some magic. It went wrong. Badly, badly wrong. Jack was savaged by what he summoned. Pete ran, back to the [[Muggle]] world, finished school and went on to live a somewhat normal life, becoming a Detective Inspector at the tender age of 28, at the cost of her relationship.
Line 6:
In the present day, a case she's working on leads her to a tip, and the tip leads her to a filthy fleabag hotel. And in that fleabag hotel sits Jack Winter, with the solution to her problem. Jack Winter whom Pete had thought dead and gone.
 
After solving that case, the pair of them pretty much stay together, doing supernatural work for hire and protecting people from the dangers of The Black—theBlack -- the supernatural and magical atmosphere and denizens of the UK.
 
The series currently{{when}} consists of:
Line 63:
* [[Unfortunate Names]]: Pete and MG's full first names are pretty unfortunate.
* [[Wonder Twin Powers]]: Pete's powers work this way (especially if she touches the other person) with a lot of other supernatural magic practitioners, making her something of a hot commodity in the Black.
* [[You Called Me "X" - It Must Be Serious]]: How the reader can tell Jack is most likely being serious and not just flirty, evasive or lying outright—heoutright -- he will call Pete by her entire first name (once he learns it); which name he fully acknowledges is, in his own words, "dreadful".
