A Song of Piss and Vinegar #2
Blacky Jaguar Against the Cool Clux Cult
Ex-IRA hard-ass, wanted international criminal, and all-around hooligan Blacky Jaguar is back and on the run.
After painting the Cross Bronx Expressway red—literally—and losing his beloved car Polly to his ex, Linda Chen (who isn’t returning his calls because she’s not a complete idiot), Blacky decides his time is running short and has tasked himself with one last stop before tossing hands up and surrendering: Graceland.
Of course, nothing Blacky Jaguar sets his mind to ends up being simple. Contacted by an old frenemy, Broderick Kimbo, Blacky finds himself strong-armed into protecting the budding leader of a growing social justice movement against escalating attacks from an online cabal known as The Cool Clux Cult and their shadowy internet tough-guy leader, neilDATASStyson.
What happens when Blacky Jaguar meets a problem he can’t punch? What happens when our Irish hero discovers a pair of Doc Martens is utterly inappropriate for walking the wilderness? What happens when Blacky discovers the glory of the Chicken Biscuit?
What happens when Blacky Jaguar goes up against The Cool Clux Cult?
Praise for BLACKY JAGUAR AGAINST THE COOL CLUX CULT:
“Fighting against the Cool Clux Cult, Blacky Jaguar is leaner, meaner, and more insane than ever. But underneath all the missing teeth and spilled blood, we finally get a glimpse of Blacky's big heart—just don't tell him that.” —Nik Korpon, author of The Rebellion's Last Traitor
“Violent, topical and funny as hell. Blacky Jaguar is my kinda guy, and Colón is one of the best new voices in crime.” —Jay Stringer, author of How To Kill Friends and Implicate People
“With a voice that’s natural, cool, and centered—while still coiled and venomous—Angel Luis Colón delivers a flawless upgrade to the best novella of 2015. No question, Blacky is back. Bold, sharp, and full of surprise. Like a quick, hard left to the jaw.” —Tom Pitts, author of Hustle and American Static
Praise for the Blacky Jaguar series:
“I want a Blacky Jaguar TV series. And an action figure. And a lunchbox. And Blacky-branded brass knuckles. Until that day, I'll settle for this razor-sharp, rattling buzzsaw of a novella.” —Rob Hart, author of South Village and The Woman from Prague
“I sure as Hell hope Angel has more in store for Blacky Jaguar, because this character has more fight in him than can be contained in a single novella.” —Bracken MacLeod, author of Stranded and 13 Views of Suicide Woods

The magnificent mayhem that Chapter 5 alone contains makes this second installment of Blacky Jaguar's adventures worthwhile. But there's more. Angel Colón does a nice job developing his very enjoyable central character, the lanky ex-IRA hard man. He's older, more worn, and he's even flashing his own peculiar homegrown ethical sense, with a dash of social philosophy.
The door is open to Round 3 with Blacky. I'll be waiting.

I'm beginning to like Blacky Jaguar.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed Blacky Jaguar's first adventure, but Blacky himself was a character whom you rooted for while at the back of your time knowing that if you were in the same room as he was, you'd probably jump out of a window to get out.
In BLACKY JAGUAR AGAINST THE COOL CLUX CULT (Let's stop for a second to admire such a kick ass title shall we?), Angel Colon pulls Blacky out of the Bronx and into Tennessee, where in a short amount of time he manages to blow up an apartment, start a fight based on Creedence Clearwater Revival, and take a couple of hostages. And through it all, Colon fleshes out Blacky's character, and shows us he's maybe not just a wrecking ball as we were led to believe.
By the end of the book, we not only have a better idea of who Blacky the man is, but also who he used to be. There's hints of an overarching story happening in the background, with an unexpected villain popping up that I can't wait to see meet up with Blacky.

This was a fun, short read that I enjoyed the heck out of. The author does a great job of making us not-so-much "like" our old friend Blacky Jaguar, but understand him and in the end, hope he comes out on top. Writing anti-heroes and even outright villains as a protagonist takes a delicate hand and Angel has it. Great action, dark, but not drowning in bleakness, and it's really funny too. Check it out!

Blacky Jaguar is back, and this time all he wants to do is visit Graceland.
Before he came make it, Blacky gets wrapped up with an old "friend" and finds one of the biggest assholes on the internet. Blacky's going to make it to Graceland if he has to beat-down every racist in Tennessee to do it.
Another fast-paced, beer-guzzling adventure by Angel Colon. Can't wait for more.

Enjoyable story. Poor proof reading was distracting.
