The Black Parade	comment	The Black Parade is a 2013 urban fantasy/paranormal novel by Kyoko M.Jordan Amador. 21. New Yorker. Waitress. Mild alcoholic. Murderer.Two years ago, Jordan accidentally shot and killed a Seer: a person who can see, hear, and talk to ghosts with unfinished business. Her crime came with a hefty price, too. She has two years to help a hundred souls cross over to the afterlife or her soul is bound for hell. Tough break.As if that weren't bad enough, two days before her deadline a handsome pain-in-the-ass poltergeist named Michael strolls into her life. His soul is the key to her salvation, but the cost just might be more than she can handle. Solving his death puts her right in the crosshairs of Belial: a vain, bloodthirsty archdemon who won't rest until she's his slave. Can she rescue Michael and save her own soul, or will they both be dragged down into the clutches of the eternal black parade?Not to be confused with the My Chemical Romance album, although that is where the novel draws its inspiration and title. The novel also roughly bases its mythology after John Milton's Paradise Lost, which is why it is separated into three "books"—Book One, The Black Parade; Book Two, In Medias Res; Book Three, The Beautiful Descent.The Black Parade has two sequel novels as well as a short story collection and a novella. The short story collection called The Deadly Seven. It takes place In Medias Res of The Black Parade in the two month period between Chapters 15 and 16, where Jordan and Michael are getting accustomed to each other as he protects her from various demons and settles in to his new human life. The included tropes are below. There is also a novella called Back to Black that takes place between She Who Fights Monsters and The Holy Dark, telling the tale of how Jordan met the Seer Myra Bennett.The second novel is entitled She Who Fights Monsters and was released July 22, 2014. Its tropes are below as well.The third novel is entitled The Holy Dark (after a lyric from Leonard Cole's "Hallelujah") and was released April 24, 2015. There are a couple of excerpts from the first two chapters available to preview. Its tropes are below as well.There are interviews with the author here, here, and here.Spoilers ahead.

The Black Parade / int_2dc0d2bf	comment	Hidden Depths: Michael. He shows signs of being a bit of a geek (owning a Play Station 3, referencing an anime trope and comic book characters, binge-watching Breaking Bad, reading Neil Gaiman) and isn't quite as unflappable as he first appears. He can actually get a bit flustered when Jordan directly flirts with him (Sloth II) or teases him (Lust II) and is utterly mortified when he has a sex dream about her (Lust III).

The Black Parade / int_88cee6e2	comment	Abhorrent Admirer: Jordan’s “strumpet” persona attracts the attention of the lead demon’s lieutenant, Dustin. The first night they interact, he slits a demon’s throat and then nearly initiates sex with her afterward, while still soaked in the dead demon’s blood. Brr. And after he finds out she's a double agent, so to speak, he casually tells her that without him putting in a good word for her with Maurice, she'd be turned into a sex slave. His counter-offer is that if she cooperates, he'll only turn her into his personal sex slave instead and then dump her off to Belial once he's had his fun. Stand up guy, that Dustin.

When Jordan almost initiates sex with him while on demon blood, Belial just barely manages to resist the urge to sleep with her or give her more of his blood, as demon blood is highly addictive and turns the person who drinks it into the worse version of him or herself. It's one of the handful of truly decent things Belial's ever done in the series. Belial warns Jordan that as soon as they crossover into Hell, he will be so utterly beautiful and powerful that she won't be able to resist him and he will be compelled to convince her to give him her soul. Once they arrive, it goes exactly as he said it would, with him easily seducing her. It's ambiguous as to whether or not Jordan's willpower would have been enough to resist had she not seen Michael a second later. Seeing him snaps her out of it and she's able to get back to herself.

One to The Colbert Report when Michael calls the hellbear a “godless killing machine.” Jordan tells Belial Michael is her "smizmar." While revealing facts about herself, Jordan mentions having a crush on Harry Dresden. Allison apparently set Jordan's ringtone to "Trinity Titoli", the song that plays over the last scene of Django Unchained. Jordan's narration mentions Two Best Friends Play's episode of Man versus Wild when she is forced to go hiking for one of the Judas coins. Ace is named after Ace the Bathound from the Batman comics as well as Batman Beyond. One of the demons who comes for the contract on Belial calls himself, Balrog. Avriel quotes "Oedipus Rex" while taking down one of the necromancers. Jordan mentions The A-Team and Star Wars (particularly the Storm Troopers) when noting the necromancer's poor aim. Jordan tries to tempt Michael into doing the "Are you pondering what I'm pondering" line from Pinky and the Brain. She calls him an "uncultured swine" in her head for not playing along. Myra makes fun of Jordan and Michael for having a little tryst in their hotel room by saying, "Y'all motherfuckers need Jesus." As Myra tries to pry about Jordan and Michael's relationship, Jordan calls her Quagmire, to which she replies with, "Giggity." After Belial kidnaps her and doses her with sodium thiopental, Jordan has this to say: "Why did you drug me? Trying to get me to admit how you make me go sploosh in my panties?"

However, it appears as if Detective Hughes has good intentions and is just doing his job rather than having a vendetta against Jordan. He even lets her off the hook with a warning.

When she wakes, the battle is still going on, but she misses Mulciber and Michael's fight that caused him to capture her by the time he revives Jordan from near-death.

She has no idea who she is to him, but she immediately helps calm her down and promises Michael will call her later. This later develops into a mother-daughter relationship as five years after the main events of the book, Michael and Jordan have adopted Allison. Myra is gruff and very snarky, but it's clear she's become protective of Jordan over the course of their partnership and friendship.

Hers is "Fascinating New Thing (FNT)" by Semisonic and his is "Big Bad Handsome Man" by Imelda May. Belial also joins in this time, and his ringtone for Jordan is "I Can't Decide" by Scissor Sisters. Jordan is deeply unamused when she finds out about the latter.
