"Dark fantasy has a new heroine."
â??- SFX

When the dead call, she answers.

Bounty hunting is a helluva job, but it pays the bills. And it lets Necromance Dante Valentine forget her issuesâ??-like struggling with her half-demon side and the memory of her lover's death.

Now psychics all over the city are being savagely murderedâ??-and a piece of the past Dante thought she'd buried is stalking the night with a vengeance. Too bad she's got no way to tell which fiendâ??or friendâ??to trust. Or that her most horrifying nightmares are gathering to take one kick-ass bounty hunter down for the count.

But that's only the beginning. The Devil just called. He's looking for Dante's loverâ??the one

For the whole series: By the gods and kittens, that *censored* hurt.

Seriously excellent world building, really strong character development, a fascinating look at ethics without truth, and just... damn. An impressive and in many ways resonating construct, but I'm literally writing myself a note to never pick this particular series back up again because the price is so damn high.

And yeah, it gets five stars. Because it does what it does so very well. And because so many of the underlying structures are absolutely beautiful. ( )

Dante Valentine's adventures continue in this second book of the series. Although these urban fantasy books venture sometimes into areas a little darker than I generally like, I just flip those pages really quickly. :) I like the complexity of the character(s) and the layers of the world the author has built. Will definitely read more! ( )

Falling back into this series is as effortless as it comes.

Dante is wallowing in the loss of her old self (having gained demonic powers) and the loss of her demon lover. Not only that, she's lost a lot more and while she's now super hard to kill, she's obsessing over her difficult past, her childhood of abuse, the magical practitioners who fed on the students.

Of course, all of this comes wrapped in a fantastic high-tech bow with plasguns, gene-engineering, a full extra-modern city with necromancers, sex-magic practitioners, and... of course... cops, private investigators, and mercenaries.

Add to that the devil and Dante's unwilling association, having found love with a fallen demon and then losing him... and we've got enough pathos to charge a mag-lev train.

The past really comes home to roost in this novel and there was never a point where I wasn't thoroughly entertained. It's just one of those novels. Total flashy UF goodness with everything I like in both SF and Fantasy. :)

So good. :)

This was a good sequel, though there were times I was mad at Dante and times I wanted more relationship building. I didn't like it as much as the first book, but that is often the case (mostly due, I think, to the novelty of the new world, new ideas, new characters).

Still, a good read, and I will definitely be continuing the series. ( )

the first book drew me in, the second book....ehhhh it was ok. a good majority of it Dante spent bitching and moaning which make it hard to read. the really best part of the book was literally the very end of it. I will continue to read this series and hope this book was just a dud. ( )
