Working for the Devil (Dante Valentine, #1)

by Lilith Saintcrow

Dante Valentine's working relationship with the Devil began on a rainy Monday. Dante's a licensed Necromance, one of the best ever to survive training, and she's got an emerald embedded in her forehead to prove it. That's why the Devil sends his minion to hire Dante to kill Vardimal Santino, a fugitive demon. As Dante points out, Necromances don't kill people, they bring them back; or at least their ghosts. But turning down Lucifer isn't something you do if you want to stay alive, and besides, it turns out she's got a score to settle with Santino. Desperate to track down an enemy she can't find, Dante is bonded with a demon familiar she doesn't trust and a small band of psychics who seem almost as determined to help her as she is to refuse their help. The thing is, Dante doesn't need friends, she needs a miracle. Because the first time Dante Valentine met Santino, she almost died.

Reviews

I really enjoyed this book. It is completely different from any demon book I have read. Dante is called and forced to work for Lucifer himself and is given a demon familiar. I think Danny was very surprised by how she felt about the demon. She starts to trust him and depend on him while she is hunting the demon for Lucifer (and her own revenge). I am very interested in seeing where Danny goes from here.
