When the Devil needs a rogue demon killed, who does he call? The Player: Necromance-for-hire Dante Valentine is choosy about her jobs. Hot tempered and with nerves of steel, she can raise the dead like nobody's business. But one rainy Monday morning, everything goes straight to hell. The Score: The Devil hires Dante to eliminate a rogue demon: Vardimal Santino. In return, he will let her live. It's an offer she can't refuse. The Catch: How do you kill something that can't die?

I wanted to like this book, i really did. I had high hopes for it. Maybe I set my sites too high though. The premise sounded promising. I'd finished the second Liz Williams book (Snake Agent is the first one), and it had so much potential, but never felt like it lived up to it. So I was hoping this series would scratch that itch. But it didn't. It felt shallow. Even for a "fun" book the characters felt too shallow, the dialogue stiff and repetitive. The slightly futuristic world didn't capture my imagination in any way.

I felt like I was dropped down into the middle of the story instead of at the beginning of the series. Maybe it was because I had never read anything by Saintcrow before but I don't think that I will be reading anything be her again.
