Representaion In Favor Of Books Saint City Sinners (Dante Valentine #4)
We've gone from necromancy to body horror to becoming one half of some sort of demon/human hybrid soulmate thingie across these books, with friend or lover or frenemies dying left and right and turning poor Dante into a walking wreck... or a wrecking ball.In other words, it's a decent UF with all the goodies AND it's as high-tech futuristic as it is fully magical and full of practitioners of all kinds of magical arts AND a full community of Demons pulling strings from hell. You know, like Satan. Or Japh, Dante's soul mate. :) Details.
But this book picks up on a dour note mainly because of the strong-arm tactics of Satan and his need to quash the rebellion brewing because his control over his possible new children is slipping.... or has already slipped.
And now Dante and Japh are on or will soon be on different sides of this little nightmare. Dante is going to save her kin. Japh is just trying to survive, and if he doesn't deliver, both of them are going to die.
Here's a GOOD conflict. Add all the sexual tension, the jerky behavior of a demon who can't or won't understand, and the love between them. Add swords, lasers, vamps, undead magicians, werewolves, gene-spliced and augmented hackers.
And MORE dead friends.
Let's let Dante go all out on a revenge kick. And have to decide whether she will betray all her principles AND her death god Anubis. :)
Pretty cool popcorn fiction by any standard. :) And yes, I'm still having fun. Isn't that the point?

NO! Why??? Why the death? I don't like this one as much. This went totally sideways for me. I'm so bummed I have to wait until the last book is written. I didn't want to end reading four books published in one weekend only to end on this terrible note. Gotta wait a few months.Another great bookMy only issue with this book is my frustration with the relationship between Dante and her demon lover. One minute she's calling on him to help her and the next she's telling him she's over him forever, and then changes her mind yet again. I sure would like to see her figure it out one of these days.
I really enjoyed this entire series! I read all of the books in less than a week. The one thing that keeps me from rating this 5 stars is the way the main character goes from a fantastic character that can accomplish most anything on her own to a helpless twit that can't even think without the help of others. Then, in the blink of an eye she's back to being able to think and act on her own again and back and forth. I mean everyone needs help and has to have the help of others but she goes from
*spoilers ahead Hell has nothing on Saint City What is up with the cheesy lines? If it werent for Working for the Devil I wouldnt even bother with a book that had that rubbish on the cover. I feel forced to read this. I know I have one book left till Im done with this series and Im extremely happy about it.Saint City Sinners is all about crying, shrugging, almost bruises, manhandling, unspoken feelings and annoying monologues. Maybe the cover should look more like this: What else is happening
Fourth in the Dante Valentine fantasy series, Saint City Sinners continues with the demon hunt to which Japh and Dante have agreed although it takes second place to the disaster which has struck Eddie and Gabe.My TakeIm hoping she profits by this insight as shes driving me mad with her stopping in the middle of a disaster and demanding explanations. Jesus, even I know you get to a safe place first and then ask! Then theres the fact that she has to have it confirmed from an outside source that
First I say that I reserve to change my rating after I finish the next book. I feel like if a book ends with too be continued that it should be viewed as only part of the whole.This 4th book in the Dante Valentine Series is an almost constant stream of contradictions. It starts almost immediately after the last book and continues that pattern of repetitious and irrational thoughts by our heroine. ****I apologize, but I don't feel like I can complete the review of this book without spoilers.
