  <default_description>Bounty hunting is a helluva job, but it pays the bills. And it lets necromance Dante Valentine forget her issues. Like struggling with her half-demon side and the memory of her lover&#8217;s death.
&lt;p&gt;Now psychics all over the city are being savagely murdered, 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 fiend&amp;mdash;or friend&amp;mdash;to trust. Or that her most horrifying nightmares are gathering to take one kick-ass bounty hunter down for the count.
&lt;p&gt;But that's only the beginning. The Devil just called. He's looking for Dante's lover&amp;mdash;the one he killed&#8230;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The 2nd book in the Dante Valentine Series.  I liked this book - I would have given it 3.5 stars if half stars were possible, but not quite enough for 4 stars.  The premise is interesting and the main plot line was spooky and made for a page turner.  My big criticism of this book was Too. Much.

    <body><![CDATA[We all have emotional baggage, but sometimes the baggage has a life of it's own and it's trying to kill you.  This is what Danny faces in the second edition to the series.  Danny is forced to confront a past that she, and every other child who was touched by it, ran from.

Somewhere toward the middle, I began to get involved with the back story.  I even started to root for Japhrimel  over Jace and mourned him all through book Dead Man Rising along with D...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62028635">more...</a>]]></body>
