Working for the Devil (Dante Valentine, #1)

Loved this book, with a capital L. In fact, I wish I had more stars today. I found this gem via the Dark Urban Fantasy Blog: http://www.darkurbanfantasy.com/
So much good here, I barely know where to begin. Dante Valentine is a great heroine, maybe one of my favorites of all time. She's foul-mouthed, sassy, and doesn't take crap from anyone. That occasionally makes her a little hard-nosed, but the way her character is built up makes that fitting. Her relationships are frequently hostile and always amusing. Japhrimel is another great character. His growth throughout the book made me smile.
Dante is "persuaded" to take on a job by none other than Lucifer himself--find a demon and return an item he stole to hell. Danny is reluctant until Lucifer explains that the demon is a serial killer she's been after for some time.
Plenty of action and some cool bits of magic make this an exciting and interesting read. Probably not the best choice for die-hard paranormal romance fans, but a must read for lovers of urban fantasy.
