Working for the Devil
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
A razor-sharp necromancer forced to work for the Devil himself—with a demon bodyguard who complicates everything—this is gritty, pulse-pounding urban fantasy with a heroine who bleeds but never breaks. The Dante/Japhrimel dynamic is the kind of forbidden slow-burn that ruins you for other romances.
Synopsis
When the devil needs a rogue demon killed, he calls Dante Valentine--a cross between Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake and Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan--in this sassy debut novel by Saintcrow. Original.
