Book Review of Dead Man Rising (Dante Valentine, Bk 2)

Dead Man Rising (Dante Valentine, Bk 2)
VeganFreak avatar reviewed on


Follow up to Working For the Devil and I recommend that you read them in order.

Dark, paranormal, action packed mysteries set in a unique future world, where an "awakening" has taken place in the human population and many have developed magical- or psionic- abilities.

There are non-human creatures such as demons and vampire-like creatures called Nichtvren. There are werewolf type creatures, but I forgot what they are called.

I really like the world that Saintcrow has created for these stories. I do have a harder time than usual getting into the stories at first, but that fades away and I get totally immersed in her fantastic world.

It's good fun and a great escape. I like that the protagonist, Dante Valentine is a tough chick who doesn't have any problem kicking ass. I wish more stories in the genre were like this one.
