The Devil's Right Hand (Dante Valentine #3) 
I really am falling for Japhrimel. The conflict is getting worse in this book. I don't know what is going to happen and now I'm thinking Dante is going to lose her soul. Working with the Devil just leaves a taint which can't be removed. The story is getting weird. Off to read the next one.
I think I'm gonna have to go with 1 star for this just because it made me so angry and also I literally skimmed half of it. I've been sitting here for the past few days like 'but Devann, you gave Twilight 2 stars ffs, surely you can bump this up?' But really Twilight is like 'so bad it's also funny' and this is just 'so bad you're alternately bored out of your mind and also in a blind rage'. I read the first two books in this series a few years ago and while they were never really outstanding,

I'm not sure if I've ever read a series quite as frustrating as this one. When it's good, it's OMG-can't-stop-must-keep-reading-this-is-A-MAZING! good, but when it's bad, it's plodding- tedious-we've-been-over-this-a-bajillion-times-ugh-shoot-me-now bad. And it's such a shame, because it could have been so freakin' awesome! Now, the repetative elements aren't the author's fault. Editors often suggest each book in a series is written as a standalone. Because of the nature of publishing, people
I think the only reason I'm still reading this series is because I haven't found something else to read yet. It's a good idea for a story in this genre, but I can't stand the main characters. The lead female is way too needy and whiny. It's also really annoying that the author has her think something and then say it out loud immediately afterward, word for word so we are reading it twice. The lead male has absolutely no personality until this book and now the little bit he has, he acts like an
Ok, so apparently Dante has to grieve over someone in each book else Saintcrow wont be happy. Book two over Japh, and now over Jace. Yay Dante.I dont know whats wrong with me. I touch The Devils Right Hand, and I feel like yawning. I touch it again, just to make sure, and I yawn again. I open the book. Chapter 1.

I guess this book in the series was okay....I'm a little put off by the writing now, the constant repeating of thought and dialogue is annoying. The stories are just "eh" for me right now, but I'll finish them out.

Description During Books The Devil's Right Hand (Dante Valentine #3)
Dante Valentine, Necromancer and bounty hunter, just wants to be left alone. But the Devil has other ideas. The Prince wants Dante. And he wants her now. And Dante and her lover, Japhrimel, have no choice but to answer the Prince's summons. And to fulfill a seemingly simple task: become the Devil's Right Hand, hunt down four demons that have escaped from Hell, and earn His gratitude. It's a shame that nothing is ever easy when it comes to the Devil. Because of course, he doesn't tell Dante the whole truth: there is a rebellion brewing in Hell. And there is a good chance that Lucifer is about to be pushed off the throne. But Dante is getting really tired of being pushed around. And this time, she might be angry enough to take on the Devil himself...Identify Out Of Books The Devil's Right Hand (Dante Valentine #3)

Storyline: Dante Valentine, necromance, bounty hunter, part demon after being altered by Japrimel, possible magi (if she can find the time to get qualified), and pre-cog, just wants to be left alone after the events of Dead Man Walking where she lost her ex lover Jace, her home, and ended up leaving her home city. Japhrimel and Dante end up in Italy (I love the play on cities names that the author comes up with.) She is studying what it means to be a Magi, and also trying to understand whatI really am falling for Japhrimel. The conflict is getting worse in this book.
