Once I read the blurb to this YA paranormal, I knew I HAD to read this book! Entangled is fast becoming one of my favorite publishers.

Dante is filled with ‘tude and thinks he’s all that. He just happens to be soul collector for Lucifer. He’s on top of his game until he meets his latest assignment who’s nothing like he expected. Rather she’s what most high schoolers would consider a ‘loser’. Dante feels this is a no winner. Little does he know what he’s up against!

Love, LOVE the voice of this novel. Dante is one bad boy demon but underneath all that badness hides a vulnerability that Charlie is able to worm into. I admit it. I’m a huge sucker for anti-heroes who are reluctant on their journeys or quests.

Charlie isn’t the stereotypical ‘good’ girl either. Readers glimpse some of her secret hopes and wishes. At first this makes it easy for Dante to slowly give away her soul. Yes, he’s not totally honest but it’s more a case of not volunteering any info.

Charlie’s friends are tight and would do anything for her. And vice a versa. I especially love her BFF Anna who has a Goth girl feel with a heart of gold.

I especially love the revelations about Dante and his own choices he must make. Because this novel is all about that: the choices we have and what we do with them.

Totally in love with Dante! **Fanning self! Can’t wait to see what happens next. Somehow I feel this isn’t the last we hear from Dante.
Good Points
1. Love, LOVE the voice of this novel
2. New anti-hero to love
3. Demon with a hidden soft side
