Why I Loved It: It doesn't get much more bad boy than Dante Walker, demon with swag. The boy has more moves, money, and overwhelming ego than most. Seriously, the boy thinks he's hot stuff. The idea is that Satan has "collectors" who go around trying to get Satan souls before Judgement Day. Dante is a said collector. Considering the boy spent the later years of his young life making selfish decisions, there wasn't much of a change later when he landed himself in hell. He managed to get in good with "Boss Man" or Satan. Now the only change is that he has immortality and a black Amex that is pretty much limitless *or it seems that way in the book*. Then enters the girl *there's always a girl* who Dante gets assigned to. Satan wants Charlie's soul. A problem quickly forms. Dante knows Satan wants Charlie, but he has no idea why. Charlie is good and kind, probably the purest person he's met, but that doesn't justify the huge mission to reel her in. Either way, Dante has been sent to claim her soul, and failing has some big consequences.

Victoria Scott has created a fresh twist in the world of angels and demons in YA lit *in my humble opinion* and the plot is refreshingly different. I have to say it's one of those books that you just have to let all reality go. It wouldn't happen, but enjoy the ride.

All in all, I really enjoyed the book. For me, the second half is where it got really good. Let Dante have his ego. Enjoy his bad boy self. And love and adore Charlie. Charlie could just be Dante's undoing.

Who Should Read It: If you really like the Sweet Evil series by Wendy Higgins, Hush, Hush, or have a thing for a bad boy main character, I would give it a spin.

Hmmmm. I'm not completely sold on the whole bad boy thing, but it does sound pretty interesting. Might have to look into it more.
