Dead Man Rising (1 of 2) [Dramatized Adaptation]

Dante Valentine [Dramatized Adaptation] #2, part 1

by Lilith Saintcrow, Colleen Delany (Narrator), Thomas Keegan (Narrator)

Bounty hunting is a helluva job, but it pays the bills. And it lets necromance Dante Valentine forget her issues. Like struggling with her half-demon side and the memory of her lover's death.

Now psychics all over the city are being savagely murdered and a piece of the past Dante thought she'd buried is stalking the night with a vengeance. Too bad she's got no way to tell which fiend - or friend - to trust. Or that her most horrifying nightmares are gathering to take one kick-ass bounty hunter down for the count.

But that's only the beginning. The Devil just called. He's looking for Dante's lover - the one he killed...

The GraphicAudio recording is fabulous

The story itself is extremely dark and very violent, but the GA performance pulled me through. They divided the second book in this series into two parts. This is the first part.

Audio performance: 5 stars
Story: 3 stars
Average: 4 stars

I never picked up these novels because I was never motivated to do so. There always seemed to be something else I wanted to read more. The fact that these graphic audio versions are so well done was enough to convince me to listen to these. We lose one character I loved in this novel, but gain another.

Closer to 3.5 stars. I did not like this one as much as the first. Dante is becoming less of a badass, and more of a whiny neurotic. I'm hoping this aspect does not continue to go down hill as I read/listen to the rest of the series. Still love her potty mouth though.
