ghosttie reviewed To hell and back by Lilith Saintcrow (A Dante Valentine novel)
Review of 'To hell and back' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Dante Valentine is probably the most self-indulgent character name ever, but it makes sense coming from Lilith Saintcrow - probably the most self-indulgent nom-de-plume ever.
Dante Valentine is probably the most accurate portrayal of a woman I've ever read. She does completely illogical things at completely random times, and even she doesn't know why.
I stayed with the series through all five books, but I can't say I don't wish I hadn't.
After getting past the ridiculous character name, the first book had enough good ideas and was well written enough that I bought the second book, and so on. But by the fifth book I was thoroughly sick of Dante's garbage. If we had been dating, I would have dumped Dante in book five.
