Title: The Collector

Author: Victoria Scott

Series: Dante Walker #1 

Published: April 2, 2013

Publisher: Entangled Teen

He makes good girls...bad.

Dante Walker is flippin’ awesome, and he knows it. His good looks, killer charm, and stellar confidence have made him one of hell’s best—a soul collector. His job is simple: weed through humanity and label those round rears with a big red good or bad stamp. Old Saint Nick gets the good guys, and he gets the fun ones. Bag-and-tag.

Sealing souls is nothing personal. Dante’s an equal-opportunity collector and doesn't want it any other way. But he’ll have to adjust, because Boss Man has given him a new assignment:

Collect Charlie Cooper’s soul within ten days.

Dante doesn't know why Boss Man wants Charlie, nor does he care. This assignment means only one thing to him, and that’s a permanent ticket out of hell. But after Dante meets the quirky Nerd Alert chick he’s come to collect, he realizes this assignment will test his abilities as a collector…and uncover emotions deeply buried.

My Teaser:

At the end of the walkway is a cat.  It struts with arrogance.  You'd think it just won the Nobel Prize.  But it didn't.  Know why?  Because it's a freakin' cat.  In case you missed the memo, I. Hate. Cats.  I loathe them.  They're built with creepy little teeth and finger blades.  I don't know about you, but I'll pass on that freak show.

Ohmygosh!  I just started reading Dante (FINALLY!!!) and I already love it!  Okay, so maybe my pure excitement of being sent a review copy may have clouded my vision since I'm only at 3% and already feel all gushy... but I'm promising myself I'll keep an open mind and not just assume I'm going to love it.  (Even though I totally know I will... ;))
