Working for the Devil by Lilith Saintcrow
Move over Anita Blake. I was browsing through my library's shelves and randomly picked up "Working for the Devil" which blew me away within the first pages. Saintcrow writes with a tight, action-oriented almost comicbook like narrative. Dante Valentine isn't a typical urban-fantasy heroine, she's senstive, flawed and incredibly human. Gone are the large chested women with strange colored hair and eyes with limitless abilities who are just so perfect.
Dante Valentine is greeted by a demon sporting a gun on her doorstep early one morning with a message from "The Prince." Who is the Prince? Lucifer, who has contracted Dante (an accomplished Necromance and bounty hunter) to track down Santino a lower level demon who stole an important artifact from the Prince. With the Devil, there's always a catch, Santino stalked and murdered her lover along with other accomplished Necromances.
