manages to pack a creative
punch into her latest novel.
Devil May Cry is a Dark
Hunter novel although Sin is
not actually a Dark Hunter.
Sin doesn’t hunt daimons, the
vampire like creatures that
steal the souls and lives of
humans in order to extend
their own lives, he has them
working for him in his Las
Vegas casino. Sin has his
own demons to battle and in
his case they are gallu
demons who were created by
the Sumerian gods as the
ultimate weapon and are so
fierce and hard to kill that
they make killings daimons
look easy by comparison.
Gallu demons are perhaps
more like traditional
vampires because they have
the ability to convert humans
into gallu demons from just
one bite. Their victims rise
from the dead to prey on
humans, who in turn become
gallus meaning the world
could quickly become over
run with demons if they
weren’t kept in check.
Although Sin lost his
godhood thousands of years
ago, as the last god left in the
Sumerian pantheon he is the
only one who can wield the
ancient weapons that will
stop the gallu demons from
unleashing seven uberdemons (called the Dimme)
who will bring about the
apocalypse if they are freed
to roam the earth from their
underground prison.
It is against this exciting
background that Katra and
Sin’s romance takes place, as
Katra is determined to help
Sin advert the apocalypse.
Katra has featured in several
of the previous books in this
series and she has always had
a strange relation
