Review - The Liberator (A Dante Walker Novel) by Victoria Scott




Dante Walker…again.

Yes he’s still awesome and yes he’s the best collect…I mean…liberator around.

So the bad boy with the killer attitude and the insurmountable sex appeal is back, except now he’s working for a different boss.  When we last left Dante he’d traded in his cuffed life of a Collector, for a more “angelic” life as a Liberator and boy is he having a hard time with that.

Dante has been a soul collector for hell for quite some time, so it only makes sense that he’s going to have issues turning good and placing seals on souls for Heaven.  He’s still rocking the good looks and that bad boy personality, and he’s also trying to take care of his girlfriend, Charlie.

With ex-fellow Collector Rector still on the prowl for Charlie’s soul, Dante really has been on edge.  He’s not had a job since…well since he was sent for Charlie’s soul… and he’s been a little antsy about what all this Liberator stuff really means.  He’s only had a small reprieve where he’s questioning all he is when he’s finally sent his next assignment.  This will be his first assignment as Liberator and he’s told that it is imperative he seals this soul for Heaven and does his job well with this assignment; otherwise he could very well lose his cuff and his second chance at life.  No pressure, right?

He’s also told that this assignment is in a completely different part of the country, this meaning he has to leave Charlie at home until he can complete his task.  That does not bode well with him...or really with her, but she wants him to be good and to accept his new role.

Once he leaves her, the real issues of the story begin to unfold.  Aspen, his new assignment, is hell bent on driving him insane with how much like him she really is.  She could be his sister for that matter with the bad-ass attitude she sports around.  He finds it very hard and almost impossible to find a way to seal her soul and do the job he’s been sent to do.  After all, how would he seal a soul for Heaven, when it’s so much like his own…and he KNOWS what his soul looks like.

Before he can get too far into his assignment, all hell begins to break loose.  With Charlie and her best friend coming to join him during his assignment, Kraven coming back into the mix to teach Dante some serious kick butt moves, and a test that could ultimately make or break Dante forever…what’s an ex-demon turned Liberator to do?

Oh…and the appearance of a well-loved character makes their way back into our lives, much to my happiness!!

I am VERY happy to report that Dante definitely did NOT disappoint with the second in this trilogy!  I couldn’t put the book down from beginning to end and I am anxiously awaiting my copy of the third and final book in this trilogy!  All in all, I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars on GoodReads and will probably pick it up and read it again for how much the story kept me on the edge of my seat.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to meet Dante Walker, I very much suggest you go out and pick up the entire series!  You can find his books on:





Victoria Scott has an absolutely wonderful way of writing a novel that will both touch your heart and make you laugh out loud in the same sentence.  She will tug at your heart strings one moment and then have you rooting for the good guy in some crazy action packed fight scene in the next.  Pick this series up, you won’t regret it!
