• Hunting The Five on Dec. 02, 2011
  
  De La Roca is not exactly a demon, but she’s not exactly human either. She needs five kills before she is released from Hell, but her boss, her victims and sometimes her friends all have different agendas. This short story is full of action, with just the right pacing as to not be too overbearing but definitely keeps you interested. The way this author, Violante, describes new worlds and planes is brilliant. This is not an easy thing to do but she did it well, using just enough descriptors to give us an idea but leaving some things open to the imagination. My only complaint might be that there were many questions left unanswered - but that leaves all the more to look forward to the next story in the series!
