The Liberator by Victoria Scott 352 pages

This is the second book in the Dante Walker Trilogy. In the first book, The Collector, Dante Walker is a collector of souls for the Boss Man (aka, Lucifer). He was given the mission to collect Charlie Cooper’s soul. The thing that Dante had not expected was falling for Charlie. After collecting Charlie’s soul, Dante “dies” trying to protect Charlie from Rector, another collector. After waking up in a hospital bed, Dante finds out that he is now a liberator for the Big Guy (aka, God).

In The Liberator, Dante is given the assignment of collecting Aspen Lockhart’s soul for heaven. To complete this assignment, Dante must leave Charlie to go to Colorado, something he is not looking forward to. After meeting Aspen, Dante realizes that Aspen is a female version of him. Parties, booze, and breaking rules.

Soon after Charlie and company arrive to Colorado, Aspen learns the truth about Dante and how he was sent to collect her soul. Aspen believes that her soul cannot be saved but when Dante decides to retrieve Charlie’s soul from hell, Aspen volunteers to go with him saying that she was meant to help. As Dante and Aspen venture into hell, they try to avoid other collectors and demons. However, one doesn’t make it out while the other learns of their destiny.
