"Devil May Cry novel? Yeah the hell right!" were the words that came out of my mouth at first. I honestly did not think it would be anything special. No matter how much I love those games, I couldn't see the action being put into words. Well I was very wrong, the moment I picked up the first novel I was hooked. The story was written very tongue-in-cheek just how DMC should be! I couldn't stop reading it and ended up finishing it in a day practically. Same thing happened with the second novel as well. The story engaged me with the way Dante talked,and how the characters interacted. So for any of you DMC fans out there give these two novels a chance. I can assure you that you won't regret it.

Synopsis

Volume 1 Tony is a rough-and-tumble jack-of-all-trades with a haunted past. His encounter with Gilver, a mysterious swordsman swathed in bandages, changes his life dramatically for the worse. Tony is thrust into the dark underworld of an unsolvable case, separated from his partner and his loved ones, and pushed over the edge of desperation. Who's forcing him into a corner? What do they hope to achieve? Volume 2 Dante the giant sword, two-gun toting devil hunter has earned the nickname "Devil May Cry" after mercilessly killing any and every undead creature in his path. Now, he is on a mission for an evil idol known as The Beast Head. But little does Dante know that this mission brings him closer to his eternal enemy. (Source: Tokyopop)

I usually don't see many people in the DMC fandom who have read this novel or know of its existence but don't know what they are missing. Yeah the novel stopped being canonical since DMC 3 was released but 50% of the facts are taken as canon due to mentions in the other games or even in the anime. If you want to know a little more about Dante and his past in redgrave I definitely recommend it, we know some different facets of him and how he got his famous ebony and ivory weapons so please read it is another very interesting story aboutDevil May Cry series
