Servant, Book Two,
By
This review is from: Servant: The Acceptance (Mass Market Paperback)
Gabrielle "Gaby" Cody now lives in another section of town. A more dangerous and seedy part. Without meaning to, Gaby has become the protector of the street walkers that reside in her run down building. She never thought Detective Luther Cross would find her, but he did. Unfortunately, Luther showed up right when her Paladin senses got a target on pure evil in the form of a ten-year-old boy. Because of Luther, the boy got away. Gaby may not know why the boy was targeted, but she knew evil when she was near it. There are bad people, and then there are true corruptions passing themselves off as human. To Gaby, they do not deserve rehabilitation or life in prison. They do not even deserve an easy death. Gaby destroys whatever corruptions God tells her to with no questions asked. And that boy definitely deserved Gaby's special attentions.The boy was not what he appeared to be. Oren was a master of disguise and more evil than Gaby could possibly have imagined. The recent deaths of street walkers was due to Oren and his aunt and uncle. With the latest girl dead, Oren chose Bliss to be next. Circumstances changed that plan. Oren wanted Gaby since she would last much longer. Luther kept getting in the way though. Then there was Gaby's friend, Morty, and his new girlfriend, Detective Ann Kennedy. Gaby seemed to have surrounded herself with cops. But Oren was determined. **** Not as good as the first book in the series, but still wonderful. Tough and loner Gaby is starting to change due to her new friends. Readers get to watch Gaby as she learns that God does not intend to keep her apart from her humanity. Gaby gives up a few of her special secrets to Luther and I have to give the detective credit, he is keeping an open mind. I enjoy the fact that Gaby is still a mystery to him. Morty is no longer the goofy nerd from book one. Since Morty found his purpose in life, he has changed. Ann is perfect for him too. With Morty, Ann, and Bliss at her back, and Luther beside her, Gaby is morphing into an amazing lady. **** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

Great story & Characters but needed a dictionary to get through!,
By E. Clifford "Farscapegirl" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Servant: The Acceptance (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoy Lori Foster's books (aka L.L. Foster)and this new series by her is great and shows wonderful potential as a series. Good plot, interesting characters, wonderful tension and chemistry between the main and secondary characters, but the reason I only gave it 3 stars is because I kept having to stop and pick up my dictionary to figure out what the hell was happening! I actually wrote down the words that dragged me away from the story, there were 31!I feel I am a fairly well read, intelligent human being. But the words used were so grandiose they actually took away from the story, not added to it as I'm sure the author and editor hoped to achieve with an apparent overuse of a thesaurus. I'm always happy to learn new words, but I felt I was getting beat over the head with the collegiate word use and placement . . . Some examples I copied are these: "Annoying sedulousness", "Exigous weight", "endogenous perception", "calumnious statement", "And so went the banausic nature of her life." I hope her next book tones down the over the top words, so the flow will be better! I really like this heroine, but I don't think I can sit through another grammar course like this last book. 28 of 30 people found the following review helpful

was this a novel or a spelling test?,
By Dawn Curts - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Servant: The Acceptance (Mass Market Paperback)
The chronicle was superlative. The phraseology was analogous to someone stimulating their thesaurus and procuring the most unintelligible utterances obtainable.Get the picture? When I could get past all of the hundred dollar words, it was a great story!!!!! I don't know how the words got past the editor, but if the next volume is written the same way, I won't be going back for more. At times it got so bad I actually tried to put simple words in their place just so the text would flow better. Someone needs to take away her "Word-A-Day" toilet paper! 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful

Servant: The Acceptance,
By Tina Stringfellow - Published on Amazon.com
I was actually going to comment on this myself. I enjoyed the story a lot, but the high level vocabulary throughout the book seemed excessive and unnecessary. Tended to take away from the story as I sat thinking through the vocabulary to decide what was being said. I must say I have read master's thesis with less complicated vocabulary.
