This story was OK.  It was a pretty common good v. evil tale, without a great deal of complexity to story or characters.  It did have a lot of blatant Christian imagery.What killed it for me was that the author just did not know how to use words.  Whether she just overstretched her vocabulary or resorted to careless thesaurus usage, there were so many misused words that I spent a lot if time in confusion.  She regularly uses "correspondence" as a synonym for "conversation," for example, which sent me looking for letters several times before I realized she had just decided to ignore the meaning of the word because she liked the sound of it.This goes on throughout the book, but it really made me laugh when she misused the word "crucifix" (it does not mean "cross on which someone is to be crucified.")  The christian imagery in the scene was so obvious, you'd think she would have gotten that word right!So, it was readable, but I remember the word errors better than I remember the story.
