Review: Servant by Kate Nash
Rating: 4 out of 5

Servant by Kate Nash was definitely not the story that I was expecting.  I did not pay enough attention to the blurb about the book and since I am not a fan of fantasy, this book was rather hard for me to read.  Obadiah and a group of fellow angels become Deacons and are sent to earth to lead mankind back to God.  Each Deacon is also searching for his Deaconess.  I definitely believe in angels and I also believe that sometimes an angel comes to earth and takes the form of a mortal to help someone in trouble.  However, I just cannot believe that the plot of this book could actually happen, I like my books to be believable.  After forcing myself to finish the book, I got to the end of the story and it does not end, it just stops.  I love series but I want each book to be able to stand alone and this one certainly does not.  It is just my opinion, but I feel that the author should leave the reader feeling good or bad about the ending but not leave the reader hanging until the next book comes out.Even though the book was not my cup of tea, it was well written with the characters and the dialogue being well developed.  All the scenes came to life and I could almost feel myself being drawn into the action even though I found it unbelievable.  I did like that throughout the entire story, Christian ideals and principles were upheld.  I like to give five star to books but to do that it has to be a story that I really love and needs a satisfactory ending.  Since this one is fantasy and not to my liking, and just stopped instead of ending, I cannot in all honesty give it five stars but since it was well written I will give it four stars.I recommend this book only if you are a lover of Christian fantasy.Thanks to the author, Kate Nash, for providing me with a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
