Review: Religious. Unexpectedly.

Like another reviewer I downloaded this without being aware that it was religiously oriented. I dislike real religion, and I rarely download a book that is so overt in it's god references. That being said I am fine with religion in some situations, or if it is not a focus of the story. I even have a few books that are strong with the god stuff so I have to chalk up my dislike of this book to the way the author presents her god and the faith associated with it. What I expected was a creepy novel about spirits and talking to the dead, I was not expecting the religion that went with it. I also had some issues with the main character, as well as the views described within the text. I didn't like the choice aspects this author weaves into her story and I didn't like the main character and in general her attitude. This book was not my cup of tea, and by simply including in the description a bit about the "faith" aspect of this story I would have been able to at least go in with an idea that I may be slightly annoyed, as it was there was not only no warning of the annoyance to come but the presentation of that aspect was then flawed on it's own. At least with some warning it may have gotten two stars. As it was, my annoyances were so great that if I could give no stars I would.
