Title:  The Seraph Contingency: Anael's TaleAuthor:  Jennifer FalesReviewer:  George ShadowSummary:Anael is bored stiff in heaven. Yes, you guessed right. Anael is an angel, but a bored one at that. She decides to sneak out of heaven, because maybe she thinks that hell is a livelier place. Then, she is kidnapped by a conniving Duchess intent on pleasing Lucifer and her wings cut off! This means she can no longer go back to heaven if God decides to forgive her. Eventually, help comes in the shape of a transporter demon called Gaap, who has a flair for seamlessly moving across the three lower realms, while taking others with him. From here, the story gets more raucous, riddled with sacrilegious humor and an upbeat tempo only an author like Jennifer Fales can balance. The love twist in it is unintentional, and the funny scenes played out in its pages can only brighten a bad day.Social/Historical Context:The story's plot doesn't seem to be something new, but the edge it has over all other similar tales lie in the humor and blasphemous inroads its author has decided to make into Christianity's holiest of doctrines.Writing Style:A devote Christian must keep his/her beliefs aside before delving into this book, but then I think it is worth the risk, really. Humor and perverted wit bedevil the pages of this book, but this is a prerequisite for a wonderfully entertaining experience. Written in the third person and flawlessly presented, THE SERAPH CONTINGENCY: ANAEL'S TALE is filled with comedy alongside the backbone story, which in itself is a very amusing one.My Thoughts:Very daring, amusing and entertaining. Yes, I will recommend it to anyone who doesn't feel an innocuous attack on Christianity is a bad thing.George Shadow is the author of THE BLACK BOOK.
