Messengers
Jake Daniels was involved in a really bad car accident. One that he should not have survived. It might have been better if Jake had died. Since the accident, Jake has been experiencing some odd symptoms. One is the reoccurring dream that he has of the accident that involves Jake disemboweled from himself and mysterious woman who is trying to tell Jake something. Jake feels a strong pull to learn the truth behind the accident and who the mysterious woman is and her involvement.Jake goes on a road trip to interview the other people who saw or were in the accident like Jimmy Harrison, the driver. Jake is not very religious but he could not deny some of the signsâ€¦the blinding lights, the woman, the 911 call prior to the accident. Jake starts researching on the topic of angels.This book had a bit of the Mothman Prophecies feel to it. The movie that featured Richard Gere and Debra Messing. It had a nice, steady, and even pace to the story line. I like seeing how Jake processed all the information and the experiences that he heard from other people that he met and interviewed. Though for those who are not very religious as well, you might not like this book. The story does tend to come off a little preachy, with references to scripture. Jake was a good character. I like that he started out with no subjection to the matter of angels and kept an open mind. I just kept reading and telling myself just one more sentence, just one more sentence. Messengers is worth your time and money. --Cheryl's Book NookIf you have ever wondered about angels and the people that they touch, this novel is spellbinding. You are drawn into a story rich with symbolism and questions. I could definitely place myself in the main characters shoes wondering how I would react in a situation like they had gone through. I found myself saying, I would ask that too!At the same time, this book looks at the differences between angels and demons and how one person has to do what he can to to save the world and bring together the fractured society that has come to surround the society that the reader finds in this book.I found this book to be engaging and a book that I could not put down. I would highly recommend this book to all! --Dad of Divas
