Servant: The Awakening

Gabrielle ‘Gaby’ Cody kills. She kills demons. To most people they look like regular people but God has given her the ability to see what is inside. It is a divine obligation that doesn’t leave her the time or the inclination for a regular life.

Detective Luther Cross finds himself attracted to Gaby beyond any rhyme or reason. He offers her what she has never had - tenderness and love. But does she dare accept or will he interfere with her God given mission?

Dark, gritty, raw, and not at all easy to digest, SERVANT: THE AWAKENING by L.L. Foster offers the reader the opportunity to wallow in urban fantasy at its finest. As can be expected from the darker alter ego of Lori Foster, L.L. Foster delivers characters that are engaging yet in your face. Gaby has never had companions or friends so she is terrified of letting anyone get close to her. So terrified that she is will do her best to run them off, up to and including physically beating the crap out of them. Luther, however is more then her equal and he just doesn’t give up even though one has to wonder at times just why he puts up with Gaby. And let us not forget Mort, Gaby’s scrawny landlord who is so determined to be her friend and take care of her that he keeps coming back for more abuse. One has to wonder where these men come from. This reviewer doesn’t know of any man who would take what Gaby gives out and still come back for more.

This reviewer highly recommends SERVANT: THE AWAKENING by L.L. Foster to any reader like herself that devours urban fantasy. This looks to be the beginning of a really great series. Get your copy today and get in on the ground floor.
