You can’t let me start the next one.” And I haven’t…yet. I texted friends, saying, “Don’t let me start the next one. Just a warning, though…you’ll want to have book #2 handy, because Servant ends in a cliffhanger! When I read the last few lines, I almost threw my eReader across the room. The story kept me guessing, all the way till the final few sentences. And by shoving so many characters into one situation, that also effectively displayed how different all the characters in the novel were. Instead, snippets slipped during different scenes in the novel. There was no “bar talk” where all the characters sat down and verbally told their stories. I enjoyed the characters and how Bailey revealed their traits. Writing suspense successfully is very hard to do, but Bailey does it almost flawlessly. Full of heart-pounding action and mystery that is so thought-out that my mind barely wraps around it. It took me a while to read Servant, which I think contributed toward any negative feelings I had toward it. The Positive: An Intoxicating Plot & Strong Characters Who were Bobby, Phil, Randy, and Graham, and how did they all fit together? And why was “Servant” capitalized? What did that mean? I had to find out. From the very first page, Bailey drew me in and had me asking questions. Bailey’s work, and I must say, I am impressed. When Bobby falls under spiritual attack following the encounter, he must choose between saving others and saving himself. He discovers a world of evil spirits and tormented souls when he becomes entangled in a madman's plot to kill the Servant, a man chosen by God to exorcise demons from the possessed. What Bobby doesn't foresee is that rescuing a stranger from death will place him in the line of fire. Plagued with premonitions of disaster, he fights to save others’ lives.
