Gabrielle Cody is bound by God to slay demons, to remove
evil from earth. People may see a man or a woman, however,
when Gaby looks at them, she sees them as they really are.
When evil is near, something inexplicable occurs. Gaby
morphs into a stronger, single-minded force of herself who
moves on autopilot straight to the source of evil where she
inflicts a brutal, bloody death sentence on the demon.
Detective Luther Cross is searching for Gaby. He finds her
hiding out in a rundown hotel where she has made it her
personal mission to protect the prostitutes from harm. When
the word gets out that a woman with a knife beat up
a "john" who was too rough with a prostitute, Luther knows
it is Gaby. Gaby intrigues Luther. He is sexually attracted
to her and drawn to her almost to the point of obsession.
Gaby has never known love. Her life does not allow her the
luxury to feel as a woman should.
Although she has finally accepted her mission in life,
seeing Luther reminds her of the humanity inside of her and
the closeness that they have shared in the recent past.
When he is near, she loses her edge. She can't allow him to
remain in her life, but she knows the loss she will feel
when she moves on. Luther works with the reluctant Gaby to
track down someone who is kidnapping and killing
prostitutes. This time it's not just their hearts that
will break -- their lives are in danger.
SERVANT: THE ACCEPTANCE by L.L. Foster is the
second book in this series. Gaby is both innocent and wise
beyond her 21 years. She has experienced a life that would
give anyone else nightmares. Foster has created this tough-
mouthed, self-confident heroine, who follows the will of
God through the wielding of a strong knife, yet touches a
chord in your heart with her innocence in most matters that
we take for granted. The hero Luther is a persistent and
honorable man who sees beyond the stereotypical cover Gaby
uses to blend into the inner-city, to see the beautiful
strong person inside her. Foster writes with skill,
artfully creating a premise that is bound to capture the
readers' attention. For information on her previous book,
see my review of SERVANT: THE AWAKENING.
Gabrielle Cody has accepted her destiny as God’s warrior,
charged to destroy all evil, but she wasn’t prepared to see
Detective Luther Cross ever again. He’s the beacon of
reality in her life, the one thing that makes her feel
human, like a real woman.
But Gaby must resist
involvement with Luther now, for she is protecting
streetwalkers. Her life of retribution is far too
dangerous, and this time, it’s not just their hearts that
won’t come out unscathed.
