Review: The Seraph Contingency

So, an angel walks into a bar in Purgatory . . . gets kidnapped . . . gets her wings stolen by a demoness looking to make a fashion statement at a disco party in hell . . . is rescued by a different demon . . . and ends up stranded in Southern California due to the inadvertent interference of an aspiring, young Korean satanist.  Then, things start getting freaky.

Jennifer Fales' The Seraph Contingency: Anael's Tale (Outskirts Press, 2012) is so ridiculous it just might be a masterpiece.  At times cringe worthy, at times thought provoking, the tale is never boring.  If you have a tendency to take life, yourself, and the universe seriously, you probably ought to just skip this one.  If you can relax and enjoy the ride, however, The Seraph Contingency is a hoot.

I received a complimentary copy of The Seraph Contingency to facilitate my review.  No other compensation was received.  For full disclosure, see the sidebar.

That in itself is a book.
Poor Angel.
Goes to show Angels never stand a chance anywhere. They don't know how to defend themselves.

I'm sticking with the Succubus and Saint Creola.

Holy shoot. Sounds like something I would really enjoy reading. I'm looking into seeing about getting a digital copy asap! Need to line up another book to read as soon as I finish up Leviathan Wakes.

The plot of the book intrigues me. I think this book will definitely not bore me. Thanks for providing a sneak peek.
