Although, I never encountered any hot demons or scary priests, for that matter. But, oh, the intrigue with the former priest who's the father? Hmmm. At one of the Catholic grade schools that I attended there were two young, handsome priests who drove sports cars and always had a lady next to him. He definitely wasn't abiding to his vows! The mothers picking up their kids were always trying to get their attention, as well.

I really liked how Jael's dad was an intrinsic part to the story as well:)<br /><br />Missie - Interesting is a good word for it. There were things that were great and things that made me shiver a bit. Like what happened to her mom.<br /><br />Hafsah - I do usually as well, and even though religion played a role, it didn't bother me as much in this one:)<br /><br />Sherry - You're welcome!<br /><br />Rummanah - I liked that Jael was not the evil demon her Catholic teachings would paint her as. It was fun to see how she dealt with it:)<br /><br />Mary - It's definitely a book you need to be in the mood for, not a light read in the least!<br /><br />Juju - Thanks!<br /><br />Alison - I enjoyed her as a character and watching her relationship with her father change was a highlight:)<br /><br />Kris - Nice! You'll have to let me know what you think of it!<br /><br />Jen - I don't either. Emily Rose scared the ever-loving snot out of me.
