Angels and Assasins

I am in the midst of a new book by Anne Rice called Angel Time. The book is 371 pages. If you are into Christian Theology then stories about angels which are covered in this piece will appeal to you. I have to admit this is not your typical angel story. There are no cute fluffy winged beings here.

The story focuses on the plight of Toby O'Dare-aka Lucky Fox- who is a contract hit man.His life revolves around violence and taking of lives until one day he meets a Seraph. His childhood dream of becoming a priest finds redemption as the Seraph by the name of Malchiah gives him an assignment that will take him through time. In a way this reminds me of Dante's Divine Comedy.

I will tell you about it when I am done. So far it's great to read something from Anne Rice once again. Her prose has always been seductive and hypnotic.
