Katherine Geryon has her entire life planned out for her. Her father is the co-founder of Geryon & Light, a lucrative investment firm that Katherine will someday head. Her mother, now deceased, ensured Katherine knew every detail of social etiquette and how to always act the part of a proper lady. And Katherine's picture perfect condo, with routine maid service, has all the comforts and amenities that money can buy. God's Eye A. J. Scudiere Griffyn Ink Publishing October 2011 A pity that money can't buy peace of mind as Katherine finds herself suddenly questioning her sanity. Vivid nightmares haunt Katherine every night, and mysterious animals begin appearing in her condo, leaving only trails of ash as proof they were ever there. Messages begin appearing on her bathroom mirror, and Katherine begins to have visions of terrible, impossible creatures doing battle in the streets and in her home. Just as things appear darkest, two charismatic men, Zachary and Allistair, appear in her life and attempt to vie for her affection. But while Katherine is torn between them both, what she doesn't realize is that her choices may decide the fate of her very soul. Unfortunately it's actually a little hard to care about poor Katherine and her problems when she's surrounded by money and expensive clothing. The sense of otherworldliness (angels, demons, and phantom animals) is often overshadowed by Katherine's inability to sleep with just one man at a time, making a good portion of the book read like a trashy romance novel. The wording and descriptions are beautifully crafted, but the majority of the novel is told in a third-person objective style with very little dialogue and a vague sense of distance between the reader and the characters. We are forever hovering just a little too high over Katherine and her life to really care about what is going on and the decisions she is making The characterizations suffer as a result. We are constantly told and retold how we should be viewing these characters as they evolve and change. But by the fifth or sixth retelling of Katherine's nature, I had pretty much already decided how I wanted to view her, and my personal description wasn't nearly as favorable as the author's. The truth is that I wanted to get into this book, and I wanted to care. But underneath the sex, fantasy, and outright horror is a pretty heavy-handed message about doing what is right and being responsible for the outcome of your choices. Which in and of itself wouldn't be so bad, except I felt so far removed from the story that I honestly couldn't have cared less about the characters or their fates. All in all, the story and writing are quite good, but the delivery and style leave much to be desired.
