Bad Book Review 06 (The Guardian, Chapter 07) · 8:43pm Jul 19th, 2019
Our quest for coherent plot continues!
Our quest for coherent plot continues!
Previously on Ink Hoof's Book Review: we were introduced to Christina Urbain and her (maybe) six (?) year old son Joseph. Cameron tells Kirkland that their killer is Gabriel, a rogue guardian angel who is convincing people to kill themselves as an act of mercy, Cameron is an angel to stop him, and Kirkland thinks the whole thing is preposterous.
Before I get to the story, I first want to announce a decision. I am going to continue with the other two stories included in the book, but I'm going to take a break. Maybe October? Sooner, later. Not entirely sure. So for those who want to know, yes, you will be able to find out the rest without having to look for the book yourself.
Okay. So, let's get to it.
I'm starting to doubt the idea of reviewing the entire book. I may just finish the first story, then give single post summaries of the other two.
Anyway, last time, we were actually given some backstory for are killer angel, learning he was once a human child that had been forced to fight in a war at the age of six.
And so we reach, the final chapter. The one where everything is supposed to culminate and wrap up. In this case, both the climax, and the denouement.
A lot of pressure for FOUR PAGES, don't you think?
Welcome back fans and masochists (I'm not judging), to another book review post.
(So, it turns out this chapter has a bit of controversial subject talked about. Just a heads up.)
And we continue our (less than) exciting expedition into the world of a murderous angel.
Last time, Cameron concluded that Gabriel was going to attack a prayer meeting, and Kirkland lost it, threatening a handcuffed man with a gun until the man said he didn't want to die.
Last time, a reporter showed up at the police station, asking about the deaths, Cameron denies the existence of a supernatural serial killer, but tells the reporter to tell people not to pray. Cameron then goes and sees Kirkland, who is drunk and blaming himself for failing to save the victims.
Some see 13 as unlucky, others, the opposite. I'm not feeling well, so I might try to summarize this more than usual.
In our last review, Cameron had sex with Christina Urbain, then the two of them went to the house of the babysitter, where Gabriel cut the power, broke in, and killed the sitter, Karen, while indicating that he was going after Joseph as well.
Life goes on, and so do we. Just how we do it is no mystery.
Just keep readin'. Just keep readin'.
Last time, our killer angel, Gabriel, went after Christina in her home, only to be stopped by Cameron. He then used his powers on a woman named Tammi, who tried to seduce Father Stephen, then killed herself in front of him when that failed.
No new chapter today. Doing something a little different.
Welcome back to the ten or so of you who are following along. Time for another chapter. Well, chapters. With how short they've been and how little's been happening, I'm going to start combining them for some.
In our last chapter, it was noticed that there had been a sudden rise in members of the clergy either committing suicide or dying mysteriously. Now, the chief has ordered Kirkland to investigate.
Let's see what clues he picks up as we get into chapter five.
Welcome back to another chapter look through of Lia Scott Price's The Guardian.
In a our last chapter review, we were finally introduced to the mysterious man in black responsible for the deaths: Gabriel. Gabriel convinced a grieving Lupe to let him help her be free of the pain and go to a better place by stabbing herself in the stomach with a butcher knife.
