review 1: Warriors of the Cross proved to be everything the very promising blurb said and much more! Allison LaCrosse has a gift of healing that can bring patients in critical condition back from the brink of death. At the same time she is discovering that she might have other psychic abilities stemming from this healing power. Where there is light and healing however, there will always be darkness and evil to counter it.This book had my attention from the word go and kept me turning the pages up to the almost cliff-hanger ending. Although there are moments of unbearable suspense, the story is comfortably paced and gives the reader ample time to get acquainted with all the key characters and their world. The characters are well-described and uniquely crafted; the kind of charact... moreers a reader gets to like as though they were real people. As the story contains very accurate detailed descriptions of medical procedures and hospital protocol, I was extremely impressed with the amount of research the author must have put into this book. The romance in Warriors of the Cross is extensive but tastefully written. The clichéd old love triangle, of which there are at least two in this book, is so uniquely and maturely handled that I actually thoroughly enjoyed it and found myself choosing sides. Deeply spiritual and full of the love that emanates from most of the key characters, this story touched me profoundly. For a read filled with excitement and a little suspense balanced by a gentle depth and a wry touch of humor, I highly recommend Warriors of the Cross and happily give it and the gifted author five stars.

review 2: WARNING: SPOILER ALERT at the endThe story was about Allie, a medical resident, and her slow realization that with her touch, she can save people from death. Other characters include Brody (who figures quite prominently) and Clark (her landlord). The book started off very slow, gave lots of background, and only got good toward the very end. The characters were fleshed out very well, but at times, that even became tedious. I found the premise to be believable as when reading fantasy, you suspend all belief.That said, I found this book extremely hard to read. It was written with an attempt at accenting some of the characters' speech (which I find off-putting & was only applied to a very few), sentences didn't flow & were overly dramtic & choppy, emotions were all over the place & hard to pin down, she went into tedious detail over seemingly insignificant parts of the story, and time & again I found myself having to go back and re-read pages just to figure out what was going on. At times, it seemed as if the main character (who was also narrating the story) made contradictions about herself from one sentence to the next. It made for an extremely frustrating read.The closer the book was to the end, the better it began to get. Once you got past the flowerly, choppy speech, the storyline became interesting and made you want to turn the page to read more. SPOILER ALERT: The story ends in a cliff hanger.....how badly was Allie injured in the attack, how will she (& Brody) cope with their God-given ability, how will they overcome the fact that The Sect (the evil in this book) is now aware that Allie lives (they believed her to have died at birth) & is out to kill her? Will their love for each other overcome all else? Will evil (The Sect) prevail or will goodness (The Warriors) overcome? less
