Seraph

By: Cheryl P. Fallin

Hospitals across the nation have had SERAPH implemented. SERAPH is a robot who performs medical care. This decreases the need for doctors in the hospital and the costs. Dr. Abby McLeod, and her dad, both realize that there’s something wrong and SERAPH isn’t working the way that it should. So she enlists the help of her ex-fiance, Pete Masters, to help her hack into the SERAPH program. This sets off a series of events where they both are being chased by the FBI and another group of people. What is happening with SERPAH, who isn’t going to make it out alive – and who will?

I read this book for a book club. One of our members met this author and told us about her book. So we decided to read it. The concept of it seems great – robot medical thriller? Yes please!

Unfortunately, I didn’t care for the execution of the book. The writing was fine, it is easy to read. But there are SO many characters, and it’s hard to keep track of them. The book is also less than 400 pages, but it felt so much longer. I think that’s because the set-up took some time. I do realize that I have to suspend some belief for this book, as most books, and I’m okay with that. But what gets me is that someone didn’t seem to think that something was wrong sooner.

There was a lot of action at the end, and I really enjoyed that. I do think with some additional editing, this could be a fantastic book!
