Other times I felt myself swept away by the expertly written words that had my brow furrowing in confusion, for I had no clue what they were even talking about-lol. How can I possibly write a review that will do justice to this masterpiece? There were times I felt myself sighing in a contented state of euphoria when Gabriel would go out of his way to show Julia she wasn’t alone, that there was someone else in the world who cared for her well being, even if they could never really be in a relationship. Sometimes books come along where I’m struck speechless, and this is definitely one of them. “For the rest of my life, I’ll dream of hearing your voice breathe my name.” I suppose I had thought this was an erotic novel, which isn’t my favorite genre in any way, shape, or form-so I chose to ignore the hype that surrounded GI, isolating myself from a story that genuinely transported me to another world, a world where I was completely content to be away from reality. And two troubled, conflicted minds finally came to rest.Ī completely unexpected surprise, I found myself jumping on the Gabriel bandwagon, regretting every day that I chose to skip over this magnificent sea of poetically written words. Two heartbeats synchronized when they recognized one another. Sighs commingled in the dark as two souls breathed as one. Lazy but curious hands caressed naked skin, exploring gently but chastely. The author is also very probably male, rather than female.Gabriel's Inferno ( Gabriel's Inferno #1) While the tale may be highly unbelievable and, at times, misogynistic, the book itself is well written, decently researched and tells a much sweeter romantic tale, often drawing on elements of Dante's Divine Comedy in the process. Fortunately, however, this is one difference that sets Gabriel's Inferno apart from it's companion. ( Gabriel's Inferno started out as a Twilight fanfiction titled The University of Edward Masson.) Both authors use pseudonyms.

Both started out as Twilight fanfictions. Both novels were originally published in niche markets before the worldwide rights were picked up by major publishing houses.

Both novels tell the highly unbelievable story of a young virgin who falls hopelessly in love with incredibly wealthy men with dark pasts and kinky sexual fetishes. However, this has proven to be a somewhat difficult task as, on the surface at least, the similarities are many. To be honest, I would really like to review Gabriel's Inferno without making comparisons to a certain other title that belongs to the same genre.
