Books I Am Thinking About Reading Soon...

I’ve read and heard many great reviews of these books, so hopefully they’re great reads! :)

Gabriel's Inferno by Sylvain Reynard

Gabriel Emerson is a well respected Dante specialist and professor in the University of Toronto. He barely tolerates his students, but his good looks make up for it, for his female students anyway. However, he wasn't the greatest child when he was younger, he has a troubled past that he'd rather forget. Then, Julia Mitchell enrolls as his graduate student. He is attracted to the sweet and innocent Julia, and she also feels familiar to him... as if he was his Beatrice.

When I first saw this book on the shelves, I concluded that it was another version of Fifty Shades of Grey. They have many similar things. A hot, troubled male that instantly becomes attracted to a sweet, innocent female. However, after that, they pretty much went their own separate plots. Gabriel's Inferno does not revolve around the guy being controlling when it comes to sex, it revolves around Gabriel, a guy with a troubled past who believes he does not deserve redemption. He believes that he does not have a soul and that he will never find light. Julia is there to help him realize that he deserves to be loved and that he can find the light.

The book is also in third person POV. I liked the book and it was a quick read. Gabriel starts off as a jerk, but as the novel progresses, you'll definitely begin to like him. You'll also love Gabriel's family.

The verdict: For those who thought that this was another Fifty Shades of Grey series, stop thinking that! I thought that and when I finally read the book, I was totally surprised to find them so different. If you like Fifty Shades of Grey, then you'll love this book too. If you hated Fifty Shades of Grey, you might find this a good read.

The next book in the series is Gabriel’s Rapture and I believe it’s out now!
