“Gabriel’s inferno” is the first book in a trilogy by Sylvain Reynard. These books have been around for a while and the Spanish blogger and YouTuber “mayrayamonte” recommended them.

Julia starts her new year at the Toronto’s university to specialize in Dante. She enrolls into the professor Emerson’s seminar and would like him to be his thesis supervisor since he is the best at the university. However, their relationship does not start right. Since the beginning, they have a connection and only Julia knows the reason behind it.

“Gabriel’s inferno” was a fantastic compelling book. It got to me from the very beginning and I devoured it despite its length. It is a romantic book that has a lot of literature reference on it, even some things written in Italian, which I liked since I know Italian. I enjoyed the fact that both characters had a background that made them special and interesting. I really liked that despite the fact that both suffer a development in their personalities you still can see the person they were at times, I think this made the book more believable, as even when a person changes their character or way of acting in some aspect their impulse to act the old way is still there and it surges at times. I liked that even when both the characters grow they do not do it in the same way, neither at the same pace.

I have to say, though, that they are some topics and not really original aspects in this book, however I think when you read these kinds of books any little change is important, and makes the book have its own personality.

I liked the way the author is capable of holding secrets and tell things allowing the characters to hold things back. I also liked the other characters that surrounded the main two lovers. Paul, who becomes a really important friend for Julia is an interesting character and the personification of goodness. Christa’s character is interesting and somehow, I wanted to learn more about her and the reason behind her obsession with the professor.

In conclusion, “Gabriel’s inferno” was a really good book I recommend to anyone looking for an adult romance with deep characters twists and turns.
