Thank you for giving me a chance to review Gabriel’s promise. I loved the book! I didn’t want it to end. The love Gabriel and Julia have is so special. I want another book on this couple and baby Clare. I will never look at pink flamingos again and not laugh.

I was sooo looking forward to this book! I loved the previous books in this series. I was hoping that I would love this book just as much. I found myself getting bored while reading. Just when you thought this book was finally going somewhere it didn't go anywhere. So much build up to nothing. I am hoping that this book was a set up for another book in the series. This book will leave you with a lot of questions and no answers. If there is another book I will definitely give it a try because I need closure!!

This is the ARC of the fourth book in the Gabriel series. I liked it., I was hoping for a few hundred more pages but pleased with the results.

Hugely disappointed in this book. I read and loved the initial 3 Gabriel books, they were riveting and I couldn't put them down. This was slow and quite frankly boring. Finally at about the 50% point the pacing picked up but the book ended with a whole lot of unanswered questions. I was under the impression this was an extended epilogue to the initial series, but it felt more like the beginning of a new series and it's not one I am interested in continuing.

I'm sad I didn't love this book. It was good but the writing felt off. I loved seeing the characters again but the story just didn't flow for me. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the Arc

2.5 STARS

As a huge fan of Gabriel's Inferno series, this must be one of the hardest review I have ever written.

It has been years since I have read initial trilogy so it is hard to recall the details. But I clearly remember beautiful prose, easy flow of the story and emotional impact that books had on me. Sadly, all these aspects are completely missing in this fourth instalment. Dialogues felt rigid and forced, storyline dragged. So even though it was lovely to revisit my beloved characters, I can't help but feel that this book has no added value to the series.

Moreover, all that unnecessary drama that was brought on just for the sake of the drama made this novel look cheap in comparison with the perfection that were first three books. Especially, considering that some parts of the storyline were not even resolved by the end of this book. Which means that (a) there is going to be fifth book or (b) Mr. Reynard did kind of a sloppy job and left some parts with open-ended ending. Either way I am not happy with the result.

Don't take me wrong, there were some good parts but nothing that would make my heart race as was common with previous books. So if you are huge fan of this series like myself, I suggest to give this book a chance to see for yourself. Maybe you will like it better than I did. But make sure to lower your expectations...
