Review for Gabriel (Path of Angels - Book 4) by Patricia Josephine



Blurb:

The end is in sight.

To stop Uriel from freeing Lucifer, Gabriel and his brothers must fall and go to Hell. It is a sacrifice Gabriel is not entirely ready to make. Will he fight alongside his brothers or forge his own path? There is only one choice.

Alexander doesn’t want to help Uriel nor does he trust him, but the angel has promised him a better life. He swore to protect Charlie, and he’ll do whatever it takes. When he meets the archangels and learns the depth of Uriel’s lies, he understands the true meaning of sacrifice. If there’s any hope of stopping Lucifer from being freed, Alexander, Charlie, Zephyr and Lake will have to get to Hell and help Gabriel and his brothers in the fight against Uriel.

The path is finally ending, but the price may be too high.

MY REVIEW:

In this last installment of the Path of Angels series we have Gabriel's story. In the previous stories, Michael, Zadekiel, and Jophiel found love and fell from grace. The last brother left to fall, so they can battle Uriel and stop him from setting Lucifer free, is Gabriel. Gabriel's anger over being chosen, over his set path, and even in God is refreshing. But it is his anger that could be his downfall.

One thing I found interesting about Gabe (other than his anger) was the secrecy behind his divine gift or "weapon." All of his brothers have angelic gifts and weapons that they use when they fight Fallen, but we never so much as glimpsed what Gabe's could be. Until now. Another thing that held my interest were these nagging questions: what type of person would steal Gabe's heart? Who would he fall in love with? Well...not one but two! Which makes perfect sense.

This story also combines a sweet romance between Alexander Cook and Charlie, a girl who doesn't talk. Their relationship is super cute. I loved how Patricia Josephine used facial expressions and body language as Charlie's way to communicate. She was truly a lovely character with her silence, sparkling eyes, and blushing cheeks.

As Gabe and his brothers try to complete their destiny, there is blood shed, shocking turns, and new secrets. And I loved how all of the minor characters (not so minor in my eyes!) had bigger purposes.

Angels, love, and sacrifice. Hell, death, and pain. This story has it all! And it is my favorite one of the series. :)

Note: All of these stories contain love in one form or another: M/M, M/F, even M/M/F.

5 Stars!


About the Author:

Patricia Josephine never set out to become a writer. In fact, she never considered it an option during high school and college. She was all about art. On a whim, she wrote down a story bouncing in her head. That was the start of it and she hasn't regretted a moment. She writes young adult under the name Patricia Lynne.

Patricia lives with her husband in Michigan, hopes one day to have what will resemble a small petting zoo, has a fondness for dying her hair the colors of the rainbow, and an obsession with Doctor Who.

Alexander doesn’t want to help Uriel nor does he trust him, but the angel has promised him a better life. He swore to protect Charlie, and he’ll do whatever it takes. When he meets the archangels and learns the depth of Uriel’s lies, he understands the true meaning of sacrifice. If there’s any hope of stopping Lucifer from being freed, Alexander, Charlie, Zephyr and Lake will have to get to Hell and help Gabriel and his brothers in the fight against Uriel.

The path is finally ending, but the price may be too high.

  6. Interesting series; I hadn't heard of it before. Wishing success to the author on book 4 of it!

    I believe I had an encounter with an angel years ago. Brother's motorcycle had broken down; I went down to see if I could give him/girlfriend ride back. Crowded area where it broke down; we were just at the side of the street talking when a man came up, asked what was wrong, brother explained what happened. Guy walked over to the bike, did this or that with it and it started right away. Disappeared in the crowd before we could really thank him properly.

  13. I've always been fascinated by angels, and it's strange that they haven't been portrayed more often (at least I don't think they have). So it sounds like an interesting book! I also like the idea of an "angry" angel, because I always thought of angels being more relaxed and peaceful (with the exception of Lucifer, of course).

    1. Angels have never quite taken off like vampires or werewolves. I've read a few myself, but yeah, never really seen an angry angel that wasn't the bad guy.

  16. No, I haven't read this series. Another author from Michigan who writes about angels and "the end" is Rob Kroese and his "Mercury" series. Kroese is also very funny.
