With her characters, Hale never hits a false note. But for me the most enjoyable aspects of the story were the two amazingly complex, yet subtly drawn, protagonists and the tender love story that develops between them. In addition it has a complex plot, part mystery and part thriller, that's never short on nailbiting moments. The basic premise, an alternate reality (resembling a gaslit, Victorian England) wherein a corrupt theocracy has called up the descendants of ancient Biblical demons (Prodigals) with promises of redemption only to ghettoize and oppress them, comments on a number of modern day social ills but never comes across as obviously didactic or preachy. Well for me, Wicked Gentlemen is one of those books.Īnd I am completely envious of any lover of dark fantasy and/or gay romance who has yet to crack the spine on this gem.įirst time novelist Ginn Hale has created a world so tangible, so complete, that I felt as if I could smell, see, taste and feel everything right along with her characters. Engaging, angsty love story and hot sex.ĭid you ever finish a book only to feel sad that you can never again open it anew and discover its delights for the very first time? Rarely if ever, I'm sure. The characters, both major and minor, are subtle and believable. Since I know there’s a huge contingent of gay fantasy fiction fans out there, I wanted to post my Amazon review and a link for anyone looking for something a little dark, a lot romantic and entirely unique.Īs I said in my own journal - the writing is lyrical. Ginn Hale’s imagination and inventiveness is, as always an awesome thing to behold.45.It’s been a while since I’ve been this excited about a novel, but Ginn Hale’s WICKED GENTLEMEN is utterly amazing.

My first impression after reading this book is there must be more of the adventures of Belimai Sykes and his lover Captain William Harper. > CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD EBOOK > CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD EBOOK <<<<
