Gladly Beyond, book review

Gladly Beyond by Nichole Van
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 - I had no idea how much I enjoyed paranormal themes in a book that tickled the romantic emotions. For those who try to stay away from sexualized and sweaty bedroom scenes in your literature, this book is clean. I wouldn't give it to a teen because she might start thinking all interactions with men will be destiny like the characters in this book. However, I thought the writing was gripping, the story-line was entertaining, and the supernatural elements were intriguing.

The characters are pretty well fleshed out, but I would like to know how Dante turned out to be so perfect. I guess that's what we think we're looking for, or that he's perfect for Claire and so his flaws fall away?

Ho adorato the art, Florence, and Italian elements. They were so rich and so obviously from first hand knowledge. Art lovers and lovers of that warm Italian glow will swoon over these pages.

I only suspected the ending a few pages before it happened and I love it when an author manages that. I've already started reading number two because I kind of fell in love with Branwell a little....
