"I knew where my final destination would be; 

I think I had always known."

Ahhhh....Gabriel....Seriously...I have been obsessed with this series since I first opened the pages of Lailah. I loved the whole light and dark struggle and the breath-taking romance between Lailah and Gabriel...So I really couldn't wait to start Gabriel!

Gabriel picks up right where Lailah left off. Lailah is struggling to get her memory back and as pieces begin to come back to her...she begins to realize she has feelings for both Gabriel and Jonah. Gabriel, the angel...the light side is Lailah's true love but yet on the other side is Jonah, the vampire...the dark side and Lailah is drawn to him almost as much as she is Gabriel. 

This book is really focused on Lailah and the path she chooses and how her decisions will affect her and those around her for the rest of her life. She is so torn and is trying to decide whether she can accept both the light and dark side and if she can manage to live with them both. 

There is also a lot of character development in this book and we learn more background about other characters and I loved this aspect because there are other characters in this book that I really enjoyed learning about. 

Gabriel is all about forbidden love, supernatural romance, and plenty of suspense. I absolutely LOVED Lailah and Gabriel did not disappoint. I cannot wait to read the conclusion to this series and see just where Lailah's journey will end. I am so completely obsessed with Nikki Kelly and cannot wait to read more from this amazing author!!!

He spun me around suddenly, clutching me by the small of my back. He hoisted me off the floor, closing the gap between us. Now at eye level with him, he rubbed the tip of his nose against my cheek, and with a frustrated, impatient force, met his lips with mine. 

I refused him, pressing my palms into his hard chest and replanting my feet on the floor. “It was my blood before, only ever my blood. That’s what you said. That’s all it is now.” 

His hazel eyes darted around my face, settling on my lip, which was twitching. Bringing his hands to the back of his neck, he looked trapped. “I, it’s—” 

I cut him off. “That’s all it is now, Jonah.” I tried to steady my warbling voice. “There is no other reason you would feel compelled to kiss someone that . . . that tastes like death.” 

I marched out of the room but he came after me. “If you don’t drink, and soon, you are going to die.” 

This time I would not let him have the last word. I carefully descended the stairs and peered back over my shoulder before his resentful, perfect face could disappear out of view. “It’s my decision, my choice. You will respect it.”

The girl knows she’s different. She doesn’t age. She has no family. She has visions of a past life, but no clear clues as to what she is, or where she comes from. But there is a face in her dreams – a light that breaks through the darkness. She knows his name is Gabriel.
On her way home from work, the girl encounters an injured stranger whose name is Jonah. Soon, she will understand that Jonah belongs to a generation of Vampires that serve even darker forces. Jonah and the few like him, are fighting with help from an unlikely ally – a rogue Angel, named Gabriel.
In the crossfire between good and evil, love and hate, and life and death, the girl learns her name: Lailah. But when the lines between black and white begin to blur, where in the spectrum will she find her place? And with whom?
Gabriel and Jonah both want to protect her. But Lailah will have to fight her own battle to find out who she truly is.
