Book Description
Longlisted for the Booker Prize Named a Most Anticipated Book of Summer 2021 by Entertainment Weekly, Time, and CrimeReads Named a Best Book of 2021 by Time An astonishing, visceral autobiographical novel about a young man straddling two cultures: the university where he is studying English Literature and the disregarded world of London gang warfare. The unforgettable narrator of this compelling, thought-provoking debut goes by two names in his two worlds. At the university he attends, he's Gabriel, a seemingly ordinary, partying student learning about morality at a distance. But in his life outside the classroom, he's Snoopz, a hard living member of London's gangs, well-acquainted with drugs, guns, stabbings, and robbery. Navigating these sides of himself, dealing with loving parents at the same time as treacherous, endangering friends and the looming threat of prison, he is forced to come to terms with who he really is and the life he's chosen for himself. In a distinct, lyrical urban slang all his own, author Gabriel Krauze brings to vivid life the underworld of his city and the destructive impact of toxic masculinity. Who They Was is a disturbing yet tender and perspective-altering account of the thrill of violence and the trauma it leaves behind. It is the story of inner cities everywhere, and of the lost boys who must find themselves in their tower blocks.

Gabriel's City: A Tale of Fables and Fortunes
Author: Laylah Hunter
Publisher: Riptide Publishing
ISBN: 1626491631
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
For spoiled young aristocrat Colin Harwood, the port city of Casmile is a buffet of easy pleasures. But when he steps into a pub brawl to help a dangerously outnumbered young man, he is drawn into the seedy underbelly of the city the young man calls home. Gabriel is a cutpurse and a knife for hire, practically an urban legend. His vision of Casmile is touched by a strange combination of faith and madness, driven by fairytale logic and a capacity for love that he often must suppress to survive. He's always worked alone, but when a dashing dragon who calls himself Colin saves him in a bar fight, he pulls Colin into his world. Gabriel's city is nothing like the refined, socialite existence that bored Colin senseless. Colin finds adventure and excitement there — and maybe even love. But with his layers of finery stripped away, nothing remains to protect him from poverty or danger — except Gabriel. So he must choose: go back to the civilized young man he once was, or fly free as Gabriel's dragon.

Heaven and Hell are going dark. The souls that keep the lights on for the occult are cut off. There are more pressing matters, an archangel has fallen, the Commander of Heaven is in love, and there is something far more sinister plaguing both realms. Death isn't going to help the two sides sort out their differences this time. No one can be certain if bringing individuals together won't surely tear the two sides apart. Leviathan is a Prince in Hell, and the one thing he loves the most is joining him, downstairs. Will her fall complete him? Or will he be left with more questions than answers? Michael is the commander of heaven, but he's been sneaking off to earth to meet with someone he cares for. He can't keep away from them. God has given him directions, but he's in a holding pattern until he can do anything more. Will his heart overrule his head? Has he already fallen too far? Gabriel is trying to help really, but when things get out of his hands he is forced to act. He will do anything he can to get Michael out of Command so he can take control. He has plans, and he is going to make his message VERY clear. Beelzebub is the Crown prince of Hell, ruling in Lucifer's stead. He's got too much on his plate and not enough cigarettes for his damned soul.

Gabriel's Gambit
Author: Patricia D. Eddy
Publisher: Patricia D. Eddy
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Willow In the past three weeks, I’ve gone from a boring adjunct college professor to seeing my own ghostly doppelgänger around every corner. I’m apparently a witch. Thanks, Universe. A little heads up would have been nice. Now, a secret government organization is trying to force me to wield my power for their own dark desires. Just as they’re about to bring the pain, I’m saved by an honest-to-God—yes, that God—angel. He smells nice. His voice is like spun gold. And when he holds me? I’m ashamed to admit…I swoon. But I can’t trust anyone—not even a celestial. I’m so screwed. Because somewhere between running for my life and running from him, I’ve fallen in love with my angel protector—and soon, he’ll have to go back home. Gabriel I am the Archangel Gabriel. Bringer of Justice, Revealer of Truth, and the Interpreter of the Almighty’s plan. I came to earth to help a demon, but the experience turned my life upside down. As it turns out, this realm is not all sunshine and rainbows. More like a swirling vortex of chaos. I have not seen a single harp. Wings are actively frowned upon. As are robes, for that matter. But humans—and their emotions—are fascinating. One human in particular. Willow Saunders. She’s in trouble. I alone can protect her. And I will.
