Dantes Journey Book Review And ~~Giveaway~~

~~Bonus entry- Become a Subscriber of Mom Audience and get one extra entry!!~~

Sometimes fate smiles on us. Such was the case with JC
Marino's new book, Dante's Journey. Based on the same 14th century epic poem as the
new video game Dante's Inferno, the book from author JC Marino promises the same
thrills but in a unique and fresh way.

Dante's Journey ends up in the underworld, just like the original poem, but it takes a
very different route to get there. It starts out in 1961 Boston, and quickly transports
Detective Joe Dante on a soul-searching adventure while he is in hot in pursuit of his
family's killer, drug lord Filippo Argenti. Undaunted by a mere dose of death, he is
greeted by Virgil DiMini who serves as his guide on his trip for justice. DiMini leads him
through to the original setting of Dante's Inferno, where Detective Dante uncovers
secrets and sins that place him and others he had known in life in the ultimate hot
water-Hell.

A page-turning thriller mixed with the author's witty humor, it is a perfect companion for
the new game and for those who love the original poem. It is now available on
Amazon.com and most other online bookstores, or at your local bookseller.

This book will scare the daylights out of you!!

I was unsure what to expect with Dante's Journey, but boy is it a great, scary page turner!!

Joe Dante "wakes up" to find himself in a desert. Not knowing how he got there, he follows a set of foot prints in the sand. After awhile he comes across a man named Virgil, and all Hell breaks loose (pun intended!!)

Joe comes to realize that he is literally in hell!! He feels that he needs to find the man who killed him and his Family.

Joe ventures through the nine layers of hell and meets up with some weird and scary "people" along the way and alot of obstacles.

There is also one pretty big twist as well!!

JC Marino really knocks your socks off with his descriptions of the nine layers of hell and why the people are there.

I was/still am very freaked out about the tortures that you can face for your crimes. I actually went to confessional!!

This book will keep you scared, intrigued and turning the pages till the very end!!

The only thing I wish JC Marino would have done was explain something at the end of the book. I don't want to give out any spoilers, but there are a couple people at the end that you never find out what happens too.

Otherwise, this is going on my must share, and read again shelf!!

Oh yeah I almost forgot, JC Marino was extremely generous in offering one of you, your very own copy!!
