Hell's Gate introduces us to the post-apocalyptic world of small town Ohio. Angels, demons even druids are fighting for dominance of Earth. The main character Cole is a bartender who seems to have adjusted to this new world but does not really have a purpose to his life. His best quality is his loyalty to his friends and his town. On the day we meet him he is attacked on the way to work by a demon then again in the bar by a druid. He is saved in the bar by Vera a fallen angel. Vera has been looking for him and informs him that the druids have kidnapped his friend Nikki. Cole and Vera set off to save Nikki and what ensues reveals more antagonists and plots then friends and resolutions. We are taken through demon lairs, druid camps and wastelands of the countryside. Through it we see Cole struggle to fight a growing attraction to Vera as he stays true to his quest to free Nikki.
Cole is an interesting character. I want to call him an antihero but he does have redeeming qualities that just won't let that title fit. The underlying currents of this book makes it hard to like any of the other characters. Even Vera is suspect in her intentions but then again she has fallen from Heaven so maybe we should be cautious of her.
The imagery in this book is fantastic. You can see the author knows the places he is writing about and has changed them just enough to give them a haunting feeling. There are many religious undertones which have caused me to realize that my Catholic upbringing is sorely lacking when it comes to the final chapter of the bible. I actually wanted to take my bible off the shelf at 2:00 in the morning to try and rectify that.
This is one of those books you will have to reread just to figure out what clues you missed the first time around! It will gnaw at you before you fall asleep and you will be anxiously awaiting the next book. I know I am.

Cole's small town is very different from mine, "the activities in a small town are sleep, sex, drugs, drink and watch grass grow." Really Cole in our town it's sleep, sex, drugs, drink, and watch the cows grow. "Oh, will you quit defending her. She's evil, plain and simple. I know you have a history. I know you have a friendship. The person you knew once upon a time is gone. There is no saving her no matter what you believe or how you view it. This world will be better when she's gone." Even though I totally agree with you about Lilith you didn't have to be an a** about it Cole. Show some compassion it is Vera's friend you're talking about. I mean Cole though, he's a looker, "The pants are leather, tight enough they show off what God has given me. I don't think I can fit a pair of boxers under them even if I wanted to." I'm totally okay with that Cole, I really am. I really like how Vera and Cole interact with each other
"You know there are door knobs. Believe it or not they actually turn and open doors, right?" My voice is heavy with sarcasm.
"We don't have time for door knobs." Make a smart a** comment you get a smart a** reply.
There were times I was frustrated with Cole and Vera I just wanted them to do the nasty already, UGH. The damn cliffhanger! BENJAMIN YOU ARE NOT A NICE BOY! I loved the book though hated the cliffhanger.
This genre of book is not one I would normally pick, but I am glad I decided to check it out. So many action books and stories lack in character development. That is not true with Benjamin Daniel's book. Cole, the main character, is a real person with emotions and limits that come with being human. The story is told by Cole, and with each page the reader learns more about him. He has a code of ethics by which he lives, but that code is challenged again and again. How will he respond? Will he be able to continue following that code? This is a continuing strand that weaves through the story and binds it together. This is what kept me reading. What will his relationship with Vera be? Can she be trusted? Can anyone be trusted?
There are errors in grammar and spelling that would make an English teacher cringe...but those do not take away from the story and can be corrected easily with some more editing. For a first book, Ben has succeeded in writing a story that moves...has unique descriptions...and keeps the reader asking questions. Great job...and looking forward to the next book.
