Love & Betrayal

“Historical fiction has never really been my thing, but Dupuis' first book in this series intrigued me and gave me liking for the genre. In this second book, the love is still there. The author builds anticipation for that big ending. Some of the relationships were very heartwarming and had me invested. These books deal with a caring and supportive family I like to see that in a book. I will definitely read the rest of this series.”

“I read the first two volumes and thoroughly enjoyed the exciting adventure of the classic, dualistic battle between good and evil in the context of this apocalyptic peeling away of the layers of history. I loved the way the author presented his characters in a narrative reflection on the developments and issues faced by the Church in the modern world. He highlights very clearly the Church’s holiness and the hellish temptations that face so many in the Church. I lived in Rome during the time periods in this book and they brought back many memories and clearly highlighted so many key concerns faced by our world and the Church. I wait eagerly for coming volumes. I would love some day to see this story on the big screen!”

“I enjoyed how many local connections there were in this book. As someone who lives in the same town as the author I was so excited to see those local connections. David makes the religious histories easy to read and understand. I could not put this down and in fact read it in 3 weeks which only leaves you wanting more. I can't wait until the third book.”

“Okay, David Dupuis, you've officially hooked me. Love & Betrayal took me on a journey of self-discovery. I would rate this series of books up there with the DaVinci Code. Definitely one for the ages! Bracing myself for all the twists and turns in Book 3.”

“A hybrid of ‘Pillars of The Earth’ and 'The Thornbirds.' A fascinating historical timeline told through the filter of Good vs Evil. This book reveals the blemishes and the warts of the Vatican yet allows the reader to root for the hero who has a predestined future within it.”

“Captivating book of historical fiction and suspense. Second one in a series. Again, a great and quick read.”
