When "The Impossible Lover" was first recommended to me I was immediately intrigued by the premise... of a strange bending of reality, history and love into a complicated and involved novel. Very quickly upon starting the novel I was sucked into the story, finding myself swept up in the plot as  Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Jordan Haldane finds himself on a adventurous quest to unravel the mysteries surrounding the Illuminati and the Holy Grail, saving his lover Sophia and his world in the process.The novel is wonderfully imaginative with a flair of creativity that certainly piqued my interest throughout the novel. Dara Fogel has a gift for writing that weaves strong dialogue, authentic characters, historical events and characters, and a strangely compelling plot into a masterfully well-written novel. This is the kind of book that has the ability to suck you into a reality that is so completely different from you own and yet similar at the same time, drawing you into a world of fantastical events, characters and discoveries that bend your mind and test you own concept of reality.I had such a great time reading this would definitely recommend it to other readers. As mentioned by other reviewers, this novel has touches of my favorite in the genre such as The DaVinci Code and even a little bit of Indiana Jones. Overall, this was a compelling novel that I enjoyed immensely and has me very eager to read the next book in The GrailChase Chronicles.
