Adiel and the Fuhrer. I literally don’t know where to start with this. It starts very sedately and then in chapter 4 it just goes so heavily left and I can’t tell you why without spoiling the whole thing. Essentially just before the war, Adiel is a Jew just before the war who knows the tide is turning against his people and wants to stop it. Some of this book is quite silly and his daughter is almost comical until the brief moments where this story gets so dark and so utterly sad. The pacing is all over the place and there is an enormous chapter in the middle when all sorts of madness happens but the last 10% of the book is absolutely tragic. I wish I could tell you the twist because you absolutely won’t guess it. My take away from this is I don’t know this is insane.

This was a interesting alternate history element, it had everything that I was looking for in this type of book. It uses the time-travel element in a way that worked and wasn’t in a dumb way. Elyse Hoffman wrote this perfectly and hope to read more from them.

I loved this book. Well written and with a very interesting plot. A different story for the story. Highly recommended.

This book was brilliant. So original. I did not see the early plot twist coming. I won't spoiler but it was a real gasp moment! A highly original story, full of what if's. There were a some shocking moments and some very sad ones. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to more from this author.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I was curious diving into this book, with a premise like this one : What would you do if you had the chance to prevent the rise of Hitler?
A lot of historical fiction, a bit of fantasy, a bit of time travel this one a different read from my usual genres. I enjoyed it, it was quite fascinating to read!

This series is a doozy.
I call books like this one “What If”? books, when an author writes alternative circumstances for historical events, in the form of historical fiction. I like these types of novels, because they often really make the mind stretch from what it already knows with sharp twists and turns.
“Project 613” is an ongoing series; “Adiel” is #4. All the novels are stand-alones, but reading them in order does make them more interesting, I think.

This was a thought provoking and emotional story.

This story follows Adiel who, in another life time, was Hitler. The story contains time travel and other elements which were interesting.

Little Kaia was a wonderful character and her spirit and personality was just amazing. I was so upset when I found out what happened to her.

I would definitely recommend.

Adiel Goldstein is an observant Jew living in Germany at the time of Hitler’s rise to power. One day, his daughter finds books hidden away by Adiel’s parents that literally rock him to his core, and change his life forever.

Part time travel and part alternative history, in Adiel and the Fuhrer Elyse Hoffman takes the concept of “what if the Holocaust could have been stopped”, and flips it on its head. This well done and well plotted novel is entertaining, fast paced, and an absolute pleasure to read.

Highly recommended.

My thanks to the publisher and to Netgalley for providing an ARC of the book.

I think this book had a really interesting concept and Elyse Hoffman's writing is well constructed and keeps the reading engaged throughout the novel.

I really enjoyed this book. Well written and such an interesting premise. It's the first I've read by this author but look forward to exploring more of her titles. If you'd like alternative history stories you will be in for a good read.
