Abaddon
Haunted by guilt and hollow faith, Genevieve searches for meaning in a world abandoned by its Maker. Then comes Radiel, a man whose gaze feels older than the world, and whose truth leaves no room for comfort.
In his presence, she learns that God's love may exist
— but not for her. Abaddon is a descent into faith's shadows, a quiet apocalypse of guilt, faith, and divine indifference.

Thank you very much, Paulina, for sending me a copy of your book.
Abaddon immerses us in an intense and deeply reflective story, where themes of faith, guilt and abandonment form the heart of the narrative. Genevieve lives burdened by her own guilt and a faith that feels hollow and betrayed, in a world that seems to have been left behind by its Creator. In her search for meaning, her life takes a turn with the appearance of Radiel, an enigmatic man whose gaze seems to contain secrets older than the world itself. His presence challenges everything Genevieve thought she knew about love, redemption and divinity, and leads her to confront uncomfortable truths, secrets and very dark inner thoughts.
The book has an engaging rhythm that combines introspection with moments of emotional tension. Through a style imbued with symbolism and metaphors, the author explores the fragility of human faith, the need to confront inner demons, and the search for purpose in a universe that sometimes seems indifferent.
This is a book that has fascinated me with its originality and thematic ambition. The way the story intertwines spiritual quest with a dark, almost apocalyptic backdrop makes it difficult to put down. The protagonist is a complex, disturbing and deeply human character, with such a powerful narrative presence that she really stays with you after you finish the book. Paulina is not content with telling a superficial story, but invites us to explore intense emotions and the grey areas of the soul, making this an intense and memorable literary experience.
Abaddon is a novel that offers an appealing blend of emotional thriller, philosophical exploration and unforgettable characters, a read that I recommend to those looking for something different and profound.
