Klune|5073330|T.J. Klune|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1546275989p2/5073330.jpg] follows Benji (awesome name btw, no bias here >.>), who is suffering from the loss of his father five years ago. The official line is that his truck overturned and crashed into the river, but Benji is certain that there's more to it than that and he's determined to uncover everything.
Calliel is the guardian angel of the town of Roseland. But he crash lands by the river and is found by Benji, he doesn't remember some aspects of his life, specifically when it comes to the situation of Benji's dad dying.
The town of Roseland has some pretty dark secrets, and Benji's poking around puts im in the line of sights for some shady people.
The relationship between Benji and Cal as amazing. Both are struggling with similar feelings of loneliness and it was great to watch their trust grow with one another.
The theme of family was very strong here, particularly father/son. Seeing flashbacks of Benji and his father was heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. This book nearly made me cry, and probably would have had me full on bawling if I was listening to it at home (if people on the bus saw me at certain points in this book, they'd be wondering why I was blinking so much).
The mystery was also a big part of the story, and I found it really engaging. I felt genuine fear for the safety of the characters at times.
Another five star book for Mr. Klune!
