The narration was very easy to follow along, though I did have some trouble keeping up with the characters at some points in the story. I do wish that I knew more about the world Soraya and why people acted the way they did. I just wished there was more and it was a little longer. I did really enjoy the characters even if I hated some. They made the story more interesting and I will be picking up a physical copy of this book very soon.

When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects he really might be dead. Instead of leading him directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small village. On the outskirts, off the path through the woods, tucked between mountains, is a particular tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Hugo is the tea shop's owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who need to cross over. But Wallace isn't ready to abandon the life he barely lived. With Hugo's help he finally starts to learn about all the things he missed in life. When the Manager, a curious and powerful being, arrives at the tea shop and gives Wallace one week to cross over, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in seven days.

Fallen by Linda Castillo

  This book had me hooked from page one and I couldn't stop, but I had to cause you know sleep lol. I have never really enjoyed Amish books but this one change my mind. I might have to try more and I will definitely be reading more from Linda Castillo, plus the rest of this series. As this being the 13th book in the series, I wasn't confused and still understood what was going on. To me it read more like a standalone and could read without reading the rest. I want to think Linda Castillo and Minotaur Books for letting read and review this book. I want also think Tandem Collective Global for hosting a readalong over on Instgram, I had so much fun.
