The Fetch by Laura Whitcomb
4.0
This is a wonderfully written book that has a unique view of death and what lies after. It took me a few pages to get into it but after that I loved it! I especially enjoyed the way the story carried on, each choice pushing the balance between life and death, good and evil, and the way the romance was important but wasn't the only part of the story.
Calder is a Fetch, part of a society as old as time itself, responsible for helping souls reach heaven. He's used to being unattached and solitary, but being alone takes it's toll. When he sees a beautiful woman at the deathbed of a child, he thinks he's in love, and after seeing her twice he makes a choice. He will find her and bring her with him back to heaven to be his star fetch. It doesn't work out though, and he finds himself locked out of the place he called his home and an impossible task. Save a soul that he knew before and take the children safely home. Will he be able to do that before the darkness takes them or will his selfish journey wrought the destruction that he feared?
