Blurb: Welcome to Charon's Crossing.
The tea is hot, the scones are fresh, and the dead are just passing through.
When a reaper comes to collect Wallace from his own funeral, Wallace begins to suspect he might be dead.
And when Hugo, the owner of a peculiar tea shop, promises to help him cross over, Wallace decides he’s definitely dead.
But even in death he’s not ready to abandon the life he barely lived, so when Wallace is given one week to cross over, he sets about living a lifetime in seven days.
Review: Simply beautiful. I was entranced by the story, and was hooked by the dialogue for the entire story. Charon's crossing and the characters within are cozy. Cozy and questioning. Cozy and deep. The blurb does a better job of selling this book then I can make with a review. I am so happy to have read Wallace's story.
The only fault I have with the book was the ending. It wasn't entirely my cup of tea. It was still a solid cup of tea though, and the leadup was phenomenal. This a gigantic recommend for anyone looking for a dialogue driven book.
