Original review on Jaunts & Haunts
4/5
I gave this novella four angelic stars!
Tad is an angel of death, tasked with the impossible responsibility of guiding departed souls and altering events in history. But for quite some time he's been going back to certain dates and lessening the casualties. When his superiors catch wind of this, they clip his wings, punishing him by forcing him to walk the world as a human.
Over the next year, Tad has barely gotten by on the streets. That is, until he crosses paths with Doug. Due to Doug's kindness, Tad learns what it is to be human and the ramifications of his actions on others.
This book was really great!
Tad's character immediately pulled me in. I mean, that opening was amazing. I loved how he mentioned other worlds relating to some of Neu's other works. It really tied everything together and intrigued me. Tad himself is a bit naive, but he really progressed throughout the novel and became more aware of his impact on others as well as learning that he can't just save everyone.
The other characters were really great. Doug and Minx's interactions specifically reminded me of some conversations I've had with my gay friends and it had me laughing in spots.
The plot was interesting and I couldn't tell where things were going, which was great. Not a lot of cliches in this book! I also liked the time travel aspect as well as the other timelines that are referenced. I almost wish we got to spend more time experiencing that concept.
But most of all, I think this book really had heart to it. Neu painted an accurate picture of the issues some of us face in the LGBT community, and I think he did a great job in this novella.
If I had to pick at anything, I would say that in certain spots around the middle things kind of slowed down and I wanted things to pick up a little faster. The ending was a little sentimental for my taste, but then again I'm more of a horror guy so I'm not going to hold that against Neu at all.
Ultimately, TAD is a great scifi LGBT novella that shows us what it means to be human and punctuates that with great power comes great responsibility.
Great read, definitely bingeworthy!

3.5*
This was a wonderful story with an interesting perspective on society, fate, mortality and angels. We follow Tad (The Angel of Death) who has been sent to Earth as a punishment for helping, and Doug- a human with a big heart who loves to drink, party and perform as Enshannon (his drag persona).
Tad and Doug build up a brilliant and wonderful relationship and friendship over the course of the book and are fiercely loyal to one and other, Tad is even more protective of Doug.
Throughout the book there are many twists and turns due to alterations in life and fate and the reader can never guess what the consequences may be! However, the friendships mostly remain strong throughout and maintains a strong theme in the novel of love and acceptance. With such diverse characters you can't help but love them and feel for them, M.D Neu creates wonderfully realistic characters and portrays their struggles In life accurately.
The LGBTQ+ aspects of this book are well written and the characters well developed. The positive message portrayed for these characters are ones we desperately need, and the serious messages are made all too clear.
The supernatural aspects are interesting and enjoyable- but I just felt that something was missing, perhaps due to the lack of world development. However, we do get to see the way Fate works and why the Angel of Death must behave in a certain way and this was very fun and interesting.
The ending was a twist that-depending on how well you were paying attention- is unexpected and heart-warming, though not the ending you would probably expect.
(Trigger warnings for suicide, 9/11, sexual assault, attempted rape)

This is the second book I’ve read by Marvin, and thus far, he has not disappointed! TAD is a short read, but one that packs a fair bit in.
When it comes to characters, the two we spend most of the book with are Doug, a drag queen/hairdresser, and Tad, a fallen Angel of Death. Sounds like an odd pairing, doesn’t it? The way the two characters interact make up the core of what makes this such an enjoyable read though.
Doug is kind-hearted, but he certainly suffers from some self-image problems, and his issues with alcohol and drugs aren’t helping him at all. Meanwhile, Tad has been sent to Earth as punishment for meddling too much in the lives of humans. You see, he loves humans, and hates that he has to take the souls of so many. Now, cast adrift, he’s lost.
In essence, this is a tale of two friends helping each other come to terms with their lot in life. They both help each other understand what it is to be alive and what they need to do. It’s sweet, and their friendship is a joy to read. The supernatural elements are also strong, with Fate and the other angels visiting the pair in an effort to avert a major disaster. Then, it all builds up a tearjerker of a twist ending.
It’s worth noting that the book is not without scenes that will potentially be difficult for some readers though. It deals with 9-11 for one, which is always a tough subject to cover. Then, there’s Tad being assaulted at a bar, and Doug telling him about the death of one of his friends. In a way, the sadness is a good balance to the sweeter side of the story, but it’s still hard at times.
In all though, Tad is a quick, enjoyable read. It has an interesting take on angels and uses it to explore what it means to be human. Definitely worth a read if you love LGBTQ characters in a setting that’s equal parts contemporary and supernatural. This gets a 4 out of 5 from me.

September 27, 2019I really can't condone any book that has the blatant islamophobia to say they'd never understand why Bush didn't "blow up the entire Middle East" after 9/11. Excuse me?

Talk about a unique story. I adored this!
June 20, 2021
Rounded for 4.25 stars. I enjoyed the story, it was unique, refreshing and very different from books I usually read. I liked the concept and delivery and characters. This is a new for me author and I'll check out his other books.

I enjoyed listening to this entertaining supernatural story. It made me laugh and it eventually made me cry. It is a love story, but not a romance as such because the two main characters, T.A.D. and Doug, remain friends throughout rather than becoming lovers (although not for want of trying at times on both sides). Doug does find love and happiness, but the main focus of the story is between T.A.D and Doug. They are both big-hearted characters. T.A.D. is a fallen angel and Doug is an OTT hairdresser and drag queen and much of the story is about their interaction and events that affect them. The story eventually sweeps through many decades and the ending hurtles towards us. It is a tearjerker and not what I was expecting.
The narrator was new to me and I thought his narration was very well done. He matched the different voices to the various personalities in the story and made them come to life.

Okay, this book was something else. The Angel of Death loves humans and tries to help them as much as they can. One Day, he meddles too much and because of this, he is punished to live like a human. After a year on the streets he meets Doug, a young man with his own problems, who decides to help him.
I have to say that I loved relationship between Tad and Doug. Their friendship was beautiful and pure. They teach each other how to be a good person. How to be human.
I really liked that even after so many years Tad was still struggling sometimes. That he kept being so innocent and naive.
Now something I didn't really like. Plot twists. I can understand why, but sometimes I thought "naaah".
And, sadly, because of this, I didn't really like the ending.
But it was a good read, well enjoyed.

I volunteered to listen to this and review it with a profound sense of trepidation. While it’s been 20 years since the events of 9/11, I was worried that they might not be treated with the respect that they deserved. I lost friends and co-workers in the attacks. In fact, if I’d gone into work early that day, I’d not be here now. My office was on the 94th floor of Tower One. All my co-workers that had already gotten to work were lost.
That said, this book uses that event as just an opening event in a whimsical and telling tale about angels and saving lives. It isn’t disrespectful of what happened on that day. In fact, the tale revolves around an “Angel of Death” that is stripped of his wings for lowering the body-count that day. As a result of his punishment, the angel finds himself a homeless man on the streets of NYC. Now it’s a year after the fateful events and this tale revolves around the drag queen that took him in.
Doug is slightly overweight drag queen and hairdresser who takes in this fallen angel, calling him TAD. Though Tad is beautiful, he’s asexual. He has no sexual desire and doesn’t quite understand human desire.
While this is partly an allegory it is also a tale of humanity. With the advantage of being partly from the viewpoint of an innocent, unworldly outsider, one can see and say things about the human condition that we insiders seldom realize. Who better to explore what it means to be human than someone who never has been?
In spots this is a poignant portrait of man’s inhumanity to man. In others it’s a portrait on just one man’s life. They say that “Fate works in mysterious ways”, but when Fate asks for Doug’s help in this tale, one questions where it will all lead.
This tale out of time lacked some of the cohesiveness of more standard plot-lines. At points it’s confusing, and one feels like it should be better ordered. But then, that’s true of life as well.
This audiobook is narrated by Steve Connor in an upbeat manner that reveals his history as a children’s book narrator. The prose narrative is clear and well paced, and the different character voices are distinct without being over-done. Connor’s narration style wouldn’t work for every tale, but it’s perfect for this one. It adds emphasis to the “moral fable” aspects of the story. This Audio-book is outside the norm in a number of ways, and won’t be to all tastes.
I really enjoyed it, and I expect that those with a taste for things outside the norm will as well. It's one of those books that gives one a fresh perspective, and perhaps a deeper understanding of life.

I went back and forth between rating this 4 or 5 stars so I'll just say 4.5 rounding up on the higher end.
Note this book isn't for everyone. It focuses highly on 9/11. So don't read it if that is a trigger. There are things said that may offend. I don't know the author but I want to believe that isn't their opinion and just coming from what the character would say in that situation out of anger and emotion. Including Political matters. This may also not be for everyone because I was a little thrown to realize it isn't really a romance but rather just best friends and life lessons.
With that being said I loved it. The characters were fantastic and despite not being a couple they were the sweetest together. The plot was interesting and very original. I devoured this in one listen. I'll definitely be following this author.
TAD is the angel of death. He is too soft for the job and wants to save people instead of just guiding them into the light. On 9/11 he tries to intervene and so his wings are clipped and he is forced to be human again. He is lost and alone and given the tragedy around them when Doug who is a drag queen finds him, he offers to take him in thinking he was hit in the trajedy and lost his memory.
Audio 5 stars
I don't know who this narrator is but boy was it a pleasure to listen to him. He is a true performer. I could hear all the emotions and was on the edge of my seat totally enthralled by his storytelling. He did wonderful different voices for each of the characters that suited them all perfectly.

This novella totally intrigued me. Its jumps in time. Its take on alternate realities. Its ending which was touching and unexpected (for most part).
There are a lot of ideas in the tale. Ideas that get examined and re-examined. And while one of the major characters is a drag queen, the world of drag is not the focus. Doug also runs a hair salon which is used by the author as a device to ground us in where we are in the timeline. This is important as often, years go by between chapters. These jumps appealed to me, and having Doug build up his business, change staff or completely move cities gave a clear focus on when parts of the story take place - even in alternate time lines.
But at the heart of this tale is The Angel of Death, or TAD, an angel who becomes human. He stays naive for a very long time until the scene and the influence of friends change him. Life experience finally taps him on the shoulder.
T.A.D. is very much a concept piece. This is what appealed to me most.

This was a wonderful story! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the angel of death and the drag queen/hairstylist's lives, especially when it covers an entire life span (get tissues, you'll need them). Although it covers some very tragic events in real life, they were portrayed with care. We have TAD, the angel of death, wanting to diminish the amount of death in catastrophic events which cost him his wings and to be sent to live life on Earth as punishment. Then we have Doug, who cares so much about humanity that when he meets TAD he can't pass by without giving the smelly, disheveled man a hand, thinking him a homeless man, which he was at the time. Bringing TAD to the salon to give him a makeover, Doug then brings him home where TAD spends years watching Doug ruin his life with alcohol and drugs. This friendship continues throughout the decades until Doug's final days. What a beautiful tale this was. I thoroughly enjoyed this well-written story.
This is also my first MD Neu book and I'm looking forward to reading others from this author.

I loved Tad and Doug and this story of their friendship and love. It isn't easy being the ex-Angel of Death who cared too much for those fragile humans and it isn't easy being Doug and battling all those interior demons sometimes successfully, sometimes not. This is a lovely story for the holidays. It will remind you there is goodness, love and kindness in the world, and you'll happy cry for that. Then it will remind you of some things about the fragility of humans and you cry in another way.

This is the story of one of the Angels of Death (Tad) who was punished for wrong doing by having his wings taken and left on Earth. Here on Earth he is rescued off living on the streets by a Wounderfully generous gay man (Doug)who helps him.
This is their story of the time and Adventures they have and of Doug finding his true love & husband (Roberto). A Very touching story that give a different view of the world. The Narrator did a Wonderful job with the characters voices and the storyline!!

Witty, tearful and original
MD Neu is a new to me author, so I had no expectations when starting this book.
An over the top drama queen come drag queen and hairdresser, and an Angel of Death (TAD), you shouldn't be able to dream this up, no idea how the author's brain works, but I love it.
It had me laughing in parts, and then the tears came, well written and very unique. It has twists that I wasn't expecting, and overall I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Not only was the author new to me, but so was the narrator. So in total, a very enjoyable read/listen, and I will lookout for more books from both the author and narrator.
Steve Connor was a pleasure to listen to, clean and concise. I did speed up this narration which is usual for me.

I haven’t read or listened to anything by this author before, but one of my fellow reviewers reviewed the ebook and loved it. I didn’t read her review because I wanted to go into this story without anything to influence my thoughts. I’m going to start with the narration because the narrator was new to me as well. I thought Steve Connor did a good job narrating this story. I didn’t feel a lot of personal connection to the story through his performance, but I thought his voice was pleasant and I would listen to him again.
I just have to put it out there that I don’t consider this story a romance at all. Not in the way that I would define a romance, anyway. But it is a story about love. TAD is an angel of death (there are many) whose love for humanity has him saving lives he isn’t supposed to. And while it seems like the little alterations he makes in mass casualty events to lessen the death total won’t make that much of a difference, he is stripped of his wings and made to live on Earth as punishment.
One of the events is 9/11 and it’s near ground zero that TAD meets Doug who gives him his acronym. Doug is a full of life drag queen with some self-esteem issues and a bad influence for a boyfriend. Meeting TAD makes Doug want to help him and so begins a long friendship. At first TAD isn’t wired for anything sexual, so their love is purely platonic. With out giving anything away, events occur that result in TAD becoming fully human, and he does engage in healthy sexual relationships with women and men. He doesn’t seem interested in anything permanent with anyone except the deep friendship he maintains with Doug.
The story is told over a long period of time with large gaps between sections. I understand why this is convenient because certain moments in the 20 year long story are more important than others. The characters grow and change so much but most of it occurs off-page. During the entirety TAD and Doug, of course, remain friends and Doug falls in love with a man we never learn that much about, but he is happy. And from time to time angels make brief appearances to see if TAD is ready to go back to his angelic life. I think this story speaks a lot about the importance of platonic love because TAD is never willing to leave Doug even though they are not in love with each other. Their kind of love is just as important to the duo though.
The story started with a lesson for TAD to realize how his interference does affect the world despite his best intentions. The lesson is kind of a long game and brings about the near collapse of the world like the blurb mentions. I thought the scare and what it takes to stop it made for an interesting story. There is a little twist in regards to TAD’s origins that I enjoyed. I felt that the story ended in a satisfying way, but again not really a romance so no HEA. The story does make you think, though, and I would recommend it as long as you aren’t expecting a romance.
I just have to put it out there that I don’t consider this story a romance at all. Not in the way that I would define a romance, anyway. But it is a story about love. TAD is an angel of death (there are many) whose love for humanity has him saving lives he isn’t supposed to. And while it seems like the little alterations he makes in mass casualty events to lessen the death total won’t make that much of a difference, he is stripped of his wings and made to live on Earth as punishment.

This was my first foray into reading M.D. Neu, and I'll start by saying that the story of Tad and Doug made me smile, tear up, and even laugh out loud a few times. While this is not a genre I normally read, I enjoyed how M.D. kept me guessing about where the story was going. It was not a predictable plot, in my opinion. He touched on a few difficult topics such as LGBTQA suicide, drug addiction, and 9/11. I will add that I got a tad (haha) lost a few times as we took leaps back and forth in time, but overall it was a fun read and I look forward to checking out more of his work.

As an Angel of Death, TAD's fondness for humans makes taking souls difficult for him, especially in massive numbers. When he bends the rules too much, he’s stripped of his wings and sent to live on Earth. After a year of stewing in sorrow and street scum, he’s taken in by hairstylist and drag queen extraordinaire, Doug. Soon Doug becomes Tad’s raison d’être, and as Doug’s inner demons and depression feed his self-destructive nature, Tad goes to any lengths to give Doug happiness. Unfortunately, Tad’s singular focus on one soul’s happiness proves as disruptive as his focus on changing the fates of souls meant to die.
T.A.D is an interesting exploration of concepts such as free will, fatalism and determinism and the consequences of pride, selfishness, and sacrifice wrapped up in the friendship and emotional journey of a drama queen and de-winged angel. . .Tad’s evolution from the effects of his tunnel-vision and the lessons he takes (or doesn’t) power the story. . .The pace drags toward the middle and idles along. . . where T.A.D truly loses me most is Doug’s depiction.
Full disclosure: Doug and I got off to a rocky start. On the first anniversary of 9/11, in his sadness he expresses a wish that Bush had blown up the entire Middle East. Getting hit with the undeserved hostility and mistreatment of Muslims and those “Middle Eastern looking” folks is emotionally jarring. However, I enjoy messy, self-destructive and salty characters, so Doug’s isn’t the real issue; it’s the unbalanced show vs tell when it comes to Doug’s complicated personality. Much of the story portrays Doug on the razor’s edge of self-destruction and how horribly he treats himself and Tad.
Yet, 95% of his big-heartedness, kindness, etc. is reported by Tad, and the few scenes attempting to show these traits or Doug being a good/supportive friend, usually have an edge of meanness and/or are dismissive, even mocking. . . including Tad's asexuality (although the story seems to think asexuality isn’t actually a thing and that memory is tied to libido??). . . and Tad’s sexual assault. I understand that Neu spotlighting Doug’s less than pleasant behaviors conveys that Tad sees Doug’s inner beauty and goodness, but the minimal textual substantiation is frustrating.
Also, I find Doug’s behavior when Tad first moves in somewhat predatory and icky. Doug found Tad beautiful from the start and within days he initiates sex with the homeless, unemployed and friendless Tad. Despite the narrative making it clear Tad has no interest or pleasure in sex, he gamely continues to try sex to make Doug happy. Throwing in a line of Tad's assurance he wants to do it doesn’t carry much weight since Doug was unhappy with Tad's hesitance/disinterest, and Tad literally says he did it to make Doug happy.
Steve Connor's voice for Doug channels Doug’s dramatic, volatile and sassy temperament. . . but Connor infuses his voice with showy flair in all situations so in deeply emotional scenes, Connor goes bigger—sliding alongside (and often crossing into) campy telenovela territory. His voice for Tad is also more or less on point, especially at the beginning where he effortlessly expresses Tad’s combination of artless joy and youthful pride. . . Sometimes, though, his voices for Tad and Doug overlap, making it hard to differentiate the two during dialogue, and Connor has difficulty keeping his character voices consistent.

For audiobooks, the narrator is as important as the well crafted story he/she reads. Steve is fantastic and the recording is done professionally. I’ve heard great story narrated by good reader but the recording left much to be desired with lots of strange feedback echoes and some other noises that make the listening a not so pleasant experience. Steve Connor, professional recording & well crafted story by MD Neu make “TAD” a really great experience for audiobook. Definitely a 5 stars and a recommend to anyone who loves a good yarn. Okay, I’ve not got into the story but why should I when I don’t believe in spoilers. Ha ha. I think it’s enough to say that “TAD” is a down to earth story of human kindness in a simple drag queen and his community with, lots of humour weaved into the tale.

A Joyfully Jay review.
3.5 stars
T.A.D is an interesting exploration of philosophical concepts, such as the nature of free will, fatalism, and determinism; what it means to be human; whether any person is really a “nobody” if they interact with others and the world; and the consequences of pride, selfishness, choice, and sacrifice wrapped up in the friendship and emotional journey of a drama queen and de-winged angel. I like the concept of relegating an angel who is overly attached to humans to live as a human—resulting in him attaching to a specific human like a barnacle, and while T.A.D is a love story, it is not a romance.

This was a sweet story about angels, fate and human nature.
When Drag Queen and hairstylist, Doug first meets Tad it seems random. Tad is on a bench, weeping, guilty over the events of 9/1. The reason he is guilty is because he’s an Angel of death. He manipulated the events of 9/11 as much as he was able to try and save as many people as he could. Unfortunately, that runs against the rules of “heaven” and he is punished by being banished to a life on earth.
Doug is a sweet man and takes Tad under his wing. Of course, Doug knows nothing of Tad’s past life. ?Doug believes that Tad might be a pilot who was traumatized (just like everyone else) by the terrorism.
The two becomes friends, attempt to be lovers, discover they are better as friends and move on with their lives.
The story becomes more complex once Tad is visited by his angelic friends and warned that he is changing the future course of Earth by existing on earth.
I really liked the idea of a chosen family that develops throughout the course of the story. Doug isn’t living the best life when he first meets Tad and together, they find their way towards a family of choice. Of course, it has its ups and downs, but ultimately their lives are better for finding one another. I’ve read a few of Neu’s books before, and he always does a great job at characterization.
In particular,I loved the way Neu wrote about Doug’s issues with his own body. In the society we live in, Doug’s embarrassment and discomfort with his body seem like something we need to be able to read more about! We need to be able to live in a world in which there are books where many different body types are celebrated and accepted as part of our natural variety. Kudos to Neu for that!
Some of the ideas were a bit too “fairy tale” for me. But, I’m not a particularly spiritual person, so I struggled a bit with suspending my disblief. I do love the sentiment behind the story though! I also feel that this novel was written as a memorial by Neu and I think that is a remarkable way to honor someone.
This was a light read with heavy emotional moments so 3 stars from me!

*I received a free review copy in exchange for an honest review of this book.
T. A. D. positions a human and a former Angel of Death so that they can mutually grow and inspire each other to be better. This isn't a linear process, and early on the characters are pretty rough, to themselves and to those around them. Learning to live.
This book paints a loving but messy portrayal of drag culture, mostly set in the early/mid 2000's, with an earnestness and detail that makes it come to life. There is such fondness expressed in the book, looking backwards when the story moves on from that time in the character's lives, but also in the vividness of the portrayal in the early part of the story.
The one thing that gave me pause was the way that one character's asexuality (or something that looks very close to it) is handled. This character seemed to be initially written as asexual, but felt (mostly internal/people-pleasing) pressure to perform sexually. I think the resolution works all right, but the process of getting there may be stressful to some readers, so proceed with care if the rhetoric and/or pressures of mainstream allosexual culture are likely to be triggering for you.
The ending was touching and meaningful, a measure of peace in a book about how hard that can be to find. I just wish the story had spent more time dwelling in that peace after being so stressful early on. The conclusion felt like the characters had (years of) aftercare, but as a reader I wasn't quite ready for everything to be resolved.
Overall I enjoyed it, and I would recommend it to someone who wants a version of time-travel and a hint of multiverses without being a sci-fi book. It's definitely a different take on an angel losing their wings, and that was its own kind of refreshing.

WOW! This book was just...wow! This is the first book I've read by this author but I'm a total fan now and it won't be my last.
I had lots and lots of feelings about this book and right from the start. I was looking forward to seeing what things might be like from the perspective of the Angel of Death and the angel grabbed my attention straight away. He seemed young and joyful and somewhat innocent and I was surprised when I was overcome with memories of an event that I dare say all of you reading this book will remember. Fair warning here folks... grab your tissues and plan for some kind of aftercare (perhaps chocolate and wine might be in order).
The story jumps from one place and time to the next and events change and evolve and twist in unexpected ways but don't let that scare you because the world that this author built is written so well that there's really no trouble following along. I felt like I was right along side TAD as he made friends and developed relationships. I cried a lot. Sometimes because the story made my heart hurt with the way it combined relate-able, realistic events. Sometimes those events can include the sad side of human nature and life and other times the very best and my tears were from happiness.
I want to touch just a bit on how this story showcases love. There are many, many sides of love and kinds of love that M.D. Neu represented in a beautiful way. I can't recommend this book highly enough. It will stay with me for a very long time.

Fantastic!
This book is exactly what I needed especially in these troubling times. It is a story of love, and hope, and one that you will be glad that you read.

3.5
I thought that this was really quite sweet. I love platonic love stories. Not that no characters find romance or not even that the characters don't have sex. But the primary love of the story isn't a romantic love and I adored that. Given this fact, I think some people might quibble with it being called a romance. But I think it fits the genre, even if on the edge. Love is certainly the point.
Set in 2002, amidst the global unrest post September 11, the book has an emotionally charged setting. And Neu uses it to it's fullest giving us characters who call New York home. I thought Doug is a lovely character, if a little emotionally messy for much of the book. Tad is more complicated, for obvious reasons, but I liked him too (though not all the time(s)). And there are a host of fun side characters, though you don't get to know them too well.
The writing is quite readable and it's well narrated. It did feel a little slow at times. But not enough to drag too badly. All in all, a strong showing, even if it probably won't top my favorites list.

not-for-me
December 12, 2021Ok, I have to confess I need a break from this.
I got an audio arc and was so excited as this is my first book by this author and my first by this narrator.
I loved the prologue but than it got difficult for me.
I can't tolerate sentences like "I don't understand why he didn't bomb the whole middle East into the ground"
I also had troubles with Doug and his attitude towards drugs and with Tads innocence or naivety
I hated the rape scene and the nonexistent way it was dealt with ....
So I cry defeat and maybe I will start again sometime as the idea was great and I would really like to know how it ends

May 20, 2021This is a tough one to review. While I liked the story and the premise, the friendship and the way the author portrait humanity (from the eyes of the Angel of Death: TAD) is amazing and inspirational, the amount of telling this book has is enormous. We jump from places to places, time to time and never get a sense of how TAD and Dough friendship progressed. Everything is told us, rarely shown. I got frustrated half away through. The narrator did a good job, but I didn't quite like how over top his performance of Doug was.

An enchanting urban fairy tale about an Angel of Death living out a human life with a man he loves, no matter how many changes happen to his identity, memories, and the reality they live in. Love remains love, no matter how much it changes, even as Tad learns more about life and responsibility as a human, how much the small moments effect the whole, taking a step back from being an angel.
Cozy, charming, and heartwarming, the sweetness shines through even when the protagonists hit a rough patch and everything seems in jeaopardy. If you want a touching story about love, pick up this book.
