A road trip to rediscover memories lost to the dead.

When Morgan's divine duties erase his memories until he can hardly remember anything beyond his name, he dreams of one thing: escape. And he finally gets his chance when the very familiar Fin falls into his life and whisks him away from everything he knows.

Escape quickly turns into a road trip with Fin to replace the memories he's lost, but Morgan has to confront what it means if he never returns. Without him to send souls, they die completely, leaving a void in the world where nothing will live or grow. Returning, however, means he will lose himself.  

And so, Morgan must decide if never returning and living his life as himself—not the Divine—is worth more than the souls he's leaving behind.

Oh, this is dreamlike and lovely, and manages to craft an atmosphere that I really enjoy but can't really describe. It's a story and feeling that feels both new and old at the same time, and I love it so much! As GamingDama said in another comment, this story naturally lends itself to the readers thinking about the characters in the future, and just in general as well. 

As for the themes of death...man. Okay, so fun fact about me, two years ago I took a course on spirituality/faith and death, taught by a person who had briefly been interested in becoming a mortician and working with the dead/ dead bodies (I don't remember the exact details). It was an amazing experience. I don't mean that in the sense that it was pleasant, but the fact that the feeling of discussing death, grief, trauma and the afterlife with a group of people I had grown to trust, under the guidance of a teacher, is something I feel like more people need to experience. I'm saying all this to say that I genuinely kind of want to talk about this book with the person who taught that class. I thought of her often while reading it. 

All in all, great job!

That actually sounds like a really fascinating course! I'm glad my book made you think of it and your instructor often. Thank you so much for reading and I am so glad you enjoyed it!

Another well written story that kept your interest until the very end!

So far -> This is one of the lighter ones I had read and...  It was worth it.

I really adore the couple and Eryn as well!

With your stories, I always want to know what happened to the characters afterwards lol.  You make it fun to wonder...

Now onto the next one!

The story was good, i really love this kind of style and vibes. A comforting moody read with multiple sweet moments is what i need :D

I like the episode when fate literally drops a boyfriend on mc's head during his moment of loneliness and despair. but so shame it doesn't work like that in real life...

Thank you for making this healing story!

If only it worked like that in real life, haha!

Thank you so much for reading!! I am glad you enjoyed it!
