The Fetch is to die for!

If I could praise any author more than J.K. Rowling herself (I'm a huge Harry Potter fan) it would have to be Laura Whitcomb. Her writing is so beautifully descriptive and intriguing, it makes you feel as if you are seeing everything she writes with your very own eyes. The Fetch is only her second novel, of course besides her how-to books to help young writers such as myself, and it like 'A certain slant of Light' deals with true love, death, and the world beyond our own. I wish I could sit with Laura and just pick her brain and ask her what sparked her interest with death and the after-life because the Aisle of Unearthing is so complex and original, I guarantee you have heard nothing like it before. I believe we all wonder at times what comes after death and how it all will be when we are nothing but ashes and memories, and Laura Whitcomb delivers not only an intriguing and believable concept, but one I would be happy with, if and when I were to die and fade away. The Fetch is about a death escort named Calder, who breaks his laws bestowed to him by his captain and Heaven, and falls in love with a mortal human. This book is set in the Russian Revolution and although on the cover it says "A supernatural romance" it truly does not have too much romance in it. It is deep and dark and full of suffering, but also compassion and enlightenment. If you want a book that you can lose yourself completely in, a book that makes you think, a book that like a movie makes you feel for the hero and hope for the best, then this is indeed, the book for you. I honestly don't know if I've ever read a more well written and thought out, not to mention really fucking cool, book in my entire life. My hat is off to Laura for doing it again, and if you want to follow my advice and check her out for yourself you can visit her website at www.laurawhitcomb.com.
