Under the Whispering Door is a really great book.

I was THRILLED when I received the approval notification from Netgalley. The cover and synopsis for Under the Whispering Door immediately captured my attention. (Side note: I want to read his other series and I have a couple of his other books I just haven’t gotten to them yet). So when I heard that TJ was releasing a new book I was so excited. It has become one of my all time favorite books. I fell in love with TJ Klune’s writing last year when I read The House in the Cerulean Sea. The following review is my honest opinion and reflects my reading experience. HUGE thank you to Tor Books, TJ Klune, and Netgalley for sharing this e-arc with me. Under the Whispering Door is a contemporary fantasy about a ghost who refuses to cross over and the ferryman he falls in love with. When the Manager, a curious and powerful being, arrives at the tea shop and gives Wallace one week to cross over, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in seven days. With Hugo’s help he finally starts to learn about all the things he missed in life.

Hugo is the tea shop’s owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who need to cross over.īut Wallace isn’t ready to abandon the life he barely lived. On the outskirts, off the path through the woods, tucked between mountains, is a particular tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Instead of leading him directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small village. When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects he really might be dead.
