She feels a connection to him and a need to keep him safe. However, it\u2019s hard to protect a guy when her popping up everywhere gives him the creeps. He runs from her every chance he gets as she continues to do everything in her power to make sure he doesn\u2019t die.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>The truth is, something was going to happen to Declan Moss. Something terrible. Something deadly. Something I could stop.\u00a0<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Full of humor and heat with a nice dose of feels, I couldn\u2019t put\u00a0<i>Tripping on a Halo<\/i>\u00a0down. It was so much fun with its unique storyline and endearing characters, and it pulled me in right from the start.<\/p>\n<p>Autumn is hilarious. She\u2019s a complicated character who isn\u2019t fully understood. She believes she is Declan\u2019s guardian angel and therefore needs to keep him in her sights. I love that she doesn&#8217;t care what people think and stays true to her mission.\u00a0She\u2019s fun and and I couldn\u2019t help but love her quirks.<\/p>\n<p>Declan thinks Autumn is crazy. The way he finds out her identity is comical and he can\u2019t quite understand why he isn\u2019t running the other way when he finally meets her in person. I loved seeing him react to her and the pull she had on him when he wasn\u2019t quite sure about her.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;You&#8217;re going to think I&#8217;m crazy.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;I hate to break it to you, but that boat sailed a long time ago.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s okay. My sister thinks I&#8217;m crazy too.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Even with their outrageous and unconventional situation, Autumn and Declan&#8217;s chemistry is sizzling and the sexual tension is out of control in the best possible way. There\u2019s a bit of back and forth but it makes the buildup so delicious and it wasn\u2019t at all frustrating. They can&#8217;t keep they hands off of each other and I love that they can&#8217;t deny how good they are together.<\/p>\n<p>There so much fun and lightheartedness in the beginning and then you are hit with a jaw-dropping twist. It\u2019s emotional and heartbreaking, and ends up being the part where I really fell head over heels for Declan. He is sweet, swoony, honest, and committed, and shows such a wonderful side to his character towards the end.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I really enjoyed Autumn and Declan&#8217;s journey and appreciated the ups and downs. \u00a0Even when there was pain, there was love, and the epilogue brings back the smiles, tying everything together nicely.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>She\u00a0<\/em>had\u00a0<em>saved him. She had created<\/em>them<em>. She<\/em><em>had wormed her way into his life, and then his heart, and broken him open in a hundred different ways. Gave him love and\u00a0<\/em><i>chaos and color in a world that had always been precise angles of grey.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>*ARC generously provided by the author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Alessandra Torre is an award-winning New York Times bestselling author of fourteen novels.
