4.25 of 5 starsFor original review see The Prism Book Alliance Blog onlineCaravaggio’s Angel by Chris Quinton is a beautifully written and timeless love story. Paul has been exiled by his family for this sexuality, upon the death of his father, he discovers just how deep that betrayal goes. His beloved uncle has bee gone for two years, but his father sat on the information. He immediately picks up and goes to Malta, and the home of his uncle. There is a bit of a mystery while much love blossoms between Paul and Angelo.I do not think there were many secrets in this tale, If you read carefully, you knew how things would play out. That, however, did not keep me from adoring Paul and Angelo. (Even if Paul was a bit of a douche for not attempting to visit a favorite uncle for so long). I loved that Paul did not immediately accept or assume that Angelo was who he was. I loved that he attempted to find other, mortal, explanations for the things he saw. I loved that Angelo seemed as enamored with Paul and Paul was with him. I loved that we got to know the characters before they were thrown into turmoil.I did not love Calvin, even in the end, he was such a douche I could not feel sympathy for him in any way. Nico was the villain of the story, but Calvin was too quick to assume to the worst. His fiance, however, I liked (even if I could not see why she would want Calvin). In the end, I think all my questions about Angelo and Paul were answered.If you like angel stories, this is a good one.
