I read this book a couple years back about a boy who's baby sister is extremely ill, and one day, after they move into their new house, he finds an ill man in his basement. I can't find the title or anything, but I do know how it starts and ends. Basically, the man is an angel, who fell from heaven and was left to rot in a basement. He loves chinese food and calls it nectar and ambrosia of the gods. He also has wings. Anyone know this book?

I'm not familiar with the book in question but the story reminded me of the real life case of Mary Bell, she was an 11year old killer and committed the murders with a friend of hers.
Just putting a spoiler in case other people are triggered by talking about true crime.
Maybe the book you read was a fictionalised version of the events (?)
That does sound familiar, but I can't remember if anyone was actually murdered...I think there was a fire at one point but...idk. There was a scene in the book where the friend, who was being questioned by the police, exclaimed that they couldn't confront her former friend's father because he'd hurt her. The way she phrased the abuse was...almost childish, and very unorthodox. It was the sort of description Pippa Longstocking might use to describe something. Intelligent, but descriptive in a way that isn't serious, even in this context. I'll look into it though, thank you.
Unfortunately, the book had nothing to do with aunt's or any of the sort. The book I read was set in a village, and there was no abuse on the end of the protagonist, just her friend Thank you for the suggestion though. Tbh, it's a book that I've wondered about ever since leaving primary, because a book like that being in a school's library...there were other books with mature themes, but I think that definitely came from someone who was digging for a bit of horror, and after trying to read it, decided that they wanted to preserve their innocence and childhood. Too bad I had no such restraint. I was a depressed mf that fed on books and lived on spiteXD
