Death needs a do-over.
Azrael---grim reaper and devourer of worlds--has messed up. Instead of taking Molly Molloy's soul, he patted her on the back and saved her from choking on an atomic chicken wing.
Now she can see him. Talk to him. Touch him. Say 'no' to him. And make him question the assumptions he has held for an eternity.
Molly is sick of Death capsizing her life. He'd taken her parents, then her grandparents, then her first great love.
Now, just as she was on the verge of getting her life together with a job that paid enough and a NYC apartment that didn't cost too much, Death interferes again in ways she could never have imagined.
The Powers that Be want Azrael to fix his mistake but before he can, Death makes one more.
He falls in love.
My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book! I've loved her other books, and this one sounded good, and it absolutely was! It was weird, and not at all what I expected, but I had a really great time with it! I loved reading about Azrael, grim reaper!
I utterly loved Azrael and Molly's dynamic. That they had all this time together because of a mistake, yeah, it was just that bit funny, in this so very strange novel. They were different, and things are complicated by the fact that he should kill her, but he doesn't.
The fact Death only knows about human culture from a very narrow scope-but that humanness also means he has to basically scrape it off to go report and such, which was really interesting way at looking at things, and I loved what that meant for his character!
This story was just so great to read, so strange and adorable, and I just loved this cast of characters, and oh, where it went, between the pregnancy and everything else, I wasn't sure how it was going to end, but I really enjoyed the ride! I'm so glad that I read this book!
This was a great read and I can't wait to read more by Maria Vale!
