Molly Molloy & the Angel of Death
So…The New York Times tapped Molly as one of the ten top romances of 2023 and I feel like I just wandered into the cotillion wearing jorts.
“In a year full of very funny books, Maria Vale’s MOLLY MOLLOY AND THE ANGEL OF DEATH was hands down the funniest, as sharp and stunning as a bracing slap to the face…Strange, sly and absolutely unforgettable.”
There are mistakes and there are miracles. Sometimes they are the same.
Death needs a do-over.
Azrael--Grim Reaper, Destroyer, Angel of Death--has messed up. Instead of taking Molly Molloy's soul, he saved her from choking on a chicken wing.
Molly has been visited by Death before: He took her parents, her grandparents and her first love.
But now this utterly unexceptional waitress at a New York City breastaurant can see him. Touch him. Talk to him. Say ‘no’ to him. And make him doubt.
The Powers that Be are waiting for Death to fix his mistake. But before he can, he makes one more...
He falls in love.
“For sheer defiance, you can’t beat Maria Vale’s Molly Molloy & the Angel of Death— a weird, adorable stunner of a romance.” —The New York Times
“[A] thought-provoking, wonder-filled celebration of the circle of life...[A] richly imagined tale of love from its beginning to the bitter end.” —Publishers Weekly starred review
“Molly Molloy is a quiet masterpiece. An otherworldly story that feels intimate and strange and real all at once. One read isn’t enough.” —Adriana Anders, Award-winning author of Whiteout
"Heartbreaking and humorous, Molly Molloy is as unexpected as it is gorgeous. I adored this book." —Josephine Angelini, bestselling author of the Starcrossed series
“I don't say this lightly, but this is one of the loveliest, most unique, most thoughtful, and ultimately best books I have ever read. I loved every second of it.” —Jess Hardy, author of Come as You Are
Snippet from Audiobook of Wolf in the Shadows
I love what Senn Annis & Julio Maxwell did for Julia and Arthur’s story.
Julia Martel was once a spoiled young shifter surrounded by powerful males who shielded her from reality. Now she is a prisoner of the Great North Pack, trusted by no one and relegated to the care of the pack's least wolf, the Omega, Arthur Graysson—the only wolf who has shown her kindness—but who wrestles with his own dangerous secrets. Every day with Arthur opens Julia to the harsh wonder of Pack life and to a bond unlike any she's ever known. But when the Pack is threatened, Julia must confront a legacy of doubt and insecurity. Only then can she lay claim to the power and fierceness that is her birthright. Only then can she protect the wolves she has grown to love.

Varya is fiercely loyal to the Great North Pack, which took her in when she was an orphaned teenager. While out on a midnight patrol, Varya finds Eyulf, a rogue shifter, wounded and starving. In a slippery escape from danger, she saves his life, at great risk to her own.
Eyulf was once rejected by his pack as an infant and has never understood why, or what he is...until Varya crosses his path and introduces him to a new Pack world.
With old and new enemies threatening the Great North, Varya knows that she must keep Eyulf hidden. Until the day they must fight to the death for the Pack's survival, side by side and heart to heart with a love unbound...
Senn Annis did a brilliant job of narrating my beloved unloveable heroine, Varya Timursdottir.
For Alpha Evie Kitwanasdottir, things are never easy. The Great North Pack has just survived a deadly attack. Evie is determined to do whatever is necessary to keep her Pack safe, especially from the four Shifters who are their prisoners.
Constantine lost his parents and his humanity on the same devastating day. He has been a thoughtless killer ever since. When Constantine is moved to live under Evie's watchful eye, he discovers that taking directions and having a purpose are not the same thing.
Each moment spent together brings new revelations to Constantine, who begins to understand the loneliness of being Alpha. He finds strength and direction in helping Evie, but there is no room for a small love in the Pack, so Constantine must work harder than ever to prove to Evie he is capable of a love big enough for the Great North Pack itself.
