A uniques premise for a paranormal romance between a woman and the angel of death. While the book was confusing at times (how to properly portsay celestial characters who do not experience time and language can be hard to follow), the two lead characters were interesting. While the story does tell of a romantic relationship, this novel is more a tale of Death's growing love for humanity in general. The ending was bittersweet and touching.

A sweet, quirky store with interesting characters and an slightly unusual premise.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for allowing me to read this ARC.

I really enjoyed this. It was funny, sweet and heartwarming and made me go Awww and laugh out loud several times. The way Death approaches life is adorable and Molly is just so loveable in a kick ass kinda way.

This was such an amazing read! I flew through this book in one afternoon because I could not stop! The characters were so unique and gripping that I really adored them. The author did a great job with keeping the plot moving and avoiding any stale moments. I will be recommending this book to everyone I know!

Thank you NetGalley for opportunity to read this novel. This story was very different from anything I have read. The love story was unique and story was original.

This one is tricky to review because I enjoyed it a lot but the writing style was – odd – and I can’t tell if I enjoyed it because of that or in spite of it. It felt a little bit amateurish, maybe like it hadn’t been edited and I was reading an early draft. There were moments that skipped in time a bit swapped between the person we were following with no warning at all, leaving you scrambling to keep up.

However the writing style was also charming, the plot was interesting and the characters fascinating. Death (he had many names but I’ll stick with Death for simplicity) was almost like an overgrown toddler in many ways – he was curious about everything and yet had a same time had very little idea about how the world actually worked as he exists in his own bubble of time where everyone else is frozen – at least that’s the case until he meets Molly.

Molly herself feels incredibly real somehow, yet at the same time she treats being able to see Death in her stride, doesn’t freak out and copes well with him constantly popping up to check in on her.

The relationship that developed between the lonely Molly and the equally lonely Death was delightful, it was sweet and painful and a bit silly really until it was all very serious.

A clever idea for a story and one I enjoyed – I don’t think it will be for everyone but then what is!

Molly Molloy and the Angel of Death was a totally different type of book than I normally read, but I really enjoyed it.

It took me a few chapters to get into the writing style of Ms. Molloy, but I absolutely enjoyed the naivete of Azrael/Death/Dee and the world-weariness, just ready to get on with her life Molly.

When Azrael takes Molly's Grandma's soul instead of hers, our story takes off. I love the way the author describes the care that Dee takes with the souls he collects - a total contradiction from the Grim Reaper with the scythe we have always been told to imagine.

Their love story is not typical, but it makes sense to me and I enjoyed the pace of this book and the way we all see things a different way.

I'm going to check out the authors other books - like Molly and Dee, I'm going to take expand my world, even if it's just through reading.

This book was given to me by NetGalley and the publisher for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

***SPOILER***

One thing that I can say with certainty is that I loved the ending of this book.

The book itself has a very interesting and intriguing premise but it lacked substance. The writing style felt all over the place. Every other paragraph was from a different characters’ point of view, and I had to reread the same paragraphs several times to understand who was speaking or thinking in that specific moment. It also felt like it needed more clear world building in order to understand why Death is who he is and to understand his otherworldly world. The same applies to Molly; there were mentions of her past, both good and bad (mostly bad) but it wasn’t enough for me to be clear as to why she is who she is. Her obsession with her family remains or her deceased ‘boyfriend’ remains is unclear. I also felt that it lacked additional trigger warnings such as mention of suicide, age-gap intimacy, or non-consensual sex. I really do see the potential in the ending and what its intent is, but it definitely lacked due to the writing style and unclear world building.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me the opportunity to read this ARC. To be honest, if it was on any other situation, I would have DNF this book.

Wow this is an absolutely amazing book with an incredibly unique premise and spin on the idea of Death and how he is personified. I absolutely loved all the characters and tat Death was this more awkward clusmy character who gets to experience giving a life. Overall an amazing premise which is really original and this just blew me away I couldn't put it down and really recommend.

I am insanely in love with this book! It was such a beautiful moving read. Molly is such an interesting character and Death/Azrael
, oh gosh I love his character. I feel like he is described so wonderfully. So achingly beautiful! I loved the plot line, the journey they take you on when Death decided to save a life instead of taking it. A definite must read! I cannot recommend this book enough. Azrael’s point of view is a little bit harder to follow at times but I love it all nonetheless.

Usually, when one reads a book about death personified, he is cool, macho and often a hard ass. This death is the opposite, he is clumsy, a little timid, and has no idea about what it is to be human. What a unique twist on not only death personified but also on Death's love story. Each character is so well written and so different from each other, yet they complement each other so well. This story did not go in the direction I thought it would but I loved every moment of it

I honestly did not know what to expect once I started to read this book, I almost DNF’d within the first few pages and I am truly thankful I continued to read it.

This book is so full of life, it’s definitely one not to be missed.

How does Dearh feel about his job? Can Death fall in love? What happens to us after we die? Vale pulls back the curtain for this orginal look behind the scenes of our everyday life, and death, experiences. I adored her perspective on those unknowable questions, and the heart she cultivated within these pages.
Bring Kleenex, and a curiosity for old English words. I truly enjoyed this book.

*Special thanks to NetGalley and Sungrazer Publishing for an e-arc of this novel.*

This book deserves more details. The plot is promising, and I’m not sure how it fell short. It was quite funny though!

I really enjoyed this story! I loved Death being a mail character but acting out of character. Molly is a very humorous character and I definitely enjoyed the interaction. There is romance and a little heartbreak. Definitely recommend.

Thanks to NG and the publisher for allowing me access to this story.

This book has me stumped. I can't decide if I really liked it or really hated it.

The language and the writing style just don't work. There is no flow to it and I found it very difficult to read. I had to put it down a few times because it was giving me a headach.

But something kept drawing me back to it. The character of death is just so interesting and likable I had to keep reading even though I didn't want to.

This is a beautiful love story with two fantastic main characters but I feel like the book didn't do justice to their story. it could have been an amazing book of I didn't have to re-read paragraphs to work out what they were actually trying to say.

This was an incredibly intriguing and quirky love story. I’m morbidly fascinated with Death as a character and I blame it on Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, where they engage in a series of board games with death to escape their fate, but also Death as he’s portrayed in Family Guy. So I loved the premise of Death falling in love with an ordinary waitress. I loved how inept he was in modern day NYC, after a mistake where Molly is saved from death by a chicken wing. He doesn’t have an understanding of modern day to day living and Molly is a little bit too much for him as well. She’s a very strong woman, hard working in her waitressing job and quite inured to death, since she’s experienced a lot of loss in her life. Death on the other hand is knocked sideways by her, which is delightful. They’re such an unlikely pair, but they do form a bond with each other. It’s always intoxicating to watch a character who is experiencing the fullness of life for the first time. I loved that the character experiencing life is someone who usually takes it away. He is now getting a taste of what he takes away from people. I had no idea where the story was going to go, but I was definitely there for the ride. Strangely joyful and unique.

I was sent an arc of this book for my honest review.

I’d like to thank NetGalley, the publishers, and Maria Vale for giving me the chance to read this book.

When Death ‘accidentally’ saves the girl whose life he was meant to take, what does he do? More so, what does he do when that girl turns out to be the most ordinary and amazing person he’s met?

I liked the premise of this book. The whole concept of Death being so infinite and yet so young in the ideals and ways of Earth and its inhabitants is an angle I thoroughly enjoyed reading about.

Both Molly and Dee were fun characters to read about and I liked to see how their relationship grew and how each other literally impacted the others existence.

However, I found the overall book quite difficult to follow. I found myself skim reading most of it. I wanted to know what happened to the pair but also wasn’t as invested with the story as I wanted to be. It didn’t really drag me in. Don’t get me wrong, I like how unique the writing style is for this book, I just feel that it was too different for me to enjoy. Others may absolutely adore the style but it just wasn’t for me.

So this tried to be humorous, but kinda fell flat, and also felt forced at times. Molly doesn't have friends somehow, and Death is either stupid, or.. idk.. oblivious to anything? How does someone exist for so long, but know so little about anyhhing?
It was an interesting story, dont get me wrong, but also weird and illogical, even for fantasy.
Also, the one ANNOYING trope really had no business being here. I was already struggling to get through the book, and that ruined it all.

This did not become a DNF because I am committed to finishing arcs.

The writing was overly complicated which made it difficult to want to read. Some sentences required multiple re-reads, and I have been an avid reader all my life, why was I so confused ? Some sentences were so long that they visually looked like paragraphs. There is nothing wrong with long, complex sentences, the author just did not execute well.

The grammar/writing style choices were insufferable and it really affected the book. The author had a great premise, and there was a lot of potential, but ultimately this book was not worth the time it required.
