Synopsis

NAMED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES AS ONE OF THE 10 BEST ROMANCES OF 2023: "A weird, adorable stunner of a romance."

Death needs a do-over.

Azrael—angel of death, grim reaper, destroyer of worlds—has messed up. Instead of taking Molly Molloy's soul, he patted her on the back and saved her from choking on a chicken wing.

Now this extraordinarily ordinary New York City waitress can see him. Talk to him. Touch him. Say 'no' to him. And make him question every assumption he has about what it means to live.

The Powers that Be are impatient with him to fix his mistake but before he can, Death makes one more.

He falls in love.

Goodreads review by Rosh ~on extended semihiatus~ on April 11, 2023

In a Nutshell:The premise had potential, but something went wrong in the execution. I am still trying to figure out what it was! Story Synopsis: Azrael, or Death as he is now known in the human world, made a mistake. When he had to take Molly Molloy’s soul, (she was supposed to choke over a chicken......more

Goodreads review by mimi (taylor’s version) on February 04, 2025

I'm sure Molly Molloy & the Angel of Death is as cute, sweet and heartbreaking as the content warning said it is, but Maria Vale’s style is not for me. The story has potential and it’s captivating enough to put the many aspects aside - latin sentences here and there, hoping they're correct; descripti......more

Goodreads review by K.D. on November 09, 2023

Wow! Found this little gem on a NYT recommended romance list, and just WOW! It's hard to find comparisons for this novel, that was not at all what I'd expected. Death makes a mistake and ends up saving the life of Molly, the woman whose soul he's come to collect, and in his efforts to correct that m......more

So... How to talk about this one. As Vale is quick to state, it's not a romance. It is a love story, though. Death/Azrael/Neshama'le/Dee isn't exactly the Grim Reaper as you imagine him. Sure, he travels the world and collects souls from every dying person, but he wears thrift store t-shirts and a du......more

Goodreads review by Ashley on December 03, 2023

This book thrust me into a dream state much like twilight sedation. I asked the book gods for a romance or love story that’s unique and boy did they deliver. This book came to f*ck sh*t up and that’s just what it did. It’s fantastical in vocabulary, style, and plot. There were sentences I had to rer......more
