Review: Death & Maia by A.C. Jolly

“...And then–then–she laughs. It wouldn’t be much of one from any other person on earth, nothing more than a smile with wind. But it’s like she’s never done it before, ever, and her face changes aspect, or the light shining on it changes colour.” (p. 35) ★★★★★ 🌶🌶🌶 Review: An all-consuming sapphic romance Death has come for Maia, but Maia’s final request ignites a burning longing in Death, rendering her enthralled. I am left speechless. Death & Maia is a poetic and deliciously emotional sapphic fantasy written as Maia’s stream of consciousness. Its intensity is absorbing, making it feel like a full sensory experience. I cannot remember the last time a book transformed me so powerfully. These are pages you will want to savor. I was searching for an evocative sapphic romance, and it found me. I am so thankful to the author for mailing me a gifted copy from across the Atlantic.

Review: A Curve in the Road by Julianne MacLean


★★★☆☆

Review:

How do you cope with the realization that your seemingly perfect marriage is all a lie? How do you determine how much information is appropriate to divulge to your heartbroken teenage son? Does any of the new information you've gleaned have any significance in the aftermath, anyway? At what point is it appropriate to move on from the past and step into a new life? 

Abbie has struggled with both heartbreak and sleep disturbances since her car accident. This is a story of rebuilding after unimaginable circumstances. It is a story of resilience and growth in the face of seemingly insurmountable events. 

It is difficult to review this book without giving away too much information. Suffice it to say that when things seem to only get worse, sometimes accepting additional sacrifices is the key to moving forward.

Audience: adultt
Recommended for fans of: women's fiction
Trigger warnings: death

 Publisher's Synopsis:

 From USA Today bestselling author Julianne MacLean comes a suspenseful, emotionally charged novel that explores the secrets and hidden truths within a seemingly perfect marriage.

Abbie MacIntyre is living the dream in the picturesque Nova Scotia town she calls home. She is a successful surgeon, is married to a handsome cardiologist, and has a model teenage son who is only months away from going off to college.

But then one fateful night, everything changes. When a drunk driver hits her car, Abbie is rushed to the hospital. She survives, but the accident forces unimaginable secrets out into the open and plagues Abbie with nightmares so vivid that she starts to question her grip on reality. Her perfect life begins to crack, and those cracks threaten to shatter her world completely.

The search for answers will test her strength in every way—as a wife, a career woman, and a mother—but it may also open the door for Abbie to move forward, beyond anger and heartbreak, to find out what she is truly made of. In learning to heal and trust again, she may just find new hope in the spaces left behind.
