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.
