Lillie (Maggie Trilogy Book #3) by Mya O’Malley – Review by Angela Hayes

5 Stars

Lillie is the third book of the Maggie series by Mya O’Malley. It Follows on from Maggie (Book #1) and Naomi (Book #2). It could be read as a standalone, but having said that, there are aspects of the story that follow through the series, and I feel that you would benefit from reading all the books, in sequence, to have the best possible reading experience with this story.  It is a fantastic paranormal story, with intrigue, suspense, drama, choices, changes, history, a gift, emotions, danger, destiny, promises, visions, love, and mystery. I have really loved reading this series and can’t believe the trilogy has come to an end. Ms. O’Malley certainly saved the best till last with this book- my favourite of the series. I am a little sad that this is the final book- but also hopeful of a spin-off series that Ms. O’Malley hints at in her wrap up.

We met Naomi back in book one and have watched her on her journey through the two books- she has been through quite a lot over the course of the series and I felt this story really tested her. As we discovered in book one, Naomi can see and hear spirits who flock to her for help in finding some closure. This means her life is anything but ‘normal’. She and Bryce have recently gotten married and Naomi had hoped to have some ‘spirit’ free time to enjoy married life. But that’s not to be, and she soon finds herself in a challenging situation. Her adorable step-daughter Holly has a new friend, Lillie- whose presence will set off a chain of events that make this story unputdownable. There will be much to learn, choices to make, a puzzle to unravel, and a destiny to fulfill. This book really is worth the read!

This book/series is quite original, well crafted, and superbly written. I had to find out what would happen, reading the whole book in one sitting. As I have come to expect from this talented author, Ms. O’Malley added some surprising developments into the story that I didn’t see coming, which certainly held my attention! I loved the way Ms. O’Malley wrapped up the story, it was a perfect way to end the book/series.

I can’t wait to see what she does next!

Thank you, Ms. O’Malley!
