The House That Adelia Built by Mya O’Malley – Review by Angela Hayes
5 Stars
The House that Adelia Built by Mya O’Malley is so much more than a paranormal romance. There is so much going for this fascinating tale of love, lies, loss, betrayal, heartache, mystery, suspense, nightmares, discovery, surprises, isolation, madness, confusion, conflict, drama, adventure, happiness, tragedy, unravelling the truth, trust, and finding closure. The story had so many interconnected elements and character details that I really was glued to the pages and paying close attention to what I was reading- so I wouldn’t miss a thing. The story had my mind racing, trying to piece it all together and figure out where Ms. O’Malley was taking the storyline- I had so many scenarios running through my head, but never managed to pin down exactly where the story would lead, such was the unpredictable nature of this fantastic read. I really didn’t see that ending coming!! Ms. O’Malley proves once more that she excels at weaving compelling and captivating paranormal stories.
The storyline switches back and forth from past to present perspectives quite seamlessly and allows the reader to really get a feel for the story and characters. I was emotionally invested in the story and the wonderful character- and I definitely shed a few tears through this book, because I was just so immersed in the story and felt for the characters and what they had been/were going through.
The characters are really unique, well crafted and somewhat quirky individuals who came to life with Ms. O’Malley’s clever wordsmithing. I loved all the interconnected details of the story and how seemingly small elements/connections were later found to have much greater meaning/importance.
I really recommend this book to anyone who loves a great paranormal storyline, with some supernatural elements, some mystery and suspense, wonderful characters, some romance, and surprises that will keep you on your toes. I really can’t wait to read whatever Ms. O’Malley does next, she never disappoints!
Thank you, Ms. O’Malley!
