Naomi (Maggie Trilogy Book 2) by Mya O’Malley – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Naomi by Mya O’Malley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Naomi is the second book in Mya O’Malley’s Maggie trilogy. It is a ghost story, centring around the protagonist Naomi who has the ability to see ghosts. In the first book, she solved the mysteries surrounding the death of a young woman who was buried in the graveyard at the end of her garden. In this book, it gets a lot more personal and dangerous with a ghost seemingly bent on ruining the happiness Naomi has found.

This is an enjoyable, gripping series. There’s lots of mystery and the reader is dropped enough clues that, over time, we begin to piece things together. Naomi is often in danger making for a tense, thrilling read. I couldn’t put the book down!

Naomi is a great continuation of the series. It builds on what we’ve already learnt of ghosts and what they want and after capable of. We get to see the development of Naomi’s relationship with Bryce and Holly too, and see Bryce struggle to accept and support Naomi’s calling in life.

For me, this is a five star book. I’d recommend it to fans of ghost stories and mysteries. It’s definitely worth reading the books in order as the events of Naomi very much follow on from the first book, Maggie.
