Maggie by Mya O”Malley was quite a nice surprise. It’s basically a “who done it” book with a little good clean romance thrown in. It’ the “who done it” part that was the big surprise. One of the reasons I like mystery is because I like the anticipation of figuring out the villain. In Maggie, it’s quite a trick. I thought I had it, but then I didn’t, then I had it, but then I didn’t. A thoroughly enjoyable book……and did I mention the ghost? A sweet little paranormal story with quite an interesting little twist.
Maggie is the first book in Mya O’Malley’s Maggie Trilogy. It’s a thrilling ghost story with plenty of mystery and suspense. Our heroine, Naomi, finally overcomes her writer’s block when a ghost from the cemetery that backs onto her garden starts haunting her. Determined to tell Maggie’s story, Naomi is torn between creating a fictional version of events and uncovering the truth. With spooky dreams giving Naomi and the reader glimpses into Maggie’s fate as the book progresses, we are drawn into her story. I particularly like Zelda, Naomi’s cat. Zelda plays a hugely important role in the story by first drawing Naomi’s attention to Maggie’s grave, and is always up to various antics. Full of character, Zelda is a great companion for Naomi and a catalyst (CATalyst!) for events. There’s also a strong cast of (human) secondary characters. I was amused by Naomi’s friend Amy’s unfortunate attempts to set Naomi up with dates. I was entranced by little Holly’s instant affection for Naomi and her father Bryce’s warmth. For me, this is a four star book. It kept me on edge throughout – a real page-turner. I’d recommend for fans of the paranormal. A great book to snuggle up with on a cold, dark night!

Naomi has a knack for attracting attention from ethereal beings—whether she wants it or not. Newly engaged to her sexy neighbor, Bryce, she has little time to celebrate and plan for her upcoming wedding, because no sooner does she wrap up a heartbreaking cold case than she finds herself right back where she started, searching for answers alongside ghostly spirits.
This time, however, Naomi learns that things are not what they seem as a man from her past quickly becomes her worst nightmare. If she’s not careful, this man might crush her hopes and dreams forever as he proves to be her most difficult opponent yet.
Still, Naomi tries to focus on her relationship with Bryce. Can it withstand head games and cruel intentions? Naomi makes it her mission to keep Bryce and his daughter safe from harm, but will true love be tough enough to withstand her adversaries?
Naomi must keep her eyes wide open and question everything— and everyone—in order to survive.

Maggie (Maggie Trilogy Book 1) by Mya O’Malley was an exciting read. I loved the romance, mystery, and paranormal aspect of the story. Naomi is new to the town and is an author. Her new muse is a ghost haunting had. She is also dealing with issues from a past romance and is torn between two new guys. She is determined to figure out what happened to her muse and caused her to die. Maggie was too young to die.
The storyline is amazing and easy to get lost in. I could not put this book down. The characters were developed well and realistic. I found it easy to place myself in Naomi’s shoes in the story. I can’t wait to read the next book in this collection. I highly recommend it!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to share your home with an unearthly spirit who can’t find closure? Living on the edge of a cemetery with souls dating back to the 1700s would be enough to spook anyone, but Naomi finds it oddly romantic, and becomes inspired to write her next novel. Why not, when her muse, Maggie, calls to her from beyond her own window?
After all, the story couldn’t possibly be as complicated as Naomi’s own love life. Torn between Ryan, the mysterious and seemingly perfect man she just started dating, and Bryce, the sexy single dad who recently moved in next door, Naomi must navigate the tangled web of dating—all while trying to solve the mystery of Maggie’s death.
When things turn dangerous, Naomi quickly learns whom she can trust and, more importantly, whom she can’t. Will she be able to write Maggie’s story and finally give Maggie the peace she deserves?

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!

Lillie by Mya O’Malley is the last instalment in the Maggie Trilogy series and does not disappoint, it is full of the mystery and suspense of the other books but concludes this great series.
The story continues on with Bryce, Naomi and Holly,where Naomi has sold her house and moved in with Bryce but his houses holds secrets too.
Naomi hears a strange crying and goes to investigate but uncovers secrets from her past which she needs to uncover to move on.
I have loved theses stories and great characters, the riches of the story draws you into the book where you are so involved you need feel you have to finish just the page, then chapter and before you know it you have read the book. The story is well written and you will enjoy all the characters not just the living.
I am sad that this is the last book within this series but what a great book to finish on, I can’t wait to see what new series or other books this author writes because as they are on my list of must read authors.
