When it comes to Maggie, I could not put this down. I started reading one evening, next thing I know I had finished the book and it was 4 am. Mya O’Malley knows how to tell a story, and keep you hooked and throw in some unsuspecting twists that have you screaming “oh my god!” And waking up your husband in a worry in the middle of the night. I enjoyed every second of this book, I loved Naomi and she was my kind of heroine, having been in several situations as her, (minus the ghosts). I too was torn between Bryce and Ryan, but who could blame us? I’m super excited to get started on the next Book, Naomi. 5 out of 5 stars

Lillie by Mya O’Malley a thrilling four-star read. This is number three in the Maggie Trilogy and follows on from Maggie and Naomi so I would strongly recommend you read them in order to get the most out of the story. The flow is strong between all of the stories and the author does an impressive job of keeping it all together, I am assuming they either have very comprehensive notes or an amazing memory as the details have been kept strong and don’t let the story down at all. Naomi is a great character and one that will surprise you with her story, this is a great trilogy, but it does let itself down a tiny bit in places. But that is just my opinion and I would still recommend you check the series out, as I have had some great enjoyment out of this.

Lillie (Maggie Trilogy Series Book 3) by Mya O’Malley. This is the 3rd book in the series and I highly recommend reading the first 2 to fully get this story. Its a great story about a lady named Naomi and her connection to the spirit world. She is newly married to her soulmate Bryce and she was hoping to settle down with him before she has to help her friend Officer Miriam Marty solve a crazy case. Holly is her new stepdaughter and she is crazy about her but her new friend Lillie even plays into all the craziness! This new spirit has confused Naomi more than any other. Can Naomi help this spirit find an outlet or will it cause major chaos. I loved this series and this was a beautiful completion of the series! Do yourself a favor and read this series!

Maggie is the first book in the Maggie Trilogy by Mya O’Malley. It is a very well written paranormal romance. This is the first time I have read any work by this author so was unsure what to expect from this book. I have to say that I was hooked from the very first page and did not want to put this book down. Damn real life for getting in the way and making me go to work wondering what was going to happen next. Naomi is a writer who moves into a house on the edge of a graveyard. When the spirit of one of the dead people in the graveyard regularly visits her house, Naomi becomes intrigued as to how this young girl (Maggie) died. When Naomi delves further and further into Maggie’s death, she’s convinced that her death was not the drowning accident that the police are saying it was. There is so much to this story that will take your breath away. There are many twists and turns that leave you reeling and a conclusion you will not see coming. An important element to the story is Naomi’s relationships. She’s recently split from the dangerous controlling Nick, who she is afraid of. She has been having a relationship with Ryan who becomes more like her best friend rather than a boyfriend. Then there is the gorgeous single dad Bryce who has just moved in beside her who has her heart fluttering just by being in his presence. This is a fantastic book. The storyline will have you hooked and the characters are so well written. This book sucks you in and doesn’t let you go. I can’t wait to read the other 2 books in this trilogy which are sitting in my kindle shouting to me.

Maggie was so full of twists and turns it was so hard to put down. Although I had my suspicions about certain aspects, I was never quite sure until all was explained. I have not read a lot of supernatural type books before but really enjoyed this one and look forward to reading the sequels. It will be interesting to see how Mya O’Malley develops the core characters Naomi and Bryce.

Maggie by Mya O’Malley is book one of the Maggie Trilogy. This book is not like many of the other books I’ve read. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but I really enjoyed it!
Naomi is a very imaginative writer and tries to stay open to her surroundings and uses it as inspiration for her novels. Maggie has been a huge inspiration for Naomi and there is sure a mystery to solve. While Naomi tries to solve Maggie’s mystery, she also has her hands full when she meets Ryan and then Bryce. Who knew, after her dating past, that she’d find two great guys.
This book was very entertaining and I couldn’t put it down! I had to know what was going to happen next. It was impossible to predict what was going to happen and how things would play out which made the book even better to read. I can’t wait to read book two!
Maggie (Maggie Trilogy Book 1) by Mya O’Malley was a thrilling read! Normally I would never mix a thriller with the supernatural but I could not resist. This book had me struggling to put the book down, I was captivated by the story. The plot is thick and keeps you glued to your screen. I am sure just the thrills and chills will give me nightmares but it will be well worth it. I could easily see everything unfolding like a movie, I cannot wait to get into books 2 and 3.
Naomi just moved in to what should be her dream writing home! An old house sitting on the edge of a cemetery with graves dating back to the 1700s. It’s definitely a paranormal writers dream! Then weird things start happening and she finds that the house and land beyond is haunted by a young lady named Maggie. Naomi decides Maggie’s story is the next thing she’s going to write and finds herself in serious danger as she digs deeper into her investigation. She finds herself torn between two seemingly perfect men, Ryan and Bryce. Oh, and also has her ex stalking her!
What will she find as she continues to dig? Will she solve the mystery or die trying? This story is filled with mystery and keeps you guessing as to what is going to happen next. There’s a huge plot twist at the end (but I’m proud to say I saw it coming!) This was an interesting read and I’m looking forward to what comes next in this series.

Naomi fell in love with her little house that was built centuries ago, with a backdrop of a cemetery in her backyard. She was drawn to it for many reasons, even some she3 doesn’t recognize. Her life has been a bit chaotic and she finds herself suddenly wrapped up in one crazy mishap after another while trying to navigate her social life. Much to her dismay, her friend Amy convinces her to go on blind double dates over and over, trying to help her to overcome the aftermath of a disastrous relationship. In the course of these adventures, she meets a mysterious man who piques her interest in many ways. He’s kind, adventurous has a lof of life and full of kindness she hasn’t always known. His interest in her life feels just so good. Then walks in Bryce and she’s suddenly trying to maneuver her feelings for both men while tackling her writer’s block and a beloved cat’s antics that have her scratching her head.
What Naomi doesn’t see coming is the appearance of Maggie, the ghost of a young woman who is in peril. She can’t move on, is restless and is in desperate need of peace. In order to find that peace, she’s drawn to Naomi and attempts to get her to help her find what she seeks. Through their interactions, Naomi is faced with a mystery she’s determined to figure out. She’s going to figure it out, even if it costs her the love of a good friend, a budding relationship and oddly enough, some of her sanity.
Through this whole adventure, she’s on, I found myself totally enraptured. The characters are well built, entertaining and have a touch of rawness that makes them so real. I never saw it coming, the truth behind Ryan, what really happened to Maggie and even Nick’s involvement in some of it. I loved how I was so caught up in their story. I felt all the emotions and then some. It’s such a good book with a paranormal spin that added a terrific layer to the mystery. I commend the author for making the paranormal happenings believable and real. I felt an awesome connection to Maggie and Naomi. It’s such a fabulous read!

I couldn’t put this book down once I started reading. There were twists and turns, and as soon as you thought you knew what was going on there was a twist, it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. It was interesting and entertaining to see how Zelda (the cat) reacted to Maggie. Naomi was very open minded to the ghost in her house. Although Naomi could be very naive at times she did have a big heart and truly wanted to help. Even though Naomi just got out of a bad relationship she was still willing to let her friend set her up, which turned out to be a very bad date. If it wouldn’t have been for that bad date she wouldn’t have met Ryan who happen to be at the bar when she was on her bad date. Ryan was very attractive and there seemed to be a connection right away. Bryce and Holly, Naomi’s attractive new neighbor and his daughter are two refreshing characters in this story. I don’t want to give anything away but I loved this book, there is romance, suspense, and some wonderful characters and I highly recommend reading it.
What a mysterious, sometimes fun, sometimes scary story to read. Ghosts, jealous lovers, and best of friends. This is not my first book by O’Malley because she writes such entrancing stories of mystery. Surprises at every turn. Naomi is the female main character and has many jobs. Writer, mystery solver, friend, lover. She is strong willed and smart. Finding the ghost of Maggie, solving the mystery surrounding her life and death and dealing with Ryan, Nick and Bryce, leaves Naomi a little exhausted, crazy almost. I really enjoyed reading about Naomi and Maggie and look forward to reading the next story in this trilogy.
This was an amazing story full of mystery and shows that true love last forever in life and in death.
Naomi is a writer who moves into a new home. Looking for something to create a story she takes a wander through the grave yard behind her house, where she comes across the grave of a young woman called Maggie.
Wondering what awful thing ended this young girls life she sets out to find out Maggie’s story, uncovering more than she realised.
This book is full of surprising twists and turns and keeps you guessing as the story of Maggie unfolds.
Maggie was a great novel! With equal parts suspense, mystery and romance, I had trouble putting this paranormal story down! This novel had great characters, story and plot. The development of everything was great! I can’t wait to read the rest of this series, and join in more of Naomi’s fears and adventures. This is the first time I’ve read a novel by Mya O’Malley and it definitely won’t be the last!
Maggie is the first book in the trilogy series by Mya O’Malley. I really enjoy Mya O’Malley’s work. Her attention to detail and story telling ability is amazing. The characters are fully developed and complex which makes it easy to relate to. The story has many subject matters, mystery, excitement, and suspense to name a few. When you read this story, I would keep an open mind. This story has a theme of spirit guides. I loved the story of Naomi. She is a writer that gets her inspiration from spirits in a haunted house. There are also questions about her personal feelings to two different people. The mystery around Naomi is captivating. Will Naomi sort out her feelings and choose someone? Will her story about the spirits become more than a story? One will have to read this book to find out.

This was such an interesting book! Definitely different than anything I have read before. It was a story unfolding as you were reading because the MC is a writer. She moves to a new house and started to write a book. I love all of the main characters because they’re so well written. I couldn’t put this one down and I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future! Happy reading!
Oh my word! I was terrified to read this because I do not do ghosts well but I am SO glad I did! This was hands down the best book I have read all year. Incredible writing, rich characters, surprising plot points, and a feeling of absolute realism are woven throughout this entire book. I can not recommend it enough! I am already hooked and can’t wait to read the next. Absolute perfection. 5 stars.

“Maggie” by Mya O’Malley will have you questioning whether ghosts are real or not. I found the premise of this story to be fascinating. Our main character, Naomi, is inspired to write a novel about a woman named Maggie who is buried in the cemetery behind Naomi’s home. Naomi believes Maggie has an untold story about her death and begins seeing her ghost.
As I was reading, there were a few things that bothered me. For example, everyone seems to believe in Naomi’s story about seeing the ghost of Maggie without much skepticism. Also, at times the dialogue seemed unnatural. However, this was an easy and enjoyable read. I would recommend it to anyone who likes paranormal romance.
Absolutely amazing book! I was hooked from the first page and couldn’t put it down. You think you’ve figured it out, but there are so many twists and turns. The main character Naomi is a writer, and she seems to be the only person that can uncover the truth about Maggie. As I was reading I felt spooked out but in the best way possible. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!

If Naomi thought solving three murders was going to earn her a respite from the spirits who flock to her for guidance and resolution, she couldn’t have been more wrong. This time around, helping her friend, Officer Miriam Marty, solve a particularly daunting case is just the beginning.
Newly married to her soul mate, Bryce, Naomi figured she could settle in and enjoy the first few months of marriage without the all-consuming task of helping the spirits around her find the closure they so desperately seek. She should have known there was no chance of normalcy, though—even her stepdaughter Holly’s quirky new friend, Lillie, adds to the confusion.
This time, Naomi’s challenge is unique. Not only does she have to put her heart and soul into helping an intricate, beautiful ghost, but this precious soul soon teaches Naomi that her path in life, her fate, has led her to precisely where she needs to be.
Everything about Naomi’s past experiences with the paranormal crashes together as Naomi becomes entwined in the entangled plot that has become her life, alongside the unique souls that complete her destiny.

Maggie (Maggie Trilogy Book 1) by Mya O’Malley. This is a creepy mystery that I loved! Its the story of Naomi who has moved into a house on the edge of an old cemetery. Most people would be scared but not Naomi she thinks its romantic. From the very beginning she believes her house is haunted and it makes her want to start her novel. She is led to a grave of a woman named Maggie by her cat Zelda. Deciding that her next novel will be about Maggie she starts to dig into the background of her death. She finds out it was a drowning/boating accident but Naomi doesn’t believe that. She also believes Maggie is the one haunting her house and wants Naomi to solve her murder. All the while Naomi meets a neighbor named Ryan that she meets while on a blind date with another man. During her research into Maggie’s death she meets Bryce and she’s immediately attracted to him. She is so confused about everything happening in her life. Will she solve Maggie’s murder so her spirit can be set free and will she choose which man she wants to share her life with. Read Maggie to find out. You will love it!
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!

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?
