Book description


Death needs a do-over.

Azrael--Grim Reaper, Destroyer, Angel of Death--has messed up. Instead of taking Molly Molloy's soul, he accidentally saves her from death by chicken wing. Now this utterly unexceptional waitress at a New York City breastaurant can see him.

Touch him.

Talk to him.

Question him.

Make him…

Why read it?

1 author picked Molly Molloy and the Angel of Death as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is so very weird in the best possible way. It’s also gritty, unglamorous, tender, and impossibly beautiful.

Death isn’t some grand, scary figure, but rather a bit of a hapless rube. And his love interest Molly is doing the best she can under very trying circumstances. Seeing them come together and carve out a life is both heartbreaking and heart-healing.
