Malachi and I by J.J. McAvoy

I always love a mystical romance, especially when it involves reincarnation.

400 pages, Contemporary Mystical Romance

About the book: What if I told you the greatest love stories ever told—Cleopatra and Mark Antony, Salim and Anarkali, Romeo and Juliet and so many more—are far greater tragedies than anyone has ever realized? What if I told you that you haven’t been reading a new story… just a new chapter in one epic saga? If I told you…all of those lovers…were actually the same two souls seeking their happily ever after over and over again, would you believe me? 
Would you believe them? 
Born again, 
Love again, 
Part again, 
Was their curse. 
In this modern era, will they find eternal love or will they be doomed to repeat the cycle forever? 

This book took me on a historical journey allowing me to relive some of the most famous tales of love, like Romeo and Juliet, and it includes also an Igbo tale of Obinna and Adaeze’s love.

The story opens with Esther, her grandfather Alfred, and their publishing house talking about the release of Malachi Lord’s next book and the team talking about the pre-release preparations. Malachi is the author who is aloof and loves his own space for fear that he might meet the live of his life, falling live again and watch her die as the case has been for four hundred years. He relives every time he’s lost her and that’s until Alfred asks him to take in Esther, his granddaughter who happens to be Malachi’s super fan, until he’s sought treatment.

What starts out as an invasion of space for Malachi soon turns out to be the one thing he was afraid of. You’ll have to read the book to get what Malachi fears
I loved this book and the chemistry between Malachi and Esther. It’s the first book I’ve read as written by McAvoy and one thing is clear for me, I’d love to read more of her books. Receiving an advanced readers copy of this book from NetGalley has been a wonderful trip into history and I’d read it a thousand times over.

Coffee verdict:
