Maebe is a a tale of longing, discovery, and empowerment.
Sullivan wields her exceptional talent for making popular urban fantasy tropes her own. Shape shifters, fae, & vampires to name just a few found in this work.
I believe you will be happy to have picked this one up.
The cast of characters rounds out nicely with a pliant and dutiful wife, Maebe, complimented by her fiesty side kick, Theo, a superb selection of magical creatures and a big nasty that you love to hate, Maebe’s husband.
The story is a fun ride as we watch Maebe grow from a meek mouse into something much more fierce, exactly what that is you will have to find in the pages.
In order to become that “something more” Maebe must overcome physical and emotional obstacles. She will question what she thought she knew about everything and everyone.
I absolutely adore how Dzintra tells a story. In this and her other works the character dynamics and dialogue are top tier work. The pace and flow make for serious page turning. Sharp wit, and perfectly timed jibes and one liners are a Dzintra trademark.
Her prose is utterly addictive.
If you open this book around bedtime you may lose some sleep, “Just a another few pages,” turns into more than you will realize very quickly.
The narrative of Maebe contains very real elements found in many abusive & controlling domestic relationships.
Sullivan doesn’t pull many punches and you should be more than a bit contemplative when considering the behaviors penned into the narrative and the topic of domestic abuse overall.
Please be aware and be there.
