A review by yesica
Maeve Fly by CJ Leede

dark informative reflective sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.0

What I Liked:
This is very much a what if a Disney princess was also a serial killer.
Gideon is much like Maeve in terms of expressing emotions but you can genually tell he cares about Maeve.

What I Didn't Like:
brief description of how Maeve is going to rape her boss using a pipe and a live animal

honestly this is a big reason why I will not be giving this book 5 stars
The horror could have been more extreme. EXCEPT the Liz and Andres part.

Overall:
Don't let the tags confuse you this is very much a romance novel.
This was fucking amazing and that ending was just.... This book had me balling my eyes out and pissed off by the end.
I really loved Maeve. I found her to be relatable, especially with how much she values the few real relationships she has.
I love how that despite women being among those killed, their torture never felt sexually gratifying and the only really graphic torture scenes in this book all have men as their victims

I will look forward to more of this author’s work.
