I was probably in a snarky mood because the setup did not captivate me at first—A witch generationally cursed never to find true love sets out to break the spell cast on her family and must team up with the last person who wants to help her – the witch who set the curse in the first place.

The Maze by Nelson DeMille is book 8 in DeMille’s John Corey series and is likely to be the last. The author died in September of 2024. I picked up The Maze on a whim in September unaware of that. Several of DeMille’s books already grace my bookshelves and my Kindle, and I was excited to read one of his latest. I miss knowing he’s in the world. DeMille’s books are labeled Mystery Action, Suspense, Action Thriller, Political Thriller—and more, and […]
