Editorial Reviews Review "A Divine Invite, penned by the talented Maggie Havoc, is the enthralling first installment of the Ancients series. This captivating work of fantasy fiction immerses readers in a spellbinding world of supernatural intrigue, where the unexpected is always just around the corner. Havoc masterfully weaves an intricate storyline, melding two distinct worlds and chronicling Ellie's supernatural odyssey with finesse. Each chapter is meticulously crafted, showcasing the author's descriptive prowess and creating a vivid, immersive reading experience. The intricate plot is adorned with mythical elements that only serve to amplify its allure while Ellie's warrior spirit breathes life into her character.""A Divine Invite boasts a rich ensemble of supporting characters, each endowed with unique qualities that lend depth to the narrative. This book offers a veritable feast of mythological figures, from witches and angels to demons and other fantastical beings.""A Divine Invite is a gripping innovative supernatural fantasy novel with a unique concept with flawless execution. This mesmerizing tale is a testament to Havoc's storytelling prowess and will undoubtedly leave readers eager for more." Literary Titan Review, ★★★★★ "A fascinating take on Christian myths that engages both the head and the heart, A Divine Invite by Maggie Havoc is a highly original work of spiritual fantasy. Ellie is a trainee police officer struggling with her weight and her self-esteem whose life is forever changed by an encounter with the divine, allowing her to see supernatural beings and the battle between light and dark that is all around us, and sending her on a quest to understand her birthright before she is dragged down to hell forever. Breezily and thoughtfully written, the novel takes good-against-evil fantasy into decidedly dark places, while also offering an engaging degree of levity, for a finely balanced, character-driven work of fantasy, which delivers an exceptional intro to a series." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★½ "In Havoc's series-launching debut Ellie O'Neill, a police station clerk, is subjected to three tests of faith. Meanwhile the Devil's soul-scout and debt collector, Johnny Knight, becomes fascinated by Ellie (because) as far as Johnny can tell, she also doesn't have a soul. The fantastical narrative showcases various monsters and such delightful inventions as Johnny's magic coat, which is seemingly able to hold anything. Animated characters fuel this commendable start to a fantasy saga." Kirkus Reviews"Reading the next installment in the series (is) a virtual necessity." Kirkus Reviews
