Metaphysical Time‑Slip Romantic Drama with Historical and Karmic Themes.
Lilith: The Woman Who Walked Between Worlds is a dual‑POV, dual‑timeline metaphysical novel told in first person, unfolding across the modern world and 14th‑century Florence on the edge of the Renaissance.
Lilith’s journey begins in present‑day St. Augustine, Florida, where a single encounter with Marek awakens a depth of emotion she never expected. Their connection is immediate, overwhelming, and ultimately shattering - a fracture that follows them for years.
A decade later, Marek tells his side. Through his voice, the reader uncovers the betrayal that broke them, the karmic bond that predates this lifetime, and the ancient patterns echoing through their story.
Beneath their story runs a quiet, mythic current – a feminine cosmology drawn from the Lilith–Selena duality: two moons, split into shadow and light.
As their two perspectives braid together, the novel moves between memory, destiny, feminine awakening, and the invisible threads that bind souls across time. What begins as a love story becomes a threshold between realities, psychological, historical, and mythic, where the past and present mirror each other across centuries.
Perfect for readers who crave mythic, atmospheric fiction, pre‑Renaissance Italy, and a story where souls cross the boundaries of time.

I received a copy of Lilith: The Woman Who Walked Between Worlds from Margarita Yaz in exchange for an honest review.
To be completely honest, this is not normally the kind of book I would gravitate toward, which honestly made my experience with it even more surprising. I ended up enjoying this far more than I expected to.
The story follows Lilith and Marek, two lovers whose lives remain intertwined across time itself. No matter the era or circumstance, they continue to cross paths and leave lasting marks on one another’s lives, whether romantically or otherwise. That central idea gives the novel an almost dreamlike quality, with fate and reincarnation weaving through every part of the story.
What stood out most to me was the emotional connection between the characters and the way the novel explores how certain people can echo throughout our lives, even across lifetimes. There’s a strong sense of inevitability to their relationship, but the story still manages to keep things engaging and unpredictable.
The ending was probably the biggest surprise for me. I expected something overly tragic or self-destructive, but instead the conclusion felt thoughtful, intelligent, and earned. It avoided the kind of ending I assumed it was building toward, and I appreciated the restraint and maturity behind that choice.
Overall, this was a pleasant surprise and a book that exceeded my expectations. Even if this genre isn’t normally your go-to, there’s a good chance you may connect with it more than you think.

If you love romance novels that blend mythology and destiny with a touching psychological journey about love, you will love this book! ❤️
Lilith is a 21-year-old university student in Italy who decides to take a summer program in Saint Augustine, USA. While she’s there, she meets Marek. There’s something about him right away, this light, almost magnetic aura, and the connection between them feels instant, like something deeper is being awakened. She falls for him quickly, especially since every other guy around her just fades in comparison. Their romance feels easy and natural, and Lilith throws herself into it completely. But then Marek breaks her heart, and that moment becomes a kind of emotional fracture that stays with her.
Like a lot of summer romances, they end when Lilith has to go back to Italy for her studies. Even though Marek promises to love her forever, he doesn’t actually live up to those promises. I really liked seeing Lilith rebuild herself after that. Watching her work through the pain and learn to love herself again felt like an important part of her journey, not just romantically but on a deeper, more personal level.
Then, ten years later, we get Marek’s POV, which adds a whole new layer to the story. He talks about their past and how much it affected him, but also hints at something bigger behind their connection, like it wasn’t just chance.
There’s also a timeline shift during a trip to Florence, where the story moves to the fourteenth century. This feels almost like a past life or another version of their connection. Marek is the son of a noble family, arranged to marry a widow from another powerful family to protect their lands and vineyards. But then he meets Mona, a beautiful singer and he falls for her instantly and completely. Because he doesn’t go through with his duty to marry, everything falls apart. That whole part was intense. You really feel Marek’s pain as everything around him unravels, and it adds to the sense that love, choice, and consequence are repeating across time.
What I found really interesting is how the book blends all these layers together. It starts as a contemporary romance, then opens into something more mythic and symbolic, almost like different lifetimes or realities overlapping. When the story returns to the present, Lilith and Marek are no longer together. He still wants her, but she has moved on, is married, and seems genuinely happy with someone else. It’s a bit confusing at times, but also very mystical and open to interpretation, which fits the idea that their connection goes beyond just one reality.
I was also genuinely impressed by how vividly Florence is described. The details made it so easy to picture everything, like I was right there.
Overall, this feels like more than just a romance. It’s an emotional and psychological journey about love, memory, and the unseen threads that connect people across time, and I found it really captivating.

Wow. I’m so glad I happened upon this book. The symbolism at the end just made my heart ache. I loved how it intertwined romance, mystics, and destiny. Right up my alley.

I received an arc copy of Lilith thanks to NetGalley and the author - Margarita Yaz.
The novel begins like a typical romance novel; girl takes a summer job in another country and falls in love. Only this romance is not just a sweet summer fling, it has an invisible golden string that binds them beyond this lifetime and creates an instant connection that is deep and transformative. The summer romance is told entirely through the eyes of Lilith and is more about her feelings and less about the conversations or what they experience.
I would personally prefer more focus on discussion and less description of their feelings and thoughts. I felt it was often quite repetitive during both Lilith and Marek’s POV in terms of what they were feeling or thinking. I would have preferred to be shown more of their personalities and a slower build to really experience it all with them.
Marek’s POV somehow felt hollow to me (I know it reverberated with promises and expectations, etc.,), but I found his lack of explanation to Lilith about his disappearing act really crappy and it left me with very little sympathy for him.
I appreciated the past life stuff and the descriptions of Florence were beautiful and evocative. I just felt our protagonists were only given the same descriptions in their inner world concerning their connections to one another and who they had been before. I wanted to feel like I knew them as an observer.
The ending was not what I expected at all, but I felt everything made sense. I’m sure this book will appeal to those who love a mystical novel that focuses on the psychology of love and connection.

Post Description: If you’ve ever felt like your life is being guided by invisible threads or that a specific connection was written in the stars long before you were born, then Lilith: The Woman Who Walked Between Worlds by Margarita Yaz is going to absolutely wreck you in the best way possible. This isn't just a romance; it’s a haunting, atmospheric journey through memory and myth that feels less like reading a book and more like remembering a dream. We follow Lilith from the sun-drenched coast of Italy to the mystical streets of St. Augustine, where her meeting with Marek triggers a soul-deep fracture that echoes across a decade—and potentially lifetimes. 🌊✨
What truly sets this novel apart is the dual-POV structure. When Marek finally speaks a decade later, the "mythic architecture" of their bond is revealed, diving into the Lilith/Selena polarity and the heavy karmic debt they share. Yaz’s prose is lush and psychological, perfectly capturing that ache of a feminine awakening that is as painful as it is beautiful. It’s rare to find a story that balances raw human betrayal with such high-concept spiritual themes without losing its heart. 🌙🥀
I am giving this a haunting 4.9/5 stars. ⭐ It is a profound, essential read for anyone obsessed with destiny, past lives, or the shadow side of love. You need to buy this book—if only to feel a little less alone in the "unseen worlds" we all carry inside. It’s a literal masterpiece of soul-searching fiction. 📖⚖️

The premise of Lilith is amazing. dual perspective! I love that so much. It was actually a highlight of the book. The world building was also amazing. You could close your eyes and see the locations in your mind. That is an amazing talent, that needs to be loved and enhanced. It really makes the book.
I to, loved the personalities and a love story that isn't all about the smut scenes. It's deep enough and involved enough to keep you reading.
The down side to this book wasn't the story or the fact that the author has created a great book. Its the writing. The spots where there were dialogue technically not the most fluid to read lacking proper structure. The other common feature of this book too was the single line paragraphs. Pages and pages of them. It makes reading hard. It seems like making these thoughts into complete paragraphs would make the book a more enjoyable read.
This book with a little technical tweaking could make a really big splash and I hope it does. I would add it to my re-read list if it ever gets an edit for improvement…. this book shows a lot of merit in an otherwise AI saturated market, that leaves real authors unseen.
Is this book worth reading… YES!
PS Merek is a love him, hate him and love him again character. He was an emotion linchpin for me.
Thank you to the author and Book Sirens for allowing me an ARC copy for reading and providing unbiased and honest review.

I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would. I haven’t read a book like this before, and I think comparing it to other successful books, such as The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, takes away from the creative magic the author has poured into this story. This book has its own unique qualities, and I think it deserves to be appreciated on its own terms.
I finished the book rather quickly for two reasons: first, it’s a very fast paced read, and second, the story is captivating. The author is a strong writer, and I especially loved the poetic style of the writing. There was something beautiful about the way the story was written that really drew me in.
My only criticism is that some characters were introduced early on in a way that made me think they would become much more important to the story. However, they ultimately didn’t have much of a presence or impact. By the time I finished the book, I was left thinking, what about Damon and Gina?
I won a copy of this book through Goodreads Giveaways, and this is exactly why I enter them. I had the opportunity to discover and read a beautifully written story that I otherwise may never have picked up. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I’m glad I had the chance to read it.

This book felt like being cursed by a poet in Renaissance Florence and honestly? I mean that as a compliment.
LILITH: The Woman Who Walked Between Worlds by Margarita Yaz is giving reincarnation angst, soulmates across centuries, devastating timing, and a man who keeps learning the same lesson the HARD way. The emotional damage? Immaculate.
Lilith/Mona/Selena instantly became one of those female characters you can’t stop thinking about. She doesn’t chase. She doesn’t beg. She simply exists and entire timelines collapse around her.
Meanwhile Marek spends lifetime after lifetime loving her deeply but hesitating at the exact wrong moment. Sir really said “I can ruin my own happiness repeatedly” and committed to the bit. Frustrating? Yes. Addictive to read? Also yes.
The Florence chapters were EVERYTHING. Secret meetings, political tension, forbidden kisses, witch accusations, candlelit longing, tragic destiny, it felt cinematic in the best way possible.
And the idea that Mona became the unspoken muse behind the Renaissance? Actually insane in the coolest way. “Florence burned one woman and then spent centuries trying to paint her back into heaven.” YEAH. THAT LINE STAYED WITH ME.
What destroyed me most was the whole “fire love vs earth love” conversation. Lilith and Marek are passion, obsession, once-in-a-lifetime intensity.
But her husband is safety, peace, consistency, the kind of love that survives ordinary life. This book really said sometimes the love that changes you forever isn’t the love you build your future with. RUDE. But true.
If you love books with soulmate energy, past-life romance, haunting feminine power, emotionally tortured men, and endings that leave you staring at the ceiling at 2am questioning your entire existence, add this to your TBR immediately.
This wasn’t just a romance. It felt like a memory from another life.

I was surprised by this. It took me a minute to get in to it, however, once the story really got going it definitely grew on me.
While I did struggle to connect with the characters at the beginning of the book, I did enjoy the overall, almost poetic writing throughout. I felt as if we could've done without the Damon storyline at the start and perhaps focused more on the relationship between Lilith and Marek. It did feel a little bit rushed so I do think leaving out Damon, who doesn't really add anything to the plot, would've allowed for expansion on that.
I liked how the plot gradually unravelled and you sort of started to understand what was happening as you were reading. I didn't really feel at any point that I 100% knew where it was going which was really refreshing.
Overall, a nice read with an intriguing take on fate in a nice take on a mythical story. While there may be a few areas that could've been improved on, I still enjoyed this story and loved the refreshing view on if love is fate or a choice and which direction you should follow.

This book is soft, intense, and deeply emotional. It’s a story you don’t just read, you feel it unfold inside you. If you love romance wrapped in mystery, destiny, and a touch of the mystical, this one will stay with you like an echo you can’t quite forget.

💭This was NOT what I was expecting! It was more! I read it very quickly and even though it’s not the type of book I normally gravitate toward, I still loved it and still think about the way its lyrical prose made me feel. Highly recommended.
Set between present day Florida and 14th century Florence, this #DualTimeline story follows Lilith and Marek, whose instant connection sparks a love that echoes across years, lifetimes, and realities. As both perspectives unfold, secrets, betrayal, destiny, and ancient bonds intertwine in a story that blends romance, history, mythology, and self-discovery.

Lilith: The Woman Who Walked Between Worlds by Margarita Yaz is a deeply introspective and atmospheric novel. Blurring the boundaries between lived reality and the metaphysical, it offers a reading experience that feels both emotionally intimate and philosophically expansive.
And while the love story that threads across lifetimes and centuries is undeniably touching, at times even devastating in its emotional force, it’s also a novel of awakening, particularly feminine awakening, and the courage required to confront one’s shadow. It navigates the tension between love and self‑discovery, suggesting that true transformation often arrives through rupture rather than comfort. The narrative refuses easy answers; instead, it invites readers to sit with ambiguity, to feel their way through the symbolic architecture, and to engage with its deeper currents on their own terms.
Yaz’s prose is lyrical and immersive, often carrying a meditative quality that invites the reader inward. The pacing is intentional and unhurried, allowing the emotional and symbolic layers to unfold gradually. While this rhythm may ask for patience, it ultimately enriches the journey, making each revelation feel earned rather than rushed..

I honestly really enjoyed this story and the prose. Yaz’s style of writing is so dreamy and poetic. My only critiques are moments when it wasn’t super clear if a character was experiencing something real, or illusion, as well as moments where pronoun usage got a little confusing. I think this text could use a few more rounds of editing. Overall I really enjoyed this story and ate it up quickly.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

I received a copy of Lilith: The Woman Who Walked Between Worlds from Margarita Yaz in exchange for an honest review.
Caution: There will be spoilers ahead.
If I hadn't been provided this book in exchange for a review, I don't know that I would have finished it, in all honesty. For a book named Lilith: The Woman Who Walked Between Worlds, Lilith barely has any focus. She is the view-point character for less than a third of the novel, and the rest of it is the view-point of Marek.
I felt that, while we were meant to care about Marek and his circumstances, and consider him a deuteragonist, his actions and choices in the present and the past-life do not reflect a good man. I could forgive him starting a relationship with Lilith and not telling her that he had been in a relationship with another woman at that time; I could understand his sudden marriage (though it did come somewhat out of the blue for me); I could even accept his equally sudden divorce (which seemed to have come out of the blue with no attempts whatsoever to try to put in any work to see if it was worth saving).
But I could not accept how he treated his children. He only seemed to think of them as an afterthought, when his ex-wife reminded him that they were asking for him. He booked a flight to Italy at the last moment and there was no mention of him explaining to the children that he would be gone, and there isn't a good sense of exactly how long he was gone for.
His past life is little better; he is aware that he is the only person that has the power to save a widow and her two sons, and yet he delays and delays over an artist who does not appear to want the same relationship that he does, and the end result is the death of the widow, the children, and the artist.
And his response to finding out that Lilith still exists is to cyber-stalk her, then stalk her in real life, creep on her, her husband, and their children (again, while neglecting the children that he already has), and to suddenly show up at her place of work with no warning and confess to his stalking.
The book ends with Marek suddenly inhabiting the role of Lilith's husband, her children now being hers, immediately after accepting that he should be a more caring father to his children (who he does not seem to care about in the least).
Perhaps further books will redeem Marek, as the author notes at the end of the book indicated that more novels were planned, but I don't think that I will be reading them to find out.

And his response to finding out that Lilith still exists is to cyber-stalk her, then stalk her in real life, creep on her, her husband, and their children (again, while neglecting the children that he already has), and to suddenly show up at her place of work with no warning and confess to his stalking.
The book ends with Marek suddenly inhabiting the role of Lilith's husband, her children now being hers, immediately after accepting that he should be a more caring father to his children (who he does not seem to care about in the least).
Perhaps further books will redeem Marek, as the author notes at the end of the book indicated that more novels were planned, but I don't think that I will be reading them to find out.

Book Review
Lilith The Woman Who Walked Between Worlds
By Margarita Yaz
PUB DATE: March 19, 2026
Margarita Yaz kindly gifted me a physical copy of her self-published novel, Lilith The Woman Who Walked Between Worlds. This psychological love story is unique and not the type of novel I typically gravitate towards reading. This dual POV, dual timeline love story blends romance, historical fiction, magical realism and mythic storytelling. The author’s notes provide a more in depth explanation of her use of elements such as quantum theory, epistemic logic and science-fiction in her storytelling. The book is told in three parts: Lilith, Selena and Mona. The three names represent “three states of the same soul: Lilith as fate, Selena as choice, Mona as memory and origin” (quoted from the author’s notes).
My Thoughts: As I mentioned, this novel does not fall into my typical reading genres of choice. I went into this book thinking it was going to be a fantasy/romance novel, but it is so much more than that. I like the writing style although it relies heavily on character narration with minimal dialogue. That being said, I think the author’s writing style is effective because she is able to develop chemistry, longing and yearning between FMC Lilith and MMC Marek using their dual POV narration and almost completely closed door romantic scenes, as well character growth. The first and second parts read smoothly and I found it easy to understand the symbolism, themes, and connections between the two parts. I must admit though the third part left me a little confused and I felt like I missed something. My biggest hang up with the story concerns the characters Gina and Damon introduced in the first part who seem like they will be integral characters in the story. However, midway through the first part they exit the story. I kept waiting for them to return in some way throughout the rest of the book, but they are never mentioned again. I am confused about why they were ever part of the story at all.
Overall, I was engaged throughout and plan on rereading part three to see if I can gain a better understanding of the story’s ending.
Thank you @margaritayaz_author for the gifted physical copy of Lilith The Woman Who Walked Between Two Worlds. I am happy to have had the opportunity to read your work. Also, the cover is gorgeous!

Lilith: The Woman Who Walked Between Worlds by Margarita Yaz is a deep and emotional story about love, choices, and connection that goes beyond one lifetime. The story begins with Lilith, a young girl who leaves Italy for a summer in St. Augustine. There, she meets Marek, and their bond quickly becomes intense and meaningful. At the same time, another character Damon brings tension and confusion, which slowly creates distance between people. The story shows how one summer can change everything in life.
The book is written in parts, where first we see Lilith’s side, and later Marek’s side. This makes the story more clear and emotional because we understand both feelings. Marek’s part shows the pain, guilt, and truth behind what happened years ago. The story also connects past life and present life, which makes it different from a normal love story. It talks about destiny, mistakes, and how some connections never fully end.
What I liked most is how the emotions are shown in a simple but strong way. The scenes between Lilith and Marek feel real, not forced. Small moments like conversations, silence, and even distance between characters are written very nicely. On a personal level, I felt connected with the feeling of confusion, love, and loss. Sometimes in life, we don’t understand why certain people matter so much, and this book explains that feeling in a very honest way.
I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy emotional and meaningful stories. If you like stories about love, life decisions, and deep connections, then this book is for you. It is not a fast-paced story, but it is strong in feelings and meaning. This book stays with you after reading and makes you think about your own life and relationships.

Lilith: The Woman Who Walked Between Worlds by Margarita Yaz tells a story that feels quiet at first but slowly becomes very deep. Lilith leaves her home to experience something new, and her summer brings unexpected people into her life. Her meeting with Marek does not feel like a normal attraction it feels strong, confusing, and hard to ignore. At the same time, her bond with Gina and the entry of Damon show how relationships can change without warning.
The story takes a different turn when time passes and we begin to see things from Marek’s side. This part explains many unanswered questions and shows the weight of past actions. His emotions, regrets, and thoughts make the story more complete. Along with this, the book also connects their story to something beyond the present, hinting that their bond did not start in just one lifetime. This idea adds a deeper meaning to everything that happens between them.
One thing I noticed while reading is how the story focuses more on feelings than events. There are many small moments conversations, silence, and inner thoughts that make the story feel real. I personally connected with the idea that sometimes we don’t understand why certain people affect us so much. The book shows that some connections are not easy to explain, but they still leave a strong impact.
I would suggest this book to readers who like calm, emotional, and thoughtful stories. It is perfect for those who enjoy reading about relationships, inner feelings, and life choices. This book is not about fast action, but about understanding emotions and connections. It is a meaningful read that stays with you and makes you think about your own life and the people who have shaped it.

📖 Review: Lilith: The Woman Who Walked Between Worlds 📕
Author: Margarita Yaz ✍🏻📖
I didn’t expect this book to stay with me the way it did-but days later, I’m still thinking about it.
Lilith: The Woman Who Walked Between Worlds isn’t just a love story, even though the connection between Lilith and Marek is what first pulled me in. Their time in St. Augustine has this quiet, almost dreamlike intensity-like something meaningful is happening just beneath the surface, even when nothing dramatic is going on. I’ve read a lot of dual-POV novels, but the way this one shifts a decade later into Marek’s perspective genuinely added depth rather than just retelling events.
What really stood out to me was the layering of themes. The idea of memory and how differently two people can carry the same experience felt very real. At the same time, there’s this deeper, almost mythic thread running through everything-the Lilith/Selena polarity, the shadow vs. light dynamic-that gave the story a bigger emotional and philosophical weight. It reminded me a bit of those moments when you look back on your own life and wonder if certain connections meant more than you understood at the time.
I’ll admit, the pacing is more reflective than action-driven, so it took me a few chapters to fully settle into it. But once I did, I appreciated the introspective tone. It feels like a book you’re meant to sit with rather than rush through.
I’d recommend this to readers who enjoy emotional, slightly mystical stories that explore love, destiny, and inner transformation. If you like novels that blur the line between the psychological and the spiritual, this one’s definitely worth picking up.

Lilith is one of those rare novels that feels less like reading a story and more like stepping into a dream you half‑remember from another life. It’s intimate, philosophical, and beautifully layered—perfect for readers who crave emotional depth and mythic resonance in their love stories.
The dual‑POV structure works wonderfully here. Lilith’s present‑day voice is tender, searching, and quietly haunted, while Marek’s later perspective reframes everything with a raw honesty that hits like a revelation. Their connection feels lived‑in and soul‑deep, the kind of bond that stretches across time rather than simply across chapters.
I loved how the novel moves between modern Florida and 14th‑century Florence, not as a gimmick but as a genuine exploration of memory, destiny, and the patterns we carry from one lifetime to the next. The historical sections are vivid without ever overwhelming the emotional core, and the mythic undercurrent—the Lilith–Selena duality—adds a subtle, shimmering layer of symbolism that enriches the entire narrative.
This is a story about love, yes, but also about awakening, shadow work, and the invisible threads that bind us to others in ways we don’t always understand. It’s introspective in the best way: thoughtful, atmospheric, and quietly transformative.
If you loved The Time Traveler’s Wife, Addie LaRue, or The Midnight Library, this will absolutely speak to you. A beautifully crafted, soul‑stirring novel that lingers long after the final page.

I won this on GoodReads.
In “Lilith”, Margarita Yaz manages to capture that elusive, young love, meeting of two connected souls. What is, what was, and what might be are seamlessly melded together. I recommend this as a great use of your reading time. “Lilith” will hold you in that place between yearning and melancholy.

Some parts gave me goosebumps!
I didn’t expect to get pulled in like I did, but I really enjoyed this book. The writing makes everything feel so real and easy to fall into, and there were moments that genuinely caught me off guard.
It goes deeper than just romance and touches on connection, memory, and something almost spiritual. Wonderfully written!

Lilith was such a lovely, romantic read. I’m not entirely sure what I expected going into it, but I am so happy with what I got. The female archetypes explored throughout the book come together to express the full range of a woman’s emotions, thoughts, and desires. It was an unexpected read, and I truly enjoyed it.

This book was such a unique read. I think the genre blend was done really well - soulmate romance, a mythic layer, and a time‑slip into historical Italy. The Italian arc was so atmospheric and became my favorite part. I never knew where the story was heading, and the ending is still living in my mind. Sweeping, lyrical, and thought‑provoking in a way that made me reflect on my own life. Overall, it was bigger than I expected.
