I'm finished with The In-Between: Great first book from this author! Well written action scenes and dialogue. The character development is light, but toward the end there was improvement and we learned a lot more. I think some of it had to wait or it would have spoiled the intrigue. We knew the main characters pretty well by the end. Left with a cliffhanger at the end, I cannot wait to read her next installment!

I always like a book I can't put down! And quite a few of the action scenes keep you glued to the story. Also, it has an interesting mythology, building a world that makes you want to visit more and find out how things work. Main point is that this book makes you feel things, funny things, uncomfortable things, scary things and sweet things.

Full disclosure: the author is my daughter-in-law. That said, I'm a very rabid reader of books just like this one. If I didn't think it was worth the read, I'd politely say nothing.

This was my first fantasy book. I didn’t quite enjoy it. Some of the chapters were to detailed. What I mean, there was one chapter that described her clothing to a T. I don’t think I needed that much reference on what she was wearing. Another thing I didn’t care for was the forced proximity. I don’t think the author executed that well in the book. Other wise, it is an okay, I’m not a fan of DNFing books. So I stuck it out till the end.

I am a sucker for a great young adult fantasy book. This one is fun, exciting and an easy read. The characters are well developed and the flow of the plot is enticing. This book kept me turning the pages to the very end.
