The In-Between
Melanie found out at a young age she was unique. Her best friend Mitch was the only person that didn't make her feel like a freak of nature because she could change her physical appearance. While trying to find her place in the world, Melanie stumbles into a place between this world and the next. A place created to help others but was almost destroyed by an evil that could drain the very light of life from you. The In-Between shows Melanie that she is capable of more than she could have dreamed. She is also in more danger than she has ever imagined. Along the way, Melanie will need to learn to trust others with her heart, and she may just need to sacrifice everything for those she loves.

The In-between by Holly Isaacs has such a fascinating premise. It was so engaging, in fact, I read it in one sitting. A book with many themes in its DNA—religious undertones, feeling like an outcast and it also felt like an allegory on exploring the soul—but this is just my interpretation. Nevertheless, The In-between kept me hooked throughout!
Like I have mentioned in a previous review, I do not like to make comparisons, but The In-Between feels like reading through a unique version and blend of Silent Hill and Alan Wake—it has that other worldly quality to it, and Holly's prose helps bring it to life—it's imaginative and ethereal. Spilling anything other than the blurb would be spoiling it. Melanie being able to shapeshift would surely pique any readers interests. For one last comparison, I enjoyed this as much as The Triangle Age by David Aumelas. It has that same compelling feel.
Holly has crammed a great deal of imagination into this book, its themes and characters will linger in my mind for a long time. The In-Between deserves more readers, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
