Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For three teenagers, dark mystery has always lurked at the corner of the eyes and the edge of sleep. Beautiful Morgan D'Amici wakes in her trailer park home with dirt and blood under her fingernails. Paintings come alive under Ondine Mason's violet-eyed gaze. Haunted runaway Nix Saint-Michael sees halos of light around people about to die.

At a secret summer rave in the woods, the three teenagers learn of their true, changeling nature and their uncertain, intertwined destinies. Riveting, unflinching, beautiful, Betwixt shows a magic as complex and challenging as any ordinary reality.

Review:

"[E]dgy and compelling....Readers of Neil Gaiman's Sandman or Bill Willingham's Fables graphic-novel series (both DC Comics) will be the audience for this complex, but flawed, debut." School Library Journal

Review:

"[Smith's] dark-edged fay underworld, rife with sexual undertones and drug use, will appeal to fans of Holly Black and Melissa Marr." Hornbook

Review:

"Fantasy fans familiar with the conventions of the genre will probably prove better at this mystery solving than others and will be among the first drawn to this new novel." VOYA

Synopsis:

At a secret summer rave, three teenagers learn of their true, changeling nature and their uncertain, intertwined destinies, in Smith's electrifying, enchanting, and intoxicating debut novel.

MrsDanielleMosier, October 17, 2009 (view all comments by MrsDanielleMosier)
For those who like fantasy, and love all things local, this book is for you.

Betwixt seems to be targeted toward the same crowd who would like the Twilight series, but this is much, much better. The relationships are more realistic and grounded, and less clingy and desperate than many young adult novels. Even better, the characters in this book are strong, with moments of weakness, and there is a lot to be said for personal strength and a sense of independence and adventure.
