My Review of Inbetween by Tara Fuller
"Since the car crash that took her father’s life three years ago, Emma’s life has been a freaky — and unending — lesson in caution. Surviving “accidents” has taken priority over being a normal seventeen-year-old, so Emma spends her days taking pictures of life instead of living it. Falling in love with a boy was never part of the plan. Falling for a reaper who makes her chest ache and her head spin? Not an option.
It’s not easy being dead, especially for a reaper in love with a girl fate has put on his list not once, but twice. Finn’s fellow reapers give him hell about spending time with Emma, but Finn couldn’t let her die before, and he’s not about to let her die now. He will protect the girl he loves from the evil he accidentally unleashed, even if it means sacrificing the only thing he has left…his soul."

I admit it. I am
still in love with Paranormal Romance novels, and I am not ashamed to say it.
So when I found out that INBETWEEN was about reapers, I jumped at the chance to
read it, seeing that I have never read about reapers before! Lucky for me to say,
INBETWEEN did not disappoint. A beautiful love story that PR lovers won't want
to miss, INBETWEEN stole my soul and didn't give it back until I was finished.
One of the things I
really enjoyed was the characters and the point of views. The story is told
from Finn AND Emma's point of views, and the transition from one character to
the next was comfortable and easy-going. The character development was also
done very well, and Finn's love for Emma pretty much made my heart crumble. So,
so tender. I love sweet romances like that. While there was a VERY, very subtle
love triangle, it surely did not aggravate me in any way.
Another aspect of
INBETWEEN that I really appreciated was the idea. Reapers. There aren't too
many reaper-paranormal-romance novels out there in the YA genre, and I ALWAYS
appreciate authors who give other supernatural creatures a go. The
world-building was fantastic. While it was a bit confusing in the beginning, I
was still able to enjoy the story without being frustrated.
Overall, I am
extremely satisfied with Miss Fuller's work, and I can happily say that I am
ecstatic to get my hands on the rest of the installments in this breath-taking
new series.

Author Bio (Spotlight)
Tara
Fuller writes novels; some about grim reapers and some about witches. All of course are
delightfully full of teen angst and kissing. Tara grew up in a one stop light
town in Oklahoma where once upon a time she stayed up with a flash light reading
RL Stine novels and only dreamed of becoming a writer. She has a slight
obsession with music and a shameless addiction for zombie fiction, Mystery
Science Theater, and black and white mochas. Tara no longer lives in a one stop
light town. Now she lives with her family in a slightly larger town in
North Carolina where they have at least three stoplights.

This sounds like a really interesting book! I've been shying away from paranormal fiction for a while but I'd like to get back in this world so maybe Inbetween would be an ideal read to pick up next?
