Betwixt: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel (Betwixt & Between Book One) by Darynda Jones
Today I’m focusing on Darynda Jones, another of the Fab13, and her first paranormal women’s fiction book “Betwixt.” You should know going into this that you’d be hard-pressed to find me a book by Darynda that I don’t love. This one proves she’s a master of her craft, regardless of the genre!
About the Book:
Divorced, desperate, and destitute, former restaurateur Defiance Dayne finds out she has been bequeathed a house by a complete stranger. She is surprised, to say the least, and her curiosity gets the better of her. She leaves her beloved Phoenix and heads to one of the most infamous towns in America: Salem, Massachusetts.
She’s only there to find out why a woman she’s never met would leave her a house. A veritable castle that has seen better days. She couldn’t possibly accept it, but the lawyer assigned to the case practically begs her to take it off her hands, mostly because she’s scared of it. The house. The inanimate structure that, as far as Dephne can tell, has never hurt a fly.
Though it does come with some baggage. A pesky neighbor who wants her gone. A scruffy cat who’s a bit of a jerk. And a handyman bathed in ink who could moonlight as a supermodel for GQ.
She decides to give it three days, and not because of the model. She feels at home in Salem. Safe. But even that comes to a screeching halt when people begin knocking on her door day and night, begging for her help to locate their lost objects.
Come to find out, they think she’s a witch. And after a few mysterious mishaps, Dephne is beginning to wonder if they’re right.
My Thoughts:
In Salem, the magic of the past meets the secrets of the present.
From the very first page, I was hooked! Darynda’s humor is always so spot-on for me. This book showcases that, as well as her ability to weave a story in a way that seems almost effortless. The back and forth between Defiance and “Nannette” is priceless. I love Ruthie! And why in the hell can’t I have a hunky kilted hottie doing fix-it things at my house?
I highly recommend “Betwixt: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel” to anyone who enjoys a good paranormal romance with a touch of mystery and self-discovery.
