I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Betwixt by Darynda Jones was an interesting and sometimes humorous read. I heard great things about the author, which made me ecstatic to receive a copy of the book for review. I liked the idea of a forty (40) year old heroine, which is a rarity in the book world. The story introduces readers to Defiance Dayne, a broke and new divorcee. However, her fortune would change when a total stranger bequeathed her a house. (If I could be so lucky. 😀) With nothing left to lose, she journeys to Salem, Massachusetts to determine the veracity of her inheritance. What she discovered would lead to a life-changing experience. The story took me on a journey filled with magical elements, snarky humour and adventure. Getting to know the characters turned out to be a wonderful experience. Annette, Defiance’s best friend, snarky humour had me laughing for most of the story. The rest of the cast added awesome support, in the form of humour, mystery and adventure, to this fun story. Two things which intrigued me most about the story had to do with the mysterious handyman and the house Defiance inherited. As the story appeared to be wrapping up, the author dropped a bombshell at the end, which took me by surprise. It, however, made the perfect setup for the second book, which I cannot wait to get my hands on. Traci Odom narrated, and I enjoyed every moment. I believed she did a great job in voicing the characters and bringing each of them to life. Lovers of paranormal stories would enjoy this new series by Darynda Jones.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
