In Between

I really loved this book, it really emphasized to me how much our surroundings can have an influence on how we all perceive the world through differing lenses. I would really recommend this book to anyone who enjoys paranormal thrillers as well as mysteries.

Amy can see and experience things that her family supposedly cannot perceive... With the aim to make peace with herself, her childhood, and her family before her child is born, she returns home to meet her father...

Amy has Alice In Wonderland Syndrome... Amy can exist in the In Between... And the lines between her surreal realities can blur in the fraction of a second... Time is non-linear, some fragments playing out in an endless loop... Amy is looking for answers... Amy wants to know what is real and what is not... Amy wants to know why...

The reader is swept along with Amy while she talks to her father, in the present and the past, as she recounts her experiences to him... She wonders if he knows, what he knows, and how much he knows...

The writing is almost poetic in its flow, gripping and grim simultaneously... And though I'm not sure if I found the answers, Amy does find her peace...

This was a refreshing take on a horror novel. It’s psychological which gets me every time! It makes the boogeyman come to life. The use of Alice in Wonderland Syndrome intensifies how confused your mind gets which makes the story so much better! I can say without a doubt I did not see that coming! It takes a lot for a book to surprise me, but this story had me guessing until the very end.

Being inside Amy’s mind makes me think of the phrase “we are all made here” and that is exactly how you will feel trying to piece together the life of Amy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ psychologically thrilling stars. Make sure you have a whole day to devote to this book because once you start you will not put it down.

Special thanks to netgalley for my arc on exchange for an honest review

Such a great read. I was fully submerged into every single word. Was so hard to tell what was real and what wasn't. Loved the intense feeling and build up this book had. Truly enjoyed it!

uhmmm you know those movies, in where you cant really full understand them during the first watch? Well this is one of those books/movies, this for me was a perfect match of the movie “the father” with “the others”, in the father you have the world through the eyes of the father but he has dementia, and what you see is not exactly what you get, in the others well you get a bit of this other realm but in reality it is us or them? Yeah, just like these movies, this book gets real and messy, what is real, what is not, what is time, I do have questions, but usually when I finish a movie or book like the ones I talked before, I need to rewatch for them to make sense and I probably will need to read this book again to make more sense of the kind of loose ends (we need to remind ourselves that she has a difficult mental illness, so she is an unreliable narrator, and that is kind of the poetry of this book).

I highly recommend this book for the fans of unreliable narrator books, because what they tell you is not what is really taking place.

Thank you NetGalley for this free ARC and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Thank you so much to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC; it is greatly appreciated.

This is one of those books where you might not fully understand what the hell was happening, but it was still an enjoyable time. You have to think and pay attention while you're reading here, or you can easily get lost in the plot. The main character, Amy, is an unreliable narrator, so the reader learns truths as she does.

The writing in this book is so vivid and colorful. I could easily picture the scenes, and I rather enjoyed the way they flowed into each other. As a reader I felt as confused as Amy did, so it's easy to understand Amy's emotions and reactions. You truly go on a journey with Amy.

It is common for books like this to have an ambiguous ending, but that actually is not the case here. We find out exactly what happens to everyone in the end, and why it happened. (Although that part is definitely the most confusing aspect) You need to go into this story with an open imagination, and I can see how this book won't be for everyone, but it's a solid entry in the genre.

A darkly lyrical tale of life, death, and those caught in between, fascinating… I found it difficult to put the book down. Instantly and completely immersed me in another world!

Completely absorbed from the very beginning. The writer is amazing at drawing you into the story. The characters are likable and DM Sciliano developed a fantastic wonderland for them to live in. I have already read it twice.

“In Between” is an unexpected, interesting read, with an unreliable narrator. The reader must pay attention or can quickly become astray.

A sincere thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for providing me a copy of “In Between” in exchange for an honest review. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to read this story and leave my review voluntarily
