The Space Between
Brenna Yovanoff
Razorbill, Nov 14 2011, $17.99
ISBN: 9781595143396
In the silver city of Pandemonium, Hell, Daphne lives a luxurious life as the youngest daughter of Lucifer and Lilith. However, in spite of her golden spoon lifestyle, Daphne feels adrift. She considers following the leads of her Succubi half-sisters stalking mortal souls while dodging Azrael the sadistic angel and his ogre BFF Dark Dreadful, but that thought gives her no pleasure.
Her half-brother Obie, son of Adam, is her best friend. He saves the souls of the Lost Ones, human-angel hybrids. His current rescue is that of alcoholic suicidal teenager Truman Flynn who Daphne feels attracted to though his time in hell is short. When Obie vanishes on earth, Daphne and Truman search for him while struggling to elude Azrael and DD.
The Space Between is a great romantic investigative fantasy that hooks young adult readers (and others) with a sense of realism as if the city exists and the paranormal cast genuine; especially the female who wants to feel love and the male who wants to abate his overwhelming emotions. The story line shifts perspective between Daphne’s first hand account and Truman’s third person viewpoint as they team up on a rescue mission while the nasty angel of death and his even more brutal sidekick stalk them.
