1.0 out of 5 stars
Definitely was not impressed..., December 17, 2009
This review is from: Twilight in the Spaces Between (Kindle Edition)
I must say that I'm shocked that this book has gotten such good reviews so far. The formatting was horrible, the book is in DESPERATE need of some decent editing (for example, the book is irritatingly riddled with simple misspellings like "hosue" instead of house as well as grammatical errors like "would of" instead of would have), and the story itself lacked direction and explanation. It doesn't make sense to me why the two main characters are out to get each other when they've only met once before (and very briefly, at that) in their lives. Additionally, why would Clive's family take in this woman that they don't even know and treat her better than their own kin? Very unrealistic. Too much of the story goes unexplained and the ending was very rushed and explained nothing.
This book seems like something that was quickly created, not well thought-out, not edited, and never revised to explain things that don't make sense. I did not find it to be gripping, a page-turner, or a book that has you on the edge of your seat. I would never recommend this book to a friend and am frankly a bit shocked that the author has the gall to charge money for this unfinished piece of work. Definitely not worth the 99 cents, please save your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful Prose, June 20, 2009
This review is from: Twilight in the Spaces Between (Kindle Edition)
The writing in this book is absolutely exquisite--it was almost like poetry. The images produced were so clear that it was almost like watching a video--I felt the cold in Minnesota, and the oppressive humidity of Louisiana. The characters were so very real that I actually empathized with them. The story was disturbing, compelling, and sensuous.
I would like to see the formatting improved, but the disconnect wasn't bad enough to make me put the book down.

Point of No Return meets While You Were Sleeping..., July 6, 2009
This review is from: Twilight in the Spaces Between (Kindle Edition)
...with a twist of goth and one seriously bad serial killer!
This book really held my interest all the way through, but then the ending came and went in a flash. With so much build up, I would have thought the ending would take longer to complete itself - not so.
The detail given to describe the setting of each scene was incredible. Also, you were provided deep insight into the characters, even the lesser ones. There was nothing vague about this book.
Formatting was off, but it wasn't too distracting after a while.
