Since the car crash that took her father’s life two years ago, Emma’s life has been a freaky—and unending—lesson in caution. Surviving “accidents” has taken priority over being a normal seventeen-year-old, so Emma spends her days taking pictures of life instead of living it. Falling in love with a boy was never part of the plan. Falling for a reaper who makes her chest ache and her head spin? Not an option.
It’s not easy being dead, especially for a reaper in love with a girl fate has put on his list not once, but twice. Finn’s fellow reapers give him hell about spending time with Emma, but Finn couldn’t let her die before, and he’s not about to let her die now. He will protect the girl he loves from the evil he accidentally unleashed, even if it means sacrificing the only thing he has left...his soul.
Let me start off by saying that whatever you think this book may be about, think again. I personally know the lovely Tara Fuller (winks to bloggy sister) and as authors, of course we can’t help but talk about our stories (even when peeps are no longer listening and we’re just blabbing away) because that’s what we do. And having known some about this story going in, I was surprised that she could be so humble about the amazing story she created. The summary gives you only the tiniest glimpse of what is to be found between the pages.
Told from dual POVs, INBETWEEN begins with an action-packed, heart-wrenching introduction to Finn and Emma. We discover just enough about their story—as these two have a history together—to move forward two years ahead where Finn has become, unknown to Emma, her protector against an evil spirit bent on destroying her.
The story and their history unfolds chapter by chapter giving the reader glimpses into the past, and normally this might have made me a bit crazy going, I want to know! Tell me! But in Tara Fuller’s capable hands, the right amount of information, action, romance, and tension was beautifully executed. There was no part where the story lagged and I became impatient. The description of Hell, Heaven, and the Inbetween kept me flipping the pages, while the depth of the side characters’ own stories grabbed ahold of me and I had to find out more about them. I have to admit, the villain of stories I either hate or love. And Tara created a deeply compelling villain who I understood and sympathized with, but who I also loved to hate. She was brilliant.
A perfect balance of tension, humor and romance, INBETWEEN is addicting. I couldn’t put it down till I knew the whole story, and then I was in love with the characters. This is a must read for all Paranormal Romance lovers, as well as anyone looking for their next fresh YA read.

If you went on a date with a Reaper, where would you make him take you?

Somewhere private. Maybe a moonlit walk on the beach, so people wouldn't think I was talking to myself. And so kissing could go uninterrupted of course. ;)VERY important: Buffy or Vampire Diaries?
That's a tough one! I have to go with...Vampire Diaries. As much as I loved Buffy, I don't know what I would do without the sexy Damon Salvatore in my life.
The one thing you're going to do today to celebrate (your big release day!) no matter what?
Well, since my original release day is August 28th, and that's when book stores will start to shelve Inbetween, that's the day I will do my celebrating. I will drive 45 minutes to my nearest Barnes and Noble and take a picture with my pretty book on the shelves. Then I will go eat something ridiculously fattening. Like a chocolate dome from PF Changes. After that I will probably stare at my book for a few hours and pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. :)
