The In-Between

Reviews / Votes

'Compelling and addictive, hands-down my favorite YA read of the year. I was in the story's grip from beginning to end, in awe of how beautifully and realistically Barbara layered Ellie's personality and how she kept me guessing and wondering until the very last page. Most of all, I cared for poor, troubled Ellie and her family. I wanted to take the journey with her all the way to the end. I wanted to see her heal' Jennifer Brown, author of The Hate List 'Creepy and addictive, Barbara Stewart's The In-Between left me with both an acute distrust of what my eyes see, and an overwhelming fear of falling asleep. This psychological thriller definitely thrilled me' Jodi Meadows, author of the Incarnate trilogy 'This debut novel delves deeply into a possibly psychotic character or, perhaps, one who may be experiencing paranormal events . . . This may be Stewart's first novel, but she exhibits a practiced skill, keeping events ambiguous enough to have readers guessing throughout . . . A most intriguing book and debut' Kirkus Review (starred) 'A dark, compelling story of love, loneliness and obsession spun out of control . . . chilling, heartbreaking and nerve-wracking in the best possible way. It grabbed me by the throat on page one and didn't let go until the end' Laura Wiess, author of Such a Pretty Girl and Ordinary Beauty 'Barbara Stewart's The In-Between is terrifying, in the best possible way. Keeping all the lights on and reading in the daytime won't save you from goose bumps and shivers' Tiffany Schmidt, author of Send Me a Sign
