About this book

Life after forty has taken a turn for the supernatural for Defiance Dayne. Just when she thought she had adjusted to the shock of discovering her ancestral witch heritage, she realizes her status as a rare charmling makes her the ultimate target. With a ruthless witch hunter hot on her trail and a mysterious, irresistible man living in her basement, Defiance finds that her midlife crisis involves far more high-stakes danger than your average suburban drama.

This second installment of the Betwixt and Between series perfectly captures the chaos of starting over when the stakes include your own survival. Darynda Jones weaves a masterful blend of paranormal romance and urban fantasy, balancing heart-pounding suspense with the kind of witty, podcast-worthy banter that keeps you turning pages until the early hours of the morning. It is an addictive, lighthearted escape that feels like a wild ride on a tilt-a-whirl.

If you are looking for a series that embraces quirky characters, magical mysteries, and simmering romantic tension, this is your next obsession. The world-building is immersive, the tone is delightfully irreverent, and the chemistry between the leads is undeniable. Grab the first book and dive in, because once you meet Defiance, you will not want to look away.

Love the Series

October 14, 2020

This is the second book of the series and I could not wait to get started on it. I would recommend you read the books in order, since this one picked up where the last one left off. I love the motley crew of characters and the storyline, there is plenty of chemistry between Defiance and the sexiest man alive and I enjoy the special friendship between Annette and her as well. My only complaint would be that the book ended too soon, perhaps because I could not put it down. Oh well I will just...

ALERT: SPOILERS The Good: This reads like an epic text that you cannot stop text bombing your bestie with at 2 in the morning. Seriously fun characters with podcast-worthy banter and unexpected random magical occurrances. The tiny hints we are getting are great plot points, like how Powers are evolving, the secret lives of everyone, and the slices of character development that are setting the stage for the next book.

6 months after the end of Betwixt, Bewitched begins. I was not happy with Dephne at all for the first 3rd of the book. But I kept on because she's hilarious, the Dads are amazing, Roane is intriguing, Gigi and Percy were being weirder than usual, and Annette deserved more attention. We get to meet part of Gigi's coven! And then there's Jason Voorhees, oops, Mr Vogel... oh I really enjoy not liking him. So while I was mad at Dephne for a bit, the story was still enthralling... captivating. The...
