Before, when Lilith left, she'd been stony and remote. Now, she trembled, outraged that a man could refuse his son. She spit in Adam's face and cursed the day she ever saw him. It was the day she'd been born. Then she took Obie and left, pelting away through the dark.
In the dark is where she met my father.

(This novel tore my heart out and then handed it back to me, all the while giving a sad but sheepish smile. My love for this book is probably not entirely rational, but I will attempt to write a coherent review that doesn't descend into gushing and babbling.)
I'm not always certain why some books affect me more than others. Sometimes I think a few of them merely catch me at the right times and places, hitting me when I'm emotionally weak or mentally exhausted. Then, when I look back a More...

The treachery of a demon is nothing compared to the betrayal of an angel.What tops being the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn? Why being the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith of course! If I had never heard of Brenna Yovanoff and if I had not read and loved her debut novel -- The Replacement -- I still would have picked up this book based on the heroine's parentage alone. And if that didn't do it, look at t More...

the cover sums the story of the book in just one picture up: dark, creepy, terrifying, but also with flashes of beauty. i get goosebumps just by looking at this cover. and if i wanted to pass the copy on to a male friend, he (hopefully) wouldn't raise one eyebrow and take a step back.

I wrote a really nice review for this book but goodreads ate it, so I will try again but seeing as I am getting progressively more sleepy... you get my point.
first this isn't as good as the replacement. As the script said "you have your whole life to write your first album and 6 months to write your second album" (paraphrased) not that this is like a danielwinski situation, this book is still very very good, it just isn't genius like the first one.

Before you even open them, some books just scream your name -- the cover is beautiful, the synopsis is captivating and the feel of them in your hands is perfection. This is how I felt about THE SPACE BETWEEN. I had read a fantastic review of the book by Maja from The Nocturnal Library and had to read it right away.

Ms. Yovanoff is again exploring the "other world" theme, but in a completely different way than she did in The Replacement. Here we have recognizable angels and demons (Lilith, Lucifer, Beelzebub and others make an appearance, and Adam has a cameo), and a wonderful description of Hell (known as Pandemonium, the city Daphne calls home). Daphne is the daughter of Lilith and Lucifer and spends most of her time watching tv, chatting with Beelzebub and fighting her inner nature. She also

This book is scary and creepy, but it is so good at the same time. Daphne is the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith (yes, THAT Lilith) and she lives a life of, quite frankly, boredom. She has sisters who go off galavanting and have fun seducing human boys but Daphne isn't like that. She's different from her siblings and her brother, Obie, is different too. So when he goes missing, she decides to find him - along with the help of a very cute human boy. This is the story of their journey to find Obie

This is one of those books that leaves you breathless, that reminds us why we all read in the first place. One of those books that keeps us wading through all the not so good books because we are searching for that one that will mean something.
This is the book I've been searching for. This is the book that means something. This is the best YA Paranormal book I've read since, dare I say, The Twilight Saga, and the The Wolves of Mercy Falls Trilogy.

Like THE REPLACEMENT, I was immediately sucked into this book. The characters in Yovanoff's books exist in strange, liminal (in-between) spaces; Yovanoff's descriptions of these spaces are incredibly vivid, and downright creepy. In THE SPACE BETWEEN, Yovanoff blurs notions of good vs. evil, and cleverly intersperses fascinating mythological exposition related to Judaism and Christianity(made me want to research more). Added bonus--there is a talking demon baby in this book (but she's kind of cut

Probably the most unusual, gutsy YA book I've read to date. Who dares to write about Satan and his minions? But when I read the prologue, I couldn't resist. The setting is hell...who wouldn't be curious?

I loved this book. It’s short and easy to read and the writing is almost simplistic. But it is also beautiful and moving and may or may not have reduced me to a teary eyed mess at the end.
I pretty much loved everything about this book. From the cast of characters, to the setting, to the way the story was broken into three parts. Especially the last part and it’s different interpretations.

Daphne struggles with her nature, and with the concept of love in all its forms, on her quest to save her brother. Though the character's voice seems detached from emotion, it becomes clear to the reader that she does, in fact, feel. She simply has no way of recognizing it or naming it at first.

I recently started writing a new fiction novel, and am aiming it at the young adult horror/supernatural category. I thought I'd read up on a few novels from the same broad genre to give me an idea of how other authors are approaching it. From the dozen or so boxes of books I've got sitting around all over the place, I pulled out an Advance Reader Copy of Brenna Yovanoff's The Space Between, which is due to be published in November of 2011.

Yovanoff is a master at the anti-hero. Like in The Replacement, she selects someone most people would think would be a villain to be her hero. In this case, we have Daphne, the daughter of the first rebellious wife of Adam in Eden. Daphne is a half-demon who lives in the timeless zone of Pandemonium in Hell. She is surrounded by many familiar fallen angels and demons, but she doesn't seem drawn to the evil deeds that are so common among those in her extended family.

Daphne is half-demon, half-(fallen) angel. Her parents are Lilith and Lucifer. I mention this first because that should give you some indication into what her life is like. She lives in Pandemonium (read: hell) and unlike her half-sisters, she has no interest in going to earth and seducing/destroying men. She probably never would've left home at all except that her half-brother has disappeared. Obie is her favorite relative, the one who's nicest to her and the one who's just all-around awes

I was captured by this author's style when I read "The Replacement". It was dark and sinister and beautiful.
This novel keeps with the theme, the heaven and hell and everything in-between, the grotesque and the beautiful. And while I may still prefer her first novel over this one, for the sole reason that it involved fairies, "The Space Between" does no disappoint.
