FALLING IN BETWEEN, while not one of the most original books I've read, was a light, enjoyable read. It's premise was an interesting one; filled with potential; the story-line addictive.
It all starts with Jenna agreeing to go swimming in a pond... at night. Yep, probably not one of the smartest moves to make. But then again, we've all done some pretty stupid things, haven't we? She wakes in a hospital later to find that Robert, th More...

This was the first book I have read by Devon, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But I must say I am extremely happy that I signed up for her tour!! Our story begins with two teenage girls sneaking around trying to get into some mischief. Pretty normal for around that age:). Jenna had been avoiding jumping off of the cliff into the pond. Yes, she had seen her roommate successfully jump several times, but it didn't make it any easier for her to do it. She had taken the walk of shame, rather th

What can I say about Falling In Between?
Well first of all I didn't really know what to expect when I jumped into this book. You see I don't generally like, what I call "bubble gum smack", YA Contemporary. Basically what I mean is...if it's not full of sparkle-pires, yummy shirtless werewolves, or a tragic suicide/death...then I'm probably not going to dig it all that much.
Did I dig this book? Ummmm let's see...I read the entire thing in one sitting and couldn't More...

MY REVIEW
First of all , I love the cover, which is obviously (when you read the book) the female on the cover is Jenna, in her beautiful Prom dress, with the gorgeous corsage that was bought for her by ..........(read the book....no spoilers here!)
I really enjoyed the wit and humour in this book, sure its a little edgy and has mild language and sexual references and innuendo but its all done with taste and in context. To be totally honest I think that today's teenagers see an More...

This book has so much more to offer than that gorgeous cover. The main character was very dynamic, she doesn't feel like a character guided by the author, she feels like the author's creation who goes on to form a story. The main character, Jenna, is fun and likable. When she has what one could call a "bad fall," her life changes. During her drowning, she meets a boy named Chance. Chance is apparently also in the "in-between." The book takes off from there wi More...

Falling in Between by Devon Ashley is a sexy novel! It’s a novel of finding out who you really love the most.
I didn’t know what I was really getting into when I signed up to read and review Falling in Between. I picked this novel up because I really enjoy Devon’s other work, The Immortal Archive series.
I was blown away with this novel. It is so different from The Immortal Archives, but very different from Falling in Between. It’s a very seductive read and this book made me al More...

Jenna has been drooling over Robert, the hot guy in her Lit class, for months. Her roommate Sophie has a plan to get them together, only it involves sneaking off to the pond where Robert and his roommate Jhett hang out and oh yeah, jumping off of a cliff into a pool first to work up their nerve? Jenna’s not totally on board with that part, especially when she sees the thirty foot drop, but she goes for it only to hit bottom hard enough to see what feels like something not quite the hereafter b

I absolutely loved this book! I want to thank Devon for allowing me to be a part of her blog tour and allowing me to read this GREAT book. I read it on New Year's Eve. What a way to bring in the new year with a bang! Devon has crafted a world where I could not get enough.

FALLING IN BETWEEN was hot. That is the easiest way to describe this book. It is steamy. When I signed up to be a part of Devon Ashley’s blog tour, she warned us that this book is for the older Young Adult audience and she was NOT kidding. Though, a bit steamy it was very good.
Before I get into my review can I just say that it made me smile that I share a birthday with a fictional character, especially one as yummy as Chance? Yes. I smiled big time. So now that that is out o More...

Falling In Between has a really unique premise, and while I did enjoy reading it, unfortunately it didn’t grab me the way I had hoped it would. The story starts off very promising, with Jenna drowning and meeting a mysterious guy in the “in-between” before being revived, but I feel like it never really lived up to this promise for me. It wasn’t a bad book by any means, it just wasn’t completely my cup of tea.

I’d like to thank Devon Ashley for giving me the opportunity to take part in her blog tour. So THANK YOU!
I’ll admit I didn’t get into this book until the second time we met Chance. You know the one I’m talking about? When he’s playing soccer and Jenna gets hit in the head with the soccer ball? Yeah, that one. Chance was very frisky and flirty. The perfect dream boy and I literally mean dream because that’s the only time he saw him. Everyone needs some lovin’ right? Even dream boys.

Devon Ashley’s first foray into young adult fiction is an unbridled success. Her characters are both believable and relatable. Few authors can write from the point-of-view of a seventeen-year-old and actually sound like a seventeen-year-old—Devon Ashley is one of the few.
The plot of this story can best be described as A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET meets TWILIGHT. Sounds like an unlikely combination, but it works. Our heroine, Jenna, finally gets to date the boy of her dreams, but at th More...

This review also appears on Gypsy Book Reviews.
I must admit that I’m a sucker for gorgeous covers. Falling In Between has a pretty cover (the girl’s face is awkward, though, ngl), and from the summary, I thought I was going to like it! It’s a contemporary romance, which is one of my favorite genres to read. Okay, anything with romance is something I would read. However… this book sucks.
The first chapter was okay, aside from all the obvious info dumping. Page three is all More...

Jenna is working up the nerve to talk to Robert, the guy she has been swooning over since last year. And her friend Sophie thinks the best way to do that is to go cliff jumping…into a pond…at night. Yeah probably not the smartest idea ever! But what do you know? It actually worked. Robert comes to her rescue and they live happily ever after. Ok, maybe this story isn't exactly a fairy tale. But as things start up between her and Robert, so do things with Chance. Oh who's Chance you might ask? Onl

Falling in Between was a fast and entertaining read. The relationships in this story develop very quickly. I usually like to pick a guy early on in the book as a favorite for the happily ever after with the girl, but with this book, it was harder to decide. I spent most of the book rooting for one guy because I got the impression the other wasn't all in. To me the relationship just seemed more superficial and sex based than the other. Towards the end I started to sway in my decision towards the

Loved this book. Suspenseful reading while waiting for Jenna to choose her guy. The outcome is a nice one and although I loved Jenna's choice it could have had a very different outcome. That possibility alone keeps you turning page after page! Wonderfully done!

I would not recommend this book for teenagers I know. It has several sex scenes. It is more rated R than PG 13
