The Space Between

One of my favorite shows is Supernatural. No, not because of the cute Winchester boys, (well, maybe just a little), but because they seem to weave such interesting mythology into the show. I recently read that every story line has to be based on plausible events. So Lilith and Lucifer are quite familiar ideas. The Space Between by Brenna Yovanoff tells the story of Daphne, the daughter of Lilith and Lucifer. She lives in Hell, where everything is hot and gray. She is surrounded by her succubus sisters with their metal teeth. She has a half brother Obie, who is the only person she loves and the only person who loves her. When Obie tells her he is leaving to live on Earth, Daphne can hardly stand it. She knows Azrael, the angel, will kill him if he tries to stay on earth. As Daphne tries to stop Obie from leaving, a half human boy is found and Daphne is inexplicably drawn to him. The boy is sent back to earth and Obie leaves with him. When Obie disappears, Daphne's mother sends her to earth to find him. Daphne has only one link to her brother, the boy -Truman. The story continues with Daphne trying to keep Truman alive long enough to find her brother. This book is quite odd. Many interesting things happen, it is violent, and there is a great love story. That being said, it probably isn't for everyone, but I couldn't put it down. Yovanoff is the author of another book I read this summer  The Replacement , which is also an odd but interesting read. If you are into the supernatural, this is really a unique read. Last weekend of my break, so I'm off to enjoy it. Happy Reading my friends.
