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.First of all, I’d like to take a second to admire the truly marvelous cover art, done by the amazing Spanish artist Nekro. He is responsible for some of my favorite covers, like Anna Dressed [...]

(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 at the review [...]

lack of affect can be a compelling thing to witness in a character. from Hitchcock's cool blondes to Bret Easton Ellis' hollow men to Fassbinder's gallery of life's victims to probably every character that has ever sprung from the mind of Marguerite Duras, lack of affect rarely fails to fascinate. and now that I've done my due diligence in trying to sound as high-brow and intellectual as I possibly can, please meet affect-less Daphne, daughter of Lilith and Lucifer, protagonist of the entrancing [...]

The treachery of a demon is nothing compared to the betrayal of an angel. In the dark is where she met my father.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 that lush, gorgeous cover, like a Baroque tapest [...]

I wanted Brenna Yovanoff to be my "Y" for the A-Z challenge, but this book is way too boring. There was nothing appealing about the characters or the story in the few chapters I read and I refuse to force myself to read any more of this when I have a pile of other books calling to me.Any suggestions for my "Y" would be gratefully received.

“Yes, he’s dead— for the only reason that matters. He died for redemption. I gave him redemption, even if I will never be forgiven.” – Beelzebub Kindle Location 3357-3558What attracted me to “The Space Between” was the Lilith story line. I am such a sucker for mythology and an even bigger sucker for religious mythology. I always find it interesting to see what kind of spin author will put on them.

I must confess, I was hooked on cover first. Then I really, really liked the mythological background of this story. Daphne, the main character plus half-narrator, is a daughter of Lilith, yes, that Lilith, and Lucifer. Being basically a blue blooded princess amongst her many relatives, she resides in Hell Pandemonium, where she hangs out with Beelzebub and other demons, mostly her sisters, the Lilim, girls with metal teeth. How can one not love metal teeth?But our Daphne is sort of an emo kid, s [...]

Disappointing but unique take on demon mythosIn Brenna Yovanoff's sophomore novel, The Space Between, Daphne has spent an apathetic life within the metal city of Pandemonium. As the half-demon, half-fallen angel daughter of Lilith and Lucifer, she lives in a space where little changes and love doesn't matter. When her brother Obie goes missing, Daphne realizes she must travel to Earth in an attempt to save him. Putting her own demon nature to the test and relying on Truman, a human boy with prob [...]

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.

I wrote a really nice review for this book but 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. it has two major issues: 1. there is an awkward dual persp [...]

The Space Between was filled with atmosphere and beautiful world building much in the style of Daughter of Smoke and Bone. The heroine, Daphne, is a demon but not evil. Yovanoff did a lovely job illustrating how a non-human might interact without making demons black and white villains. I was still reminded of the show Supernatural's illusive nuggets about the pit we didn't get to glimpse. I think Pandemonium wasn't as idyllic to other demons but being the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith had it'd [...]

[Thanks to Alexis for letting me borrow this!]Brenna Yovanoff is quickly becoming one of those authors whose books I will buy without even knowing what they are about. In just two books (The Replacement and now The Space Between), she's convinced me of her skill and understanding and finesse as a writer and made me trust that, whatever she's writing about, I will want to read it. I was a little fearful of the dreaded "sophomore slump" with The Space Between, and clearly there was no need for [...]

With the help of Truman they go on a journey to find Obie and along the way find the one thing they least expectedlove.Brenna's writing immediately pulls you in and leaves you in her world. In this case, two worlds, Pandemonium and Earth. I didn't have any trouble keeping myself i [...]

This is a weird book. I neither hated it nor loved it, despite the fact that it's highly creative. Part of the problem is the narration from Daphne -- she's a demon, who barely experiences emotion, and so despite the horror imagery and some really terrifying things that happen, there was a sense of distance or disconnect of some sort that kept it all from registering very strongly for me. Parts of the story are told in third person from Truman's POV, and I personally found those bits much more i [...]

I've been wanting to read this book for a looong time. Granted, it may have been mostly because of that jaw-dropping cover, but I was also intrigued by the premise of the story. A YA novel told from the perspective of Lucifer's daughter is not something that you encounter every day. I haven't read much literature when it concerns angels and demons: a theme that has rushed in to take the place of the vampire craze post-Twilight. If the general GoodReads population is to be believed, most of these [...]

I really didn't know that angels of the non-fallen variety would be a part of the plot. Had I have known that I probably wouldn't've been anxiously awaiting the release of The Space Between. As a general rule of thumb, for some strange reason, I don't particularly care for stories revolving around demons and archangels battling it out. It might be because, strangely, angel lore/stories/movies bore me to tears. Supernatural and Daughter of Smoke and Bone are my two exceptions. But demons on the o [...]

Everything is made of steel, even the flowers. How can you love anything in a place like this?Brenna Yovanoff's The Space Between is the poignant and beautiful tale of a semi-confused and not-like-expected character resulting from the pair of Lucifer and Lilith.

4 Stars and a cautionThis story is definitely not for the faint of heart.I am not going to give away the plot.Nor the beauty of the demonic world created by Brenna Yovanov, or the luscious prose, and amazing characterization.Just few hints: Take one emo kid named Truman(Think of Sam , without the guitar and wearwolfism, and add 1000 times more angst on top of it!), add a demon girl named Daphne(think of Karu ,without blue hair, tatoos, colorful beading nacklace, and all that joy de vivre and kic [...]

This would have been an AMAZING book, only if it had (at least) 400 pages. I was intrigued by the world and the interesting take on demons & offspring of Lilith (aaand Lucifer, aaand a bunch of other demon dudes) , however, for the most part this book seemed rushed. There was so much more space to build the world, develop characters and flesh out the relationships. If only this was the fist book in series, I could overlook the flaws, but, alas, it's a standalone novel, so this is all we get. [...]

If you'd told me that my YA keeper shelf would contain a book about one of Lucifer's daughters and how she leaves hell and gets help finding her brother from a guy who wants to kill himself, I would have said, Sure, and then we'll all get free ponies!Guess what?

One of my besties GENEROUSLY loaned me her advanced reader's copy of this book. I took it with me while on vacation and cracked it open in Germany. Wow. LOVED the divergent take on the creation story. Read quickly & thought about the characters in between walking tours and sightseeing. That said, this is not a book for 12 & older as the book cover states. This story is for mature teens only. It is dark, violent, and contains mature themes. Even so, I still enjoyed it. read in Frankfurt07 [...]

Brenna's debut novel, The Replacement didn't really appeal to me. Don't get me wrong; the novel was a study in world building with a story line that's quite unique. But the lyrical writing left me completely baffled. I thought that the book was better suited for the intellectual types, because heaven knows, I've yet to figure out what it was about. When I saw this book on , I'd given it a somewhat lukewarm reception. I was expecting the same writing style - puzzling in a lot of ways but beautifu [...]

Then, because it wasn’t good for man to be alone, God made Lilith. And that was the first mistake. She came to Adam across a meadow delirious with flowers and he was in love. She didn’t love him back. He didn’t see the darkness in her. He was young and thought that she could change. My father says that’s just what happens w [...]

However, it wasn't until I read many good reviews about this book that I decided to finally get it and glue my eyes into its pages. It was the prologue that completely did it for me.

Written in two perspectives, this YA novel puts a relatively fresh spin on the whole angels/demons theme. Daphne’s POV, the main one, is written in first-person present, while Trumann’s human point-of-view is third-person past, complete with a countdown clock at the beginning of his chapters. This goes to underscore the lack of time and flow in Pandemonium compared to Earth.The perpetuity is just one of the details Yovanoff applies skilfully to Daphne’s home.

Sad to say I think giving this book a two is actually somewhat generous. It feels as something of a mash-up with Melissa Marr and Julie Kagawa and unfortunately the worst of their traits.Something that really bothers me quite a bit is when an author refuses to actually explain the basic bones of the story. I have no idea who Lilith is and her story is barely touched upon, but still, I'm left with questions which shouldn't be occupying my head if I'm trying to get into the story. Why would a demo [...]
