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 in Bloo [...]

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 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 reviews I ve wr [...]

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 entrancingly [...]

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 tapestry or Hier [...]

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 of this when I have a pile of other books calling to me.Any suggestions for my Y would be gratefully received.

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, she s [...]

Disappointing but unique take on demon mythosIn Brenna Yovanoff s sopho 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 problems of [...]

I wrote a really nice review for this book but ate it, so I will try again but seeing as I am getting progressively 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 perspectives narrat [...]

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 adva [...]

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 sopho slump with The Space Between, and clearly there was no need for me to worry.As [...]

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 involving b [...]

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 new [...]

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 other [...]

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 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 kick ass [...]

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 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.However, if you r [...]

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 beautiful noneth [...]

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 Subtle layering of angel and demon hist [...]

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 demon h [...]
