The Space Between by Brenna Yovanoff

5.0

So this book I picked up and bought without even reading the jacket because the cover was so awesome. The cover is an incredible rendition of Pandemonium and the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith and the embodiment of sin. The cover shows Lilith's garden that Lucifer made for her because she missed Earth and wasn't allowed to step foot on Earth of again. This book was a very interesting story on religious figures. It makes those figures seem so human.

The characterization in this story is what made the whole book. Without it it would not be anywhere as good as it was. It showed that even the embodiment of sin (Daphne) Lilith and Lucifer's daughter can redeem herself in God's eyes. She starts out afraid of change and a very monotone character but after she meets Truman she changes shows her emotions and becomes the embodiment of humanity which is fun considering her demon status. Obie, her brother, has a horrible ordeal that makes Hell look pleasant and Truman is just a sad, pathetic, miserable wreck. Daphne makes the whole book. Now the bad guys are angels who have fallen and some that haven't. It brings the legends of Beelzebub, Lucifer, Lilith, and Azrael to life in such a fun way.

WARNING: This book is very very morbid. The death scenes are graphic and it does throw a wrench in some popular religious stories. It has suicide and other sins also in graphic detail.
