You wake upon the cold ground. As you struggle to rise, as your breath exhales like a ghost, you know only two things: You can’t remember who you are. And you’re being hunted.
No one sleeps in Abeo City. The lost souls gather indoors at night asMore You wake upon the cold ground. As you struggle to rise, as your breath exhales like a ghost, you know only two things: You can’t remember who you are. And you’re being hunted.
No one sleeps in Abeo City. The lost souls gather indoors at night as Snatchers tear through the sky on black-feathered wings, stalking them. But inside the rotting walls of the Safe Houses comes a quieter, creeping danger. The people of Abeo City have forgotten their pasts, and they can trade locks of their hair to sinister women known only as the Sixers for an addictive drug. Nox will give you back a single memory--for a price.
Like the other lost souls, Lottie wakens in this harsh landscape and runs in terror from the Snatchers. But she soon comes to realize that she is not at all like the people of Abeo City. When she takes Nox, her memories remain a mystery, and the monsters who fill the sky at night refuse to snatch her. Trying to understand who she is, and how she ended up in such a hopeless place, Lottie bands together with other outcasts, including a brave and lovely girl named Charlie. In the darkness, and despite the threat of a monstrous end, love begins to grow. But as Lottie and Charlie plot their escape from Abeo City, Lottie’s dark secrets begin to surface, along with the disturbing truth about Twixt: a truth that could cost her everything. Less

I love everything I've read by Sarah Diemer. Her writing is an art form and she has an imagination that appears to have no limits.

Not that I ever doubted Sarah's writing but um. Twixt didn't just surpass my expectations, it ran past them like a marathon sprinter. Twixt is a beautiful beautiful tale of coming to terms with something horrible and heartbreaking and love and loss and it was equal par. Read full review

Like in Sarah's first novel, The Dark Wife, the core of Twixt is redemption, the idea that any of us, no matter our pasts or what others believe us to be, can be redeemed. And that love can bring out the best in us. But Twixt is a much different story than The Dark Wife.

4.5 just because I managed to guess who one of the main character really was during the first few chapters.
I was so rooting for Charlie and Lottie. I liked the ending.
What happened to Lottie at the end reminded me of a line I read from somewhere "life is just a chance t. Read full review

Twixt has an interesting plotline, but the execution fails to bring it to life. I'm not talking about the writing or the story structure, since those are done right for a story like this. Sarah Diemer has great strength in creating intriguing concepts and giving stories a. Read full review

I was looking forward to reading Twixt since I remember that I read The Dark Wife a couple years ago and enjoyed it, but I think Twixt failed to measure up to the The Dark Wife .
The prose in Twixt is lyrical, but unfortunately. Read full review

I liked this lesbian fantasy/mystery quite a bit. The setting was unusual and creative, the connection between the main character and her love interest compelling and sweet, and the story took turns I both expected and didn't expect. I liked how Lottie and Charlie were bo. Read full review

Wow! This book threw me for a loop! I don't want to reveal too much that would spoil the plot, but not everything is as it seems in twixt. For the first time in a while, I have been surprised by the end of a book. Highly recommended for those who like fantasy a. Read full review
