Tab Bennett and the Inbetween by Jes Young

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


From Goodreads: Yesterday Tab Bennett was a bank teller. Today she’s at the center of a centuries old war between Light and Dark. Tomorrow...well let’s just say she’ll be lucky if she lives to see it.

Engaged to her childhood sweetheart, employed at the local bank, and finally living on her own for the first time at twenty-four years-old, Tab Bennett has no interest in a fairy tale life. She’s perfectly happy with the normal one she already has. But when her sister is murdered on a moon-dark night, revealing a world of power and magic she never dreamed existed, a fairy tale is exactly what her life becomes. Figures it would have to be the Grimm kind.

Just like that, the life she had planned is over. Instead of cashing checks and handing out lollipops, Tab is unraveling clandestine assassination plots and learning to wield the magic that is her birthright. And as if fulfilling her destiny isn’t hard enough, she’ll also have to choose between Robbin, a man who’s turned out to be a lot more complicated than the proverbial boy next door, and Alexander, the handsome prince whose smile leaves her weak-kneed and weak-willed.

Now, while Tab struggles to hold on to the human world she’s always known and understand her place in the magical one she’s just discovered, dangerous forces are gathering close to home. If she wants to live to see happily ever after, she’ll have to figure out who she can trust, who wants her dead, and why. The answers will change everything she believes about herself, the people she loves, and the place she calls home.

Tab Bennet and the Inbetween was soooo good. After the death of her sister Tab learns that everything in her life is not what it seems. She learns her fiancee is not who she thought, neither are her family. Then Alexander (a prince!) shows up and she practically jumps in his lap the first time they meet. She's confused about her life and her split feelings between Robbin and Alexander. She has to deal with the loss of her sister, and all the changes in her life. Tab is a great character. She's a little stubborn and naive but that just makes her much more interesting. There are so many twists in this story but it's awesome! I was seriously suprised by some of what I learned throughout the book. This is a fantastic story (I would definitely reread this), and I hope book two comes out soon!
