Defiance meets the lawyer at the house where the lawyer practically throws the keys at her in her hurry to get away from the house named Percival. Not long after that, she meets the delicious looking handyman, Roane. Soon her BFF Annette joins her at the house. People start showing up at the door asking her to help find things. They seem to think she is a witch. After some weird events, Defiance begins to think they may be right.
I really enjoyed reading this book. The characters were for the most part likable except for her ex and his mother. We meet her family and the chief of police among others.
The style of the writing is similar to the Charley Davidson series. I had no issue with this. I enjoy that style. I had a very minor issue with the way that Defiance comes across as much younger than her 40 something years.
Plot moves along at a fast enough rate. I just wanted her to open the first file on the computer faster. I enjoyed the twists. The end was a little bit of a cliffhanger. I'm glad I'm reading it now when the second book is already available.
I gave this book 5 stars. Overall it's worth a read. There is mystery, paranormal,and a touch of romance. If you've read other things by Darynda Jones and liked them, you will enjoy this book. It's full of snark, action, and twists.
Betwixt is the first book in the Betwixt and Between series. Bewitched is book two and is available now. Beguiled, book three, will be available February 15th, 2021 from Feather & Leaf, LLC.
