ARC Review: Invisible (The Twixt #2) by Dawn Metcalf @dawnmetcal @HarlequinTEEN

Some things lie beneath the surface. 

Invisible. 

With the power to change everything. 

Joy Malone wants it all—power, freedom and the boyfriend who loves her. Yet when an unstoppable assassin is hired to kill her, Joy learns that being the girl with the Sight comes with a price that might be too high to pay. Love will be tested, lives will be threatened, and everyone Joy knows and cares about will be affected by her decision to stand by Ink or to leave the Twixt forever. 

Her choice is balanced on a scalpel's edge and the consequences will be more life-altering than anyone can guess.

Brooke's Review:

I want to thank Harlequin Teen for providing me with an ARC of this book to read and give an honest review. Receiving this book for free has in no way altered my opinion or review.

WARNING: If you did not read the first book in this series there may be spoilers here you don't want to know about. So, what are you waiting for? Go back and read #1! If you're looking for an intriguing fantasy, then this one is it!

Invisible begins right where the first book left off. We are back in the life of Joy and her unlikely companions. She has the sight and some want her out of the picture despite her protection offered by the council. And, while we see all the characters we grew to love in the first book, they are put in a totally different situation in this sequel. And we get new characters, as well. We finally get a glimpse at Joy's brother.

And we get a deeper look into Joy and Ink's relationship. Where it seemed like perhaps it would be impossible for them to be together in the first book, the second book brings us right into their romance to watch it bloom and grow. Yes, their relationship is quite unorthodox. After all, who but she and the others from the Twixt can see that Ink exists. But it works for them. Though I will say I can see where Joys' family may have questioned her sanity many times with how she acts when she's trying to ensure Ink is not found out.

Dawn's writing is really fantastic. There's nothing boring about how or what she writes. It flows easily and keeps you ingrained in the story. She knows how to writes action and adventure! She's created a completely unique world. It's reminiscent of Vicotria Schwab's The Archived or perhaps even the world of Narnia!

Overall, this book really took me for a ride. And how excited am I to see that there are other books set to be released with this series! So, if you enjoy fantasy in a world set like Alice in Wonderland, then The Twixt series is for you!

The role of Dawn Metcalf will be played by the tall brunette in the off-the-shoulder, floor-length leather straitjacket. Makeup by Clinique, buckles by Jada Pinkett-Smith, hair by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.

I have no good excuse for the way I write. I lived in a normal, loving, suburban home, studied hard, went to college, went to graduate school, got married, had babies, and settled down in northern Connecticut. Despite this wholesome lifestyle, I've been clearly corrupted by fairy tales, puppet visionaries, British humour and graphic novels. As a result, I write dark, quirky, and sometimes humorous speculative fiction.
