I also really liked how Quinn and Kara’s friendship was shown. I liked the flashbacks we got to see about what happened the day Emma disappeared. I loved this book! I was pretty sure what the twist was early on, but that didn’t detract at all from the story. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. *My review is based on an advanced reader copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley. “The Inn Between” is a story of loss and friendship and should especially appeal to readers who may be dealing with similar issues. In fact, they felt very in keeping with the whole tone of the book. I didn’t find their presentation offensive or strange. If those are concepts you are familiar with, they will immediately stand out. While one could argue that Christian themes of heaven and hell are sneakily woven into “The Inn Between,” it didn’t feel that surreptitious to me. It deals with child abduction and death, and one scene in particular vividly details hell in a way that sticks with you. ![]() ![]() While this book is for middle graders, I would caution that it’s a bit dark and heavy. Quinn’s story unfolds as Cohen shifts from past to present, unraveling the mystery of Emma’s disappearance and that of the inn at the same time. The setup for “The Inn Between” is perfect for middle-graders in that author Marina Cohen expects readers to use their imaginations and fill in the gaps.
