Two Between Worlds is an enticing romance and paranormal tale by Nissa Harlow. Arianna Warne and Ephraim Diaz-Pierce have known each other since childhood. Crippled by her anxiety disorder, Ari takes comfort in Eph's soothing aura. His lack of arms is no obstacle to their friendship, and he discusses comfortably with Ari how he thinks he should have been an angel. However, Ari's sister, Skylar, is repulsed by Eph's physical appearance and feels her sister is insane just for wanting to be his friend. When a disastrous party leads to Eph rescuing Ari to take her home, a multi-vehicle accident leads to a large explosion, destroying their vehicle with Eph trapped inside. Ari blames herself for losing her best friend and retreats inside her emotional bubble until she learns that Eph survived. Hezekiah visits Eph and Ari at the hospital, where the two kindred spirits learn the truth of Eph's existence and place in the world. Although Ari is in love with her best friend, Eph pushes her away, convincing her to go to the prom with his friend Jared, a monster in disguise.
My mind is still buzzing after reading Between Two Worlds. Not only is this the most unusual story I have ever read, but the intensity in these brilliantly narrated characters is genuinely unique. I love how Nissa Harlow starts the book, as it immediately had me intrigued by the friendship between these two youngsters. The tale begins in the middle, before memories of Arianna's childhood take over, introducing us to the main characters. While I am new to this concept, I applaud how Harlow has developed it, and I have finally stopped crying, as I can be a bit of a sop for well-written stories. I could easily relate to Ari's anxiety disorder due to my own, and I could immediately feel the love between two people from different backgrounds. Unfortunately, both Ari and Eph are unjustifiably treated like outcasts, which seems to happen far too often today. I place Harlow's enchanting tale on the top shelf of my book collection, where the best of the best belong, and I feel the story will be enjoyed by readers aged 15 and upwards. I hope to see more exciting tales by this author.
