Twixt (Paperback or Softback)

Enchanting, inspiring, and magical: Twixt is a novel to tuck under your pillow at night to revisit in your dreams… Everyone knows the wild legend of Corvine O’Dannan, the mysterious Irish woman with “fairy powers” who came to town during the gold rush to find her fortune, only to be betrayed by her lover and meet a tragic end. Fast forward to the twenty-first century, and her descendent Rose doesn’t have time for such nonsense! After a crash-and-burn marriage, she’s returned to her hometown to start over. But everything changes when a love spell conjures up the spirit of the very same man who once tormented Rose’s ancestor. Why? Because Rose was Corvine O’Dannan in a past life—and her really bad habit of attracting Mr. Wrong still haunts her, and now jeopardizes her very life. What Rose doesn’t realize is that along with this dark curse comes an extraordinary blessing—in the form of a soul guardian named Chance Murphy who’s been protecting her for centuries. But this time around, the evil spirit that plagues Rose has stolen Chance’s body. So the only way that Chance can reach her is late at night in her dreams, when he appears as a magical raven who escorts her to an enchanted island off the coast of Ireland. There, Chance becomes a man again, and he shows Rose how to heal her past through the fairies’ special brand of magic. But will Rose finally be able to forge a new future and make the man of her dreams become real? Only if she can once again believe… Twixt is Book 1 in the Enchanted Outlaw Series of magical contemporary romances with a time travel twist.

"Twixt is one of those books which takes you on a journey, with layer after layer of power and mystery unfolding with every page. It's a compelling fairy tale but fluffy it is not--it echoes with raw emotion, strength and recovery through magical elements that are woven through every page. Twixt is a tale of recovery, redemption and unconditional love--sprinkled with fairy dust and magic. You don't have to love fairy stories to love this story. It will stay with you for days." -Meg McNulty, From Darcy to Dionysis Review

"Twixt is the perfect blend of contemporary fantasy fiction and romance. Diane J. Reed writes with a captivating richness of detail, whether she is describing the fairy realm that spills over into the modern world or the protagonist's struggle to break out of a negative cycle in her life and reconnect with her family and ultimately herself. I bought the paperback version, and I'm so glad I did! Some books you just want to feel the pages turning beneath your fingertips, and Twixt certainly is one of them. It has an adored place on my bookshelf with my contemporary fantasy fiction novels. Diane Reed drew a fairy ring with her book Twixt, and it was a 'fairy blessing' for me to jump right into it!" -Lori J. Fitzgerald, White Raven Writing Review

"In search of romance, Rose finds out more about herself and the spirits that surround her, including the truth about her past lives. Twixt is an intriguing modern fantasy, well worth considering." -The Midwest Book Review
