Resumen del Editor

My name is Mackenzie Bartholomew, or at least it was. I’m staring at my dead body, lying in a casket. I was a healthy, 39-year-old mother of three.

I have so many questions but very few answers. Was I murdered? Did I commit suicide? I don’t know if I’m in some sort of purgatory or if I’ve gone straight to hell.

I’m stuck somewhere in between life and death, forced to travel back in time to relive moments from my past, ones I’d rather forget. I’m desperate to piece together the details surrounding my death. If I don’t, I fear my soul will never find rest.

Chock full of family drama, secrets, betrayal, and lies, Somewhere in Between is a psychological thriller with wicked twists that will keep you hooked until the last minute

Well done!

Loved it! This book was well written, with true to life experiences of one woman reliving her past to figure out her present death.
The story is told with the perfect mix of emotion and details that allow the reader to sympathize and visualize the situations described in the character's life. The main character was both likeable and relatable. I completely sympathized with her.
It was well done and I would highly recommend it.

Exceptional story telling!

I’d like to start off by saying that I am a tremendous fan of the author. Her first two books blew me away with her exceptional and brilliant story telling ability. This also applies to Somewhere In Between in regards to her skills as an author. And I can’t say enough about the narration by Erica Maity. It was flawless perfection!

However, for strictly personal reasons, I had difficulty investing emotionally in the main character of Mackenzie. As a mother, I found her actions inexcusable in not protecting her children from an unhealthy and toxic environment. Especially her oldest son. Her progressively weak character eventually lost my sympathy for the reason of her death. By the end, I honestly didn’t care. I realize my perspective is based purely on personal experience, and is the exception, not the norm for such individuals in similar situations. Because of this, I struggled on how to approach this review as an objective reader.

There were a few minor issues unrelated to my bias that seemed a little random. And based on the title, I was expecting a more fast paced suspense thriller. However, this does NOT diminish the brilliance of the author’s writing. Dawn is a master of seamlessly moving between time and space with her story lines. And her ability to create solid, believable characters (even ones you hate!) magnifies the talent of her craft.

Although my personal bias and emotions may have affected my review for this novel, I anxiously look forward to Dawn’s next book!

Very Addicting thriller!

Somewhere In Between by Dawn Hosmer

Very twisted thriller!! I loved the switched between now and memory and each memory gave you another piece of the puzzle. Great story, very addicting!

Heartbreaking and intense

This is a very powerful story, told from the perspective of a woman, Mac, who “wakes up” at her funeral, not understanding how she died. We are whisked back and forth between the funeral, and the past, some distant and then moving forward to more recent events until we come to the day she died. We witness, almost “A Christmas Carol” style, the things in her life that led to her various choices, and eventually her death. A narcissistic, horrible, manipulative mother, to a narcissistic, manipulative, abusive husband, we also see how her choices affected her children, as well as the love she felt for them. The story seems to be arcing towards an inevitable ending, but all the while, there are more hints at something more. The ending is bittersweet, as there really can’t be a happy ending when the main character is dead right from the start, and we learn so much throughout the book that makes that fact sadder and sadder. But given that, the ending gives a decent level of closure, and satisfaction.

All too real

A vivid, wrenching account of a toxic marriage of a narcissist and a codependent.

Stunning!

What a refreshing and absolutely thrilling read! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and had a very hard time "putting this book" down. One part thriller, one part murder mystery, and 100% stellar! Read it, you won't regret it!

Wow!!

I’m not sure how the author does this to me, but this is the second book I’ve read of hers and I’m just loving her psychological thrillers!!
The narrator, Erica did a beautiful job portraying Mac’s story! Easy to follow along.
This book is written to blow your mind and leave you speechless at the end. I would recommend this book for mature readers who don’t need to be wary of any trigger warnings. There’s a bit here that could trigger some people. Mackenzie find herself in a deep pickle and just when she thinks she’s made it she finds herself at her own funeral trying to collect all the details of what happens. It was easy to follow along with the “then and now” in the story.

Somewhere in Between

Man, what a story! This book has a lot of back and forth, but is is really needed to get the full story of what happened and what is going on. I saw the ending happening before we got there but it was such a fun listen all the way through. This is a first book from Dawn Hosmer I believe but will definitely not be my last.

Real

This story is definitely realistic with some unexpected twists and turns that are honestly hard to listen to because of the pain. The author takes you on a journey to find the truth...and the truth hurts.

What an emotional ride!

This is one of those books that touches your soul! It’s deep and emotional with so many aspects that could easily relate to real life. You are pulled through the important aspects of a life in such a unique perspective from most books. Loved it!
