ARC: The Other Inheritance by Rebecca Jaycox

Goodreads Description:

One girl. Two worlds. Hunted in both.

Seventeen-year-old Reggie Lang is used to dealing with her alcoholic mother and fighting school bullies, but fate has thrown her a curve ball.

A biker dude shows up in her dreams, babbling about magic and a world called the Other. As the incidents keep piling up—like bringing a frog back to life in class—Reggie has to confront the mounting evidence that she’s not the normal girl she craves to be.

Reggie’s life is changing, and she has no idea why. Or whether she should believe the man in her dreams, who claims she’s in danger and that only he can keep her safe. But if there’s one thing Reggie will learn, nowhere is safe.

My Review:

★★★

Solid 3 stars. I was pleasantly surprised I liked Rebecca Jaycox’s debut novel! I thought it was beautifully written. I loved the characters, the character development, the vivid intriguing world, and the dialogue. I was hesitant at first, when I thought the story would revolve around the typical cliche of the ‘chosen one’ but when it came to it, I wasn’t that disappointed because somehow it revolved around every character in the story instead of the chosen one. It’s told in third pov following various characters but it usually sticks to Reggie. I found Reggie to be a strong, and capable heroine and I adored her love interest, Asher, but I was disappointed in how fast their relationship evolved in a matter of a week, but overall I thought they were a strong couple together and I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!
