Books whisper to Beatrix Alba. But they aren't the reason she has never fit in. Bullied at home and school, she keeps a secret-a power of violence and darkness.
When the spell that keeps her hidden fails, she's catapulted into the Zweeshen, a realm where all tales live, and her dream of meeting her favorite characters comes true. But wishes are tricky, and behind its wonder and whimsy, the Zweeshen is under attack. A character is burning bookworlds in pursuit of a weapon to rule both stories and storytellers. To succeed, he needs a riddle in Beatrix's possession.
Now he's hunting her down.
Joining forces with William, a cursed conjurer, Beatrix must face an enemy who knows her every weakness in a realm where witches play with time, Egyptian gods roam, and Regency heroines lead covert operations. And with her darkness as the only weapon, she may have to sacrifice everything to save a world that rejects her.

Review

Unwritten a book for all those who don’t feel like they fit the mold of the world they are born into and seek to be normal for who should decide what is normal for you?. Beatrix dad is cruel and means, her classmates tease and despise her, and books whisper to her. Beatrix’s grandfather dies, and she discovers a letter that is a very tricky riddle that takes on a magical journey where she discovers that she, not entirely human. The world-building is unique, the characters are rich, the mystery around the letter is impressive, and the lessons from this book are a treasure. A love letter to everyone can be anything you want to be, and their no such thing as normal. I devoured this book from the first page to the heart-wrenching ending. What I found most unique to the story is that what you think will happen and how you think things will play out are not valid. They’re more for our heroine to learn, and I, and for one, can’t wait to learn it along with her.
