Falling Betwixt — Sara C. Roethle

"I never wanted to hurt anyone. I know, that's what the worst type of people say, but hey, maybe I'm the worst type of person. I'd been brought into the middle of an underground war. In-fighting had begun amongst the Vaettir as each clan strove to be the greatest power, and things were only escalating. Politics are a real pain." Stolen from a life of isolation, Madeline is thrown into a dark world of magic, romance, and deception. The Vaettir are unnatural beings out of ancient myth, and they need her help in exchange for a new home where she might actually fit in with a man she's pretty sure she could love. The only catch is that she might have to kill a few people, and swallow more than a few lies in the process.
