A mysterious past, a grand destiny – can a simple waitress save the galaxy?

Mini’s just a waitress in a dingy space bar. But when her mysterious past comes knocking on her door in the form of a tiny red creature called Od, everything changes. According to him, she’s all that stands between the galaxy and an invasion of soul-sucking creatures from the in-between dimensions. As Mini’s galactic experience revolves around serving drinks and smiling at customers, she finds that unlikely.

But Od’s right. So she reaches for the closest thing at hand – a frying pan – and gives saving the galaxy a go. She isn’t alone, however; she’s caught the eye of a handsome Galactic Military Commander, and he won’t take his eyes off her until the end.

….

The Betwixt follows a waitress and a stiff-lipped marine battling a mysterious plot to destroy the galaxy. If you love your space operas with action, heart, and a splash of romance, grab The Betwixt Book One today and soar free with an Odette C. Bell series.

Ratings and reviews

thought it was awesome until Mini finally had a chance to find out all of the information she was searching for, about herself and her people, and she acted like a weak, pathetic woman. I'm not saying all women are weak and pathetic. Im saying this character, the protagonist of the story, the hero that's meant to "save the galaxy", was falling to pieces during a pivotal, and not that scary, part in the story. I was surprised the author didn't say "she piddled in her panties, and had cramps like she was on her period." It was actually really close to that, and it was so silly and ridiculous, it just completely ruined the whole story. How would a lead character, that's been trying to find out who she was and where she came from, fall to pieces like a 4 year old girl, when she was in front of an AI holigram of a human, with "390,000 entries on The People"??? The entire time she was talking to the AI and the "librarian", the writer had her "feeling tightness in her tummy" and "putting her hand on her tummy" then more "she could feel her tummy fluttering with butterflies"...it just lost the plot. I've seen so many people post comments like"Women can't right good science fiction!", and I thought it was sexist and disgusting because I had read many good books written by women, but I guess now I can understand how they came to that conclusion...they could have read this book, and a couple more just as ridiculous. I'm more sad than mad. I really enjoyed the story until that happened. It just blew it for me. Would be a great book for the "young girls" section of the bookstore, but not for grownup's consumption. Not bad for free, but I won't be buying book 2 anymore. 🤢...🤮
