Reception

Every Other Day was generally well-received by critics.

Kirkus Reviews noted that the "story adopts a fairly standard mad-scientist premise but ends up coming across just as much a paranormal adventure" and concluded the book included "[s]ome good thrills" because "the main focus remains on suspense, well delivered."[1]

Publishers Weekly noted that the book "balances confident world-building, action, and strong character development."[2] Further, they appreciated that "all of the conflicts come to a head in an extended but gripping climax," saying, "Fans of adult-oriented urban fantasy should enjoy this as much as teens looking for a contemporary Buffy."[2]

The Young Adult Library Services Association selected the book for its annual list of Best Fiction for Young Adults in 2013.[3] It also received the Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award for Best Young Adult Urban Fantasy/Paranormal in 2012.[4]
