I've read quite a few books where the chapters/sections alternate between two POVs--one in first person, the other in third person. Sometimes there's a switch from present tense to past tense as well. Usually I'm okay with it.

Paula Hawkins had multiple POV characters and used first-, second-, and third-person narration in Into the Water. It was a confusing and convoluted mess.
