About this listen

A bewitchingly cozy, fiendishly funny cautionary tale about the perils of gatecrashing fairytale kingdoms—particularly ones with drunken unicorns, bored dragons, and sorcerers in tight leather pants.

Sasha Pierce hasn’t had a single dream since she was a child...until she accepts a substitute teaching position in the charmingly witchy village of Old Middleton. Her first dream in twenty-five years ought to be enchanting, but her wonder quickly turns to shock when she realizes that it’s not a dream at all, but an entirely different sort of magic.

Catapulted through an ancient portal into the fairytale kingdom of Between, Sasha’s astonishment is swiftly upgraded to panic when she accidentally performs a supposedly impossible feat and is declared the True Queen of Between...and betrothed to its infuriatingly handsome sorcerer king.

Lorn, Shadow King of Between, is desperate to break free from Between’s clutches. Magically tethered to the ramshackle kingdom, he wages a daily battle to save his disreputable subjects from rampaging magical creatures, sinkholes, and catastrophes of the distressingly lethal variety. To avoid an early grave, he needs an escape plan, not a wife...until he learns that this magicless mortal holds the key to his freedom.

Unwilling to leave her world to accept the crown—or the husband—Sasha must race against the clock to disentangle herself from this fairytale. But her empty throne leaves a dangerous rift between their worlds. As dark forces descend upon Old Middleton, the two must make a choice: work together or unleash fairytale chaos upon their realms.

Between is the spellbinding first novel in The Chronicles of Between fantasy series. Filled with feisty, fairytale-savvy heroines, swoon-worthy sorcerers, slow burn romance, morose minotaurs, and bawdy witches, it’s a laugh-out-loud fairy tale romp.

I didn’t know it was a series

If I’d known, I would have waited for more books as I’m more used to short term gratification in knowing what happens next!

Great story, any wait for more from this author

Brilliantly written

From start to finish Exceptional!!!! Funny & loads of well developed characters bouncing around the story keeping every chapter more interesting than the last. I couldn’t stop… I binged it all. And whilst I knew from the start that this was part of a series which no idea when the next book comes out just listening to the sample hooked me instantly. This is such a fantastic complicated storyline with a great comical approach. It was so different to hear the two povs separately but it was like a wonderful reveal in so many ways. All the OMG moments that were uncovered etc LOVED IT! My only complaint is the fact I’ll be waiting for the next book. And the narration was on point! Only warning for others there’s no lull in the story to pause so be prepared for the inevitable consequences. This totally would make an excellent movie of series… no pressure but please don’t let us wait too long for the next. Thank you !!!!!!!

A fabulous story that keeps you engaged for the entire 21-ish hours

Very much enjoyed this audiobook. The readers were the perfect choices. A great pick if you have a long journey ahead.
The cast were bewitching and witty. I need an inebriated unicorn in my life…if Lorn comes with it I wouldn’t be complaining.

LOVED IT!

such a fun and funny story
this feels like a love letter to those who adore labyrinth and to the girlies who devoured the fantasy section of their school library. Easy to listen to and read, no hidden plot points, and incredible narration duo who make the plot shine. 32 hours of content Is a bargain!!

deadpan hilarity

The story was already one of my favourites, but now the narrators have pulled of a complete cast of distinct miscreants and sarcasm masters of all ages and genders flawlessly. The comic timing is on point. overall an enhancement to the story, and thoroughly enjoyable. I'm already looking forward to my first repeat.
