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.

great voice acting and original story

I absolutely loved the FMC POV narration. The voice actors many characters were very captivating, and at times you forget that you're only listening to one person!
The storyline is very original and the world building was very in-depth. I do hate a cliffhanger though! Will definitely have to keep an eye out for book 2.

This book is in my top 3 favourite this year!! It’s swoony, intriguing and hilarious. I ADORED each and every character, they were all a hoot!! 🤣 The performances of both narrators are spectacular and bring this magnificent story to life! It’s totally worth your credits! Don’t miss this book, it’s an absolute treat from start to finish!! 🤩It ends on a cliffhanger but the second book should be coming out in fall 2023. Can’t wait!!! Aaahhh!!! 😍🥰🤪🤣🤩❤️🎉

Eagerly awaiting a sequel…

This was a whirlwind of adventure, woven with witty humour and banter that had me chuckling throughout. A truly cozy fantasy read that I never wanted to end. And Emily Ellet’s performance was such a treat! Here's hoping for a sequel—I'm already itching to dive back into this enchanting world!

Possibly my favourite Audiobook

This book is the perfect blend of fantasy, comedy and cozy romance (with a sloooooow burn). The writing is phenomenal and the performance by both narrators bring it to life magically. I recommend listening to it in the order it's written your first time and then chronologically after that. There will be spoilers in the chronological version buy once you know what's going to happen it makes for such an interesting and fun listen! You catch so much you missed the first time around.

so much fun

I can't wait for part 2. The story is great fun. Truly quirky and engaging. And the voice acting is great. I'm sure this book is great in print as well, but for me, the audiobook format was perfect. Delightful enough to want to skip a dinner party and stay up late under a blanket giggling about a drunken unicorn.

the concept

I absolutely loved this book, it was funny, and kept me wanting more. I even was enthralled with Lorns version of events thought it was an exceptionally interesting concept to have his side of events, his thoughts and what he was doing when we already heard Sashas side.
I can't wait for the continuation of their story
