Publisher's summary

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.

Fun read and great narrators

This book is setup as 2 books. The first is from the point of view of the heroine, the second from the hero’s POV. The narrator changes between books. While I usually hate the change in narration, I feel like it served a purpose in this book, making it clear that the two perspectives were totally different. I was intrigued by the first book, but hooked by the second book. Now I’m waiting impatiently for the next installment. Great listen,

One of the best books I’ve listened to in awhile!!

I am so bummed that I finished this book before the second one is done because I don’t want to have to wait. This is Ho early one of the best books and well worth the credit. If you are a fan of Shannon Mayer, KF Breene and Molly Harper; you will not be unhappy with the purchase.

Super fun and original story

Truly enjoyed listening to this book. The storyline is original and creative. I will wait with bated breath for L.L. Starling to release the second book of the Chronicles of Between.

Great story, but looks to be a Neverending Cliffhanger

The story is great. Nice long
listen. The interactions between Sasha and the other characters are sometimes funny and always endearing. Unfortunately, the book ended in a cliffhanger a couple years ago with no second book in sight.
