About this listen
When someone tries to threaten me by telling me they know my name, I take that personally.
G'day. I'm not really a pet anymore, but you might as well keep calling me Pet. It's not like I'm gunna tell you my name anyway. And if I sound stroppy, well, I am. First, I was threatened. Now, someone has cut off my house from the human world and left my emotional support vampire on the human side. On the inside, it's just me and an emotionally compromised fae; outside, a closed arena in the world Behind, where everyone is out to kill us and a few of that everyone might actually be capable of it.
Yep. The Heirling Trials have begun, and it seems like it's either be king or be dead when it comes to the world Behind . . .

When you get up in the morning, the last thing you expect to see is a murdered guy hanging outside your window. Things like that tend to draw the attention of the local police, and when you're squatting in your parents' old house until you can afford to buy it, another thing you can't afford is the attention of the cops. Oh yeah. Hi. My name is Pet. It's not my real name, but it's the only one you're getting.

Story
Exiled, excommunicated, and with a bounty on his head, Athelas is lying low in Seoul for exactly one reason: he has a wedding to attend. Whether or not he's welcome is another matter. Luckily for Athelas, several bodies have turned up with their soft insides gnawed out, whether by magic or Behindkind—and the latest of those bodies is at the very wedding hall he has been staking out. The Behindkind investigators suspect one of Athelas's housemates: YeoWoo, a gumiho with a thirst for revenge and an even greater appetite for soft underbelly than Athelas.

Story
What is a maiden to do when her prince is not a prince, her hair won’t stop growing, and someone has cursed her to sleep for 300 years? In Polyhymnia’s case, it seems expedient to get up with the help of a kiss or two, trailing her hair behind her, and find out who did it. Nothing quite works out as planned, however, and Poly can’t be sure if that’s because she never seems to be able to remember things like the mysterious spindle that keeps showing up around her, or if it’s the fault of the wizard who woke her but never stops long enough to explain anything.

King Markon of Montalier is at the end of his tether. His son, Prince Parrin, is afflicted with a rather nasty curse that slaughters, maims, or brutally attacks any woman with whom he so much as flirts. After the rumor that sweeps around the kingdom, promising that any woman breaking the "curse" will be eligible to marry the prince, there is no shortage of willing volunteers. Unfortunately, there is also no shortage of bodies piling up.

My name is Danica James. I'm a cop with the Arcane Division. Most mages have the ability to manipulate the elements - fire, water, air, earth, electricity. My magic only works on machines and electrical devices. They call me a magitek. That doesn't help much with demons and vampires, let alone criminals with lethal magikal powers.

SO FLAMIN' GOOD!
The 9th (I think) installment of the Between series is every bit as good as all the previous ones. My review is really for the entire series, I guess, as each book flows seamlessly into the next.
These characters, so familiar by book 9, are extremely well written & fleshed out (insert chuckle), and PERFECTLY narrated by ZJN. While I know that logically the author deserves all the credit for creating the stories/characters, I can't deny that the narrators impeccable skills bring them to life (another chuckle) in brilliant 3-D. If you've gotten this far in the series, I know you feel the same.
I don't want this series to end, as the characters have become part of my daily rhythm over the past few months.
Listen & enjoy! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Love this cast of characters
It took me about three books to really get hooked on this series, and now I can't get enough. It's funny and whimsical and the worldbuilding is somehow both strange and charming. The narrator is the perfect fit for this series and I can't wait for book 10 (though I'll be sad to see the series end).
