The Divine Between, Book 1

De: Jess Wisecup

Narrado por: Kelsey Navarro, Sean Crisden

A mother will do anything to save her child, no matter the cost.

After her daughter is kidnapped, Emmeline Highclere—a thirty-four-year-old mother living in isolation with memories and grief her only companion—must do everything in her limited power and divine abilities to get the girl back.

Emmeline believes her daughter, Elora, is the Beloved—the conduit with goddess-granted divine abilities prophesied to bring peace to the Three Kingdoms. Because the last person thought to be the Beloved was brutally murdered by the enemy kingdom of Folterra, Emmeline has dedicated the last sixteen years to hiding her daughter and keeping her safe. When Elora is kidnapped by a Folterran prince, Emmeline must leave her place of hiding, resolving to do anything to rescue her daughter. But to have any chance against those who took the girl, Emmeline must call upon one of the most powerful conduits in the Three Kingdoms, the Crown Prince of Vesta—the man who broke her heart—and hope he helps her despite their estrangement.

With the weight of his father’s impending death hanging over his head, Crown Prince Rainier has begun to make moves to prove his dedication to assume the role of king. When he is visiting the estate that was once a second home to him, the woman who has long haunted his dreams and consumed his thoughts appears before him, asking for his help to find the child she had with another man. Now, he must decide: does he drop what he is doing to help Emmeline, or does he maintain his unwavering duty to the Crown?

Now, Emmeline and Rainier must work together to find the Beloved—to save the girl from the Folterrans and fulfill the prophecy of peace—while they both battle feelings of remorse, grief, and heartbreak, trying to ignore the heated desire and simmering attraction between them that never left.

Between Wrath and Mercy is book one of The Divine Between series. It contains explicit content and dark elements, including mature language, violence, and sexual content, and it ends on a cliffhanger.

Loved this!!!!

Ahhhh…..I loved this and I need the next book!!!

There are so many surprising twists and turns, and the romance…gods!!! The passion and spice was of the charts with these two!! I freaking LOVE Rain!!!

This is highly recommended if you love fantasy and romance! But it is so much more than just that, the intense action scenes, being afraid certain characters would die, it has you flying through it to see what is going to happen!! And THE ENDING!!! I’m just gonna say that it’s a good thing book two is already out!!!

Loved it!

Was a great story, and I loved both narrator’s! To bad he was just at the end. However, she did great for all parts! Loved it!

Couldn't finish because of narration

Unfortunately had to stop on chapter 6 because something about narrator's voice is just very unpleasant to my ear. its the way she ends every sentence with this weird tone of her voice like she is running out of air or something. Reading other reviews and I seem to be the only one with that problem LOL so pay no mind to me
Anyway, the story I found intriguing and having a FMC in her 30s is refreshing. I might pick up a print copy, but audio version is just not working for me.

Asleep by Ch. 3

I am surprised I lasted that long. Thought I was being too hasty so backed up, but didn't help. Idk if it was the story or the narrator, tbh. The story was slow and confusing. I get building up intrigue by holding back details, but this story gave me a headache trying g to figure out the foundation of the story aside from the blurb.
The narrator did a decent job with the fmc, but any voices she had to do were horrid.
** Additional thoughts **
Okay, I tried again bc I'm broke, and this book is a decent length. Skipped through a lot again, but it was a hit better than my first try. Emma still bugs me with her waffling. The intricate details of scenes were just filler and unnecessary. The male narrator was good up until he did female voices. Those were awful.
On a good note, the entirety didn't give me a headache. Yay?

I love the love story.

It was a little long winded at the beginning but I’m glad that I stayed til the end. It was great story. Now off to book 2.
