Between Life and Death

Between Life and Death Series, Book 1

By: Jaclyn Kot

Narrated by: Nikki Grey, Connor Brannigan

"His eyes returned to mine, that invisible tether between us strung too tight. That magnetic pull, it was unbreakable, unyielding. Eternal. And it demanded that we collide."

On the secluded continent of Edenvale, possessing magic is a death sentence. Those who have it are labeled Cursed, and by order of the king, they are Cleansed—a horrific event utilizing a hot, hungry pyre and an iron collar. Enemy to the king, a group known as the Cursed rebels defend their lands from his reach, creating an ongoing bloodthirsty war.

When Sage's brother is conscripted for the war, she is forced to trade in her cozy, peaceful cottage life and join the Cursed rebels to get him back. Her mission seems straightforward, but Von, the leader of the Cursed rebels, comes riddled with dark secrets. With his otherworldly eyes, black as a starless night, and a taste for juicy thigh—ahem—red apples, Sage knows better than to get involved with a guy like him. But knowing and doing are two very different things.

Together with the Cursed rebels and Von, the king of inky deals and sexy, stolen moments, Sage embarks on the quest of a lifetime. Little does she know that fate is at work and the gods are watching her every move.

Between Life and Death is for ACOTAR fans looking to scratch that insatiable itch.

Very good

Honestly, I see a lot of comments about how it’s not “ elaborate, or detailed “ honestly I loved this book, I think it had just enough of everything. It’s her and his story, so when there wasn’t a lot of world building I wasn’t upset. I have a feeling we we get soooo much more in book two. I loved this read, perfect if you’re looking for something easy and fun.

Loooove

Finally!!! A hades and Persephone inspired love story where you can FEEEEEL the depth of his love! In a dark and fabulous way- without being corny or some lackluster character development!!! Absolutely loved Von. His character is one of my fave MMCs recently… and the things he says 🔥🔥🔥 YES PLEASE lol
And both narrators killed it.

Making myself wait to read book 2 (waiting for the audiobook to come out Instead of just going in KU to read it lol)
Great job!!!

Wonderful Listen

✔️duet narration - wonderfully done btw!
✔️ excellent storyline
✔️ cursed elements?? Count me in!

I absolutely loved everything about this listen! The narrators did a spectacular job throwing their voices to help differentiate the characters that were talking! Please note: this is not a massive SMUT book. The hints that were added, added dimensions to the characters!

Cannot wait to listen to book 2!

Worth it

Actually reminds me of a dream I had. It’s been a while since I’ve been so in love with a series. Beautiful world and characters. Only thing I’m disappointed in is that I wish I found this series sooner. 🫶🏽🌙

Good, but

I enjoyed this book, however without giving anything away, there are so many moments when the FL gets told or witnesses something and instead of questioning it, she kinda just excepts it. Which leaves the readers with so many unanswered questions and confusion.
