Between
Stuck in a meaningless job, Eight is treading water in life until a car accident leaves her in a coma. Suddenly, she finds herself in the “Between” with a small group of strangers and an enigmatic immortal being named Sintra. Eight and the others have the opportunity to return to their lives—as long as they survive a series of tribulations devised by Sintra. Untrusting of the mysterious immortal, their resolve will be tested as they grapple with the tribulations while balanced on the precipice of life and death. Failure to survive means being ushered to the “After”—a place of peace…supposedly.

Finished it in two days! It’s a tear jerker for sure. It gave me Stephen Kings The Stand vibes or the tv series From in an alternate (slightly creepy) reality type of way. There’s so much going on but the writer does a great job of keeping you invested for the characters more so than the action so even when there are “rest days” you’re still eager to keep going. Also love the cover!

I absolutely love this book. I got it the day it was released and it came three days later. I started reading it that night that it came and finished at 5:04 in the morning. When I got a phone call from my sister telling me she was almost finished with her copy, I was so into the book that the phone ringing scared the heck out of me and I jumped. Wow! Super good book.

Between is a tense and emotionally engaging story that explores life, mortality, and the choices we make when pushed to the edge. The protagonist navigates a mysterious liminal world, facing high-stakes trials alongside other characters, where survival is never guaranteed.
The novel excels at blending suspense with emotional depth, showing how relationships, loyalty, and personal motivation influence outcomes in unexpected ways. The writing is generally strong, with clear prose and only minor stylistic quirks. Dialogue and pacing are handled well, and the story encourages readers to notice connections and patterns on their own.
Overall, Between is a compelling, thoughtful read that balances psychological insight with thrilling stakes. It’s immersive, thought-provoking, and keeps you turning pages.

I absolutely loved the idea for this book, and from the very first chapter, I was completely pulled into the story. The way the author creates the Between world, along with the After and Before, was so creative, especially for a debut novel. I also really loved that it’s a standalone <3.
This is such a great read to slip into your TBR, and trust me… be ready for the ending, it had me tearing up a little in the best way.

Thoroughly enjoyable!
I received this arc and I absolutely loved this book! It was different, interesting, and kept me guessing as to what the ending would be. The connections Eight forms with the others has you hoping for all to make it through the trials and go back to where they came from together. Only one way to find out… read it!!!

I DEVOURED this book. The relationship development between the characters was both heart wrenching and beautiful. The artistry of the Between was so well written that I could visually see in my mind what it must have looked like. This book had me laughing and crying. Such an amazing story and really makes you think if there’s such a place as the Between.

Beautiful
I beautiful look at what the afterlife could be. Trials, tribulations, laughter and tears. This story was wonderfully written. I finished it in one sitting. I will follow Cayenne and very much look forward to other books to follow.
