Happy pub day to this cutie! I had the opportunity to read this book early - which you know I was happy about because I have been obsessed with line between 2 worlds for over a year. 🗡️ so when I found out I could get my hands on this one, I jumped at the opportunity!
I loved line between 2 fates so much! It felt like coming home and seeing some of my favorite characters after way too long! I did cry on one scene of this story, book one made me sob multiple times. 🗡️❤️🩹 I can’t wait to see what else author @audreywebblibrary has in mind for this series! 🤍
I highly recommend you read book one and then this one.
Genre: NA & adult - dark romantasy
Spice: fade to black (words in the fade to black scenes: “undressed her, made love”. the most that it mentions on body parts is “her breast” - nothing super descriptive.
Language: only word - wh*re
Other content: drinking, death, killing (a bit descriptive)
Line between 2 worlds synopsis (must read 1st): in comments - it didn’t fit here. 😊
I have LOVED this series and reading Valarie and Theo’s story! There were a lot of twists I didn’t see coming, but also it took me on an emotional journey to see Theos story and what his life has looked like over the last 10 years. It was beautiful to see how Valarie handled everything thrown her way! I can’t wait to see what Audrey Webb writes next!
“Puppets do not know the reason they dance, they simply do as they are told.”
Unconditional love. Grief. Trauma. PTSD. Found family. Sacrifice. Betrayal. Forgiveness. Redemption. Healing. These are some of the many themes you will encounter in this book.
When I say I want dark fantasy, THIS is what I mean. The dark themes, the complex emotions, the ugly parts of reality. All of it. This one was much darker and more mature than the first book and I LOVED it.
The author does an excellent job at capturing the complexity of human emotions. The characters feelings are palpable. I felt like I was feeling their emotions as the reader. While the story and themes were dark, I felt like there was a good balance of other elements, like romance or humor, that kept it from being too dark or too political.
In the this book, we get two new POVs, which add a lot of depth and complexity to the plot. I loved also getting some backstory on certain characters. We get to see that villains are made, not born. I was able to empathize with the villain even though I didn’t agree with him.
Also, we have an FMC who is in her 30s and a mom!! Love to see that representation in fantasy. Valarie is so relatable as a character. There was also so much character growth and development in this book.
I absolutely devoured this book. I finished it the day I started it, and I haven’t done that in awhile. The journey was wild but the ending was sweet, which I thought was well deserved after everything the characters went through. I am so excited to see where Audrey goes with the next books in the series!
(I was gifted this arc by the author and am leaving a review of my own free will)
I received an advance reader copy of Line Between Two Fates by Audrey Webb in exchange for an honest review.
This romantasy sequel completely exceeded my expectations. I went in thinking I had a sense of where the story might go after the cliffhanger in book one, but I was wrong in the best way. The plot took unexpected turns that kept me fully engaged, and I loved how the author wove everything together. Elements from the first book came back in meaningful ways, making the story feel cohesive and intentional.
The pacing was strong throughout, never dragging but still giving space for the story to breathe. The characters were especially well done, both for returning characters and new additions. Each felt purposeful and added depth to the unfolding story.
One of the most compelling aspects for me was Valerie. Her unwavering faith in Theo and her determination to bring him back, even after he’s become something she never imagined he would, added an emotional core that kept me invested the entire time.
The twists were incredibly enjoyable and kept me guessing, which made it hard to put the book down.
Overall, I absolutely loved this book and would highly recommend it to fans of romantasy who enjoy unexpected plot developments, strong character arcs, and emotionally driven storytelling.
The vibes: - Book 2 in series - Assassins - A new pov - Fade to black
My thoughts: This book starts off immediately where book 1 ended. I saw major improvement in the writing style and the flow of the story. The characters had so much more depth in this book which I appreciated. The trauma of book 1 created such an interesting dynamic in a few characters which I liked to see. I also liked getting to see a different side of Emmerson- and I felt excited for her story as the series continues.
This book made me question how far a person can go and still be redeemable as a character. Val was a whole other level of gracious, and wherever you land with your feelings- you will definitely feel something.
The surprise new POV was such an interesting approach that had a massive pay off. My jaw was on the ground with the reveals, I was mind blown. Those moments were clearly intentional and that made me excited for future books by this author.
Note / spice content: very gory / violent check CW if you have concerns ; fade to black.
This is one of the best sequels I have read in a while! I devoured this book granted I tried to stall until the end just so I could hold off on finishing.
The story picked up in a good starting point. Being able to see how Valerie grows through her struggles of how her life has changed and seeing the emotional impact of what it’s like being a mother.
I loved how we also got Theo’s pov and some history that shook me to my core. Seeing how he struggles and overcomes his self doubt to become the man he needs to be.
Throwing in the history of Cyrus was the icing on the cake!
Thank you for keeping us on our toes and providing this amazing part of Valerie and Theo’s story.
The ending is exactly what I needed and as I mentioned, loved the ninja turtle reference.
Looking forward to more of your stories and ready to dive in!
-found family -spice free, second chance romance -portal fantasy Honored to have read an arc copy! So good - loved it even more than the first! Beautiful writing. Well thought out storylines with surprises and twists revealed at perfect times! Just when I thought maybe something would drag, it would pick up and i’d be completely enraptured. The ending wrapped everything up well, which I love. I loved Theo’s journey and the subtle mental health themes with it. And Valerie’s determination was admirable through the whole thing. And I appreciated how her relationship with Leo grew as the book continued and she healed from her past. Also, well written side characters that you grow to love! And some gut-wrenching moments as well. Cyrus’ chapters were insightful and not too long that I got bored of them.
Romance: implied intimacy but not detailed Language: I don’t remember any
Yo! Like this book, put me through it. Just 🫠🫠
So many little hits I either didn’t see coming or was just starting to figure out when it was sprung on me. The ending 🤌🏻 seeing the healing in Theo ❤️. Was such a good book. Feel so honored to be able to do an ARC for it. I wouldn’t recommend it as a story for anyone younger the 16, just because some of the things that Theo goes through/does could potentially be hard for them depending on sensitivity level. But it’s well done and needed for the story line.
I love how Book 1 was Val finding herself. Book 2 was Theo finding his way back to himself. Val’s determination and love for Theo really shows in this book. There was also plot twists that had my jaw dropping! This book is a fade to black, no foul language, there is gore and blo0d. The one issue I had was Cyrus’s younger years. There were mentions of sexual feelings, looks, and then knowing it happened. No explicit details. I just felt like he was too young to need to know those things. I also felt weird reading those parts. If those pieces were missing, this would have made the book even better.
I have to be SO honest - I was so upset after I finished book 1 and there wasn’t a second book out yet. When I was finally able to sit and read the second book, I was so excited with the results! I did feel that the beginning dragged on for a while, but once I hit like 40% through, I had such a hard time being able to put it down! I loved the different POVs, being able to understand some backstory of characters we hadn’t thought about. It was a great tie-in with the first book!! Maybe a little long, but it wrapped up stories well :)
3.85 ⭐️ rounded up. Great book, it’s a little darker than the first with some heavy lore to go through, as well as present day physical and mental trauma. Great descriptive writing. Love the multiple POV. Liked getting Cyrus’s POV as well….although I felt like we practically got more romance from Cyrus’s twisted backstory than between the main FMC & MMC?! (Or is that just me) - with that said, I loved Valerie’s determination to fight for the man she loves, and im pleased with how the story wraps up. Worth reading if you’ve started the duology!
Oh man, what a wild ride. I thought the first book was packed with adventure and twists and turns. This book was just as full and truly amazing. What I love about Aubrey’s books are the adventures, the swooning and the overcoming spirit at all costs. The unconditional love theme intertwined with a dystopian society. If you’re looking for an amazing fantasy like adventure without the smut this is for you!! A must read!!

Let me say this, if you love yearning, morally grey MMCs, deliciously devious villains and fierce FMCs please please read this series! This was just the best sequel I have read in a while. Usually sequels just feel stagnant and boring but ugh it was like book one all over again. I won’t give too much away since this is book two but ughhhh I love Theo so much. Such a great character. And a special shout out to my mans Cyrus. I love you but I hate you! Iykyk
