Betwixt

By: Darynda Jones

Narrated by: Traci Odom

Divorced, desperate, and destitute, former restaurateur Defiance Dayne finds out she has been bequeathed a house by a complete stranger. She is surprised, to say the least, and her curiosity gets the better of her. She leaves her beloved Phoenix and heads to one of the most infamous towns in America: Salem, Massachusetts.



She's only there to find out why a woman she's never met would leave her a house, a veritable castle that has seen better days. The lawyer assigned to the case practically begs her to take it off her hands, mostly because she's scared of it. The inanimate structure that, as far as Dephne can tell, has never hurt a fly.



Though it does come with some baggage. A pesky neighbor who wants her gone. A scruffy cat who's a bit of a jerk. And a handyman bathed in ink who could moonlight as a supermodel for GQ.



She decides to give it three days, and not because of the model. She feels at home in Salem. Safe. But even that comes to a screeching halt when people begin knocking on her door day and night, begging for her help to locate their lost objects.



Come to find out, they think she's a witch. And after a few mysterious mishaps, Dephne is beginning to wonder if they're right.©2020 Darynda Jones

What I hoped for

I didn’t know what to expect with this one. I listened to all the other Darynda books on audible and was hoping the same quirky, seductive fun was in this one. I was not disappointed. The cliffhanger has me at the edge of my seat. The narrator is new to be but did a phenomenal job! I will be listening to the next in the series!

So....it’s ok...

I loved Darynda’s Charlie Davidson series. However, after awhile it can get a bit dull but I loved the characters so much I didn’t mind and finished the series. This series seems to be a bit too similar to that one though. You have the sarcastic main character and cooky best friend. As well as dark and brooding male love interest. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still worth a listen but I’m hoping the next book has more excitement. I still love Darynda and think she’s an amazing author though.

Love

So funny I have all been a darynda fan and books like this is why I started with Charlie Davidson and this will definitely be my 2nd favorite so much humor and always sexy man and awesome BFF love her books I hope this whole series is on audible I just wish that Lorelei king narrated this one I just love her voice but don’t get me wrong traci Odem does a good job I just love Lorelei more

Great Series 5/5

I met Darynda Jones, as an author, with her Charley Davidson series. It was excellent—I couldn’t wait for the next book from book 1 to 13 and novellas too. Thank you

Now I am reintroduced D.J. with Betwixt & Between. I have read Books 1, 2, & 3---I am excited and waiting for the next book again. This series is so much fun—A hoot to listen to.
Tarci Odom is now the voice of Betwixt & Between for me—she has done an excellent job and I hope continues to do so.

I will purchase, enjoy and want more of this series

Thank you Darynda Jones—Keep them coming!

Engrossing

I found myself gently pulled into a crazy world full of unreal occurrences. The writing is not without flaws but nothing jarring that isn’t quickly overlooked or forgotten. The characters are interesting and I want to hear more about them and their adventures
