"When reading Between by Mary Ting, you feel that you are immediately wrapped up in Angel wings and taken for the flight of your life. At times you feel like you might fall but then your back up in the clouds feeling Heavenly again. This sophomore novel delivers everything that makes a book Great: Romance: check, Action: check and even heartache: check plus I can't forget to mention about those swoon-worthy Angels! Between will leave you on a celestial high!"

Mary Ting has done it again! She has written a beautifully romantic and suspenseful tale of forbidden love. Micheal and Claudia's passion in Between will leave you breathless and wanting more.

A heart pounding sequel to Crossroads, Between is as perplexing, intense and endearing as the first. Where love is the reason for everything; readers are bound to get sucked into the supernatural world that Mary has created.
Most people know that "angel" books are the last books I'd even choose to pick up- honestly they just never interested me and I always felt as though even if majority of the people loved the book, I didn't. So I chose not to read about angels. But when I read the summary for...more
Between is the second installment of Crossroads Saga by Miss Mary Ting.
If you love the first book then you'll love the second one even more because everything has been upgraded! More Romance, More Action, More Angst!
I'm actually amazed at how Ms. Mary Ting wrote this book. The flow of the story is even better than the last one. It's even more exciting and a lot sexier. In here, we see how Claudia and Michael struggles because of their forbidden love. Knowing that they will be separated someday t...more

The world Mary has created from her dreams has sucked me in and made me feel a part of it! I LOVE the characters. She has made me feel as if they are my best friends! On the outside, Claudia looks and acts like your typical teenage girl, but unknowingly, she is really so much more! This is what you are going to find with many of Mary's characters, that there is so much more to know!

I actually enjoyed this book a lot more than the first! Claudia spends a lot of time with Austin and I love him! All my suspicions about him from the first book were true. We find out his secrets and I won't spoil things but he is a good guy and helps Claudia. I found him hilarious and very charming. Michael is sweet but I just feel like Austin has a more fun and outgoing personality. I really enjoy his scenes. There were still plenty of Michael scenes where he showered Claudia with love and gif...more
REVIEWED by Louise for Between the Covers blog:
Between, the sequel to Crossroads (read my review HERE), returns us to the vivid world Mary Ting has created. We find Claudia trying to live her life, trying to be a “normal” teen in a world that she has learned is anything but. (Side note to Claudia... Normal is soooo last year. Embrace your inner uniqueness, young padawan!)
Okay... I have to say this. *mumbles and says really quickly* There were parts of Crossroads that moved a little slow for me....more

This is even better than Crossroads. Mary really knows how to develop her characters. I was really surprised I enjoyed this so much. There have been so many books in this genre, I thought I would feel like "been there, done that" but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. You will laugh and cry. Usually in these YA novels, the girls in this story are wussy or are so "poor me" and homely and life is just going along with nothing special. Then comes this amazing guy who is so perfect. I liked that Claudi...more
In a battle of good versus evil, where even the good angels may be tempted by love and power, Mary Ting has done it again! Her newest release, Between, from her Crossroads Saga is fresh, unlike many other angel stories I've ever read. I was drawn in by the beautiful love story between a Claudia and her guardian angel, Michael, in her first book, and the chemistry continued to build between them in this one. This is a powerful, moving story. The mystery of Claudia, who is hunted by dark powers, p...more
Oh My Wings!!!!! What an awesome follow up to Crossroads. I absolutley LOVED this book. There is so much action and emotion throughout. I enjoyed getting to know some new characters, but really loved getting to hang out with my favorites. WOW!!! I have not felt such intense feelings in a long time for a book. I wanted to yell and scream during some parts and cried like a baby at others. I was sad when I finished it beacause I did not want it to end!! I really miss these people when I'm not readi...more
Between introduces you to new characters, new creatures and new dangers. Everything you learned about Claudia, Crossroads, and the World Mary Ting created gets tossed in the air. Love is in question. Trust is debatable. No one is safe. It is an enchanting nail-biter that will leave you breathless from the exquisite cover to the thrilling end.

Wow, I love this book. Mary Ting did really good job.
In Between, she introduces us with few new characters, and ofcourse new worlds.
Claudia, the main girl, is not so safe anymore. Every girl with the same name as her, is getting killed. But what happens?
Who wants her special soul? And Who will protect her?
The second book isn't released yet and I'm already waiting for third book!

In Between Claudia finally finds a new found strength in herself and cant just set back and be the helpless target of he fallen, lucky for her she has a group of alkins ( half angel-half human) that have her back...more

They’d all breathed a sigh of relief when Aden was destroyed.
Little did they know what else had been sprung from hell, and awaits his turn at annihilating all that is good.
Aliah, one of the most powerful demons ever to reside in the Abyss, has friends in high places, which is not good for the denizens of the high realms, or the mortals they watch over. He now rules the plane known as Between, from which he sends his minions to look for a certain Claudia Emerson. He knows, as did Ad...more

“Between” is a highly intriguing and complex novel, the sequel to “Crossroads.” Unfortunately I had not yet read “Crossroads,” but fortunately “Between” gives sufficient backstory and descriptive setting that I was able to immediately become involved in its story line.

I have to say this is my first angel book so the concept took a bit longer for me to comprehend. I did not read the first book so I was a bit lost to start with too but I quickly was brought up to speed and boy, did we have some drama taking place here. Claudia was like the center of attention but I thought she handled it ever well and Michael was a bit too much for me. Meaning, he was a bit too slow on the draw for me, for someone who was supposed to be protecting her, he didn’t seem like he to...more
Because Claudia has a ‘special’ soul she is wanted by everyone; for their own reasons, so the Divine Elders have made arrangements to keep her safe. Whisked away into a safe house where even Michael can’t sense her, Claudia has to learn to trust her captor and accept that he is there to protect her like her grandmother wanted. Claudia soon starts to weaken where Austin is concerned and when a mystery woman from Michaels past appears on the scene things become even more complicated for the pair a...more

Between by Mary Ting is a second book in The Crossroads Saga and it starts out where Crossroads ends. I was delighted by Crossroads and was very happy that I could continue reading Between right after finishing Crossroads. It’s always interesting to see, how the author is developing the story and if the author is capable of living up to the expectations. My expectations were very high because I really loved Crossroads.
