Summary: (from goodreads) As the alkins head back to Crossroads, Claudia leads her normal life; but not for long. Having a special soul, Claudia attracts danger, and she soon finds out who Gamma asked to watch over her. The Twelve, known as Divine Elders on Earth, are very much involved when they find out that Aliah, one of the God’s first angels, escaped from the Abyss when the gates were opened by Aden. Needing Claudia’s soul to escape the only place Aliah can reside–a place between Heaven and Earth–he sends his demons in search of all Claudia Emersons on Earth. Taking her soul will enable him to be released from Between and cross over to Crossroads, which would give him immense power. As more secrets are revealed Claudia learns about the venators—nephilim, demon hunters. Now two opposing forces must work together in order to save Claudia and humanity from the most dangerous angel ever created. But along the way, trust becomes a big issue. Will love be enough to keep Claudia and Michael together? Who will make the ultimate sacrifice? Who will betray them all?

"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!"

Between continues where Crossroads left off with Claudia going back to live her normal life. Of course you know that will never happen, since Claudia really isn't that normal to begin with. Claudia has attracted quite a few followers who want her. Demons are on the hunt for Claudia and they are stopping at nothing to find her. Several Claudia Emerson are disappearing, they have yet to truly find the true Claudia though. Once again Claudia dives head first into the world of Angels and their ongoing battles. She learns of new secrets and Venators. Michael and Claudia will come to a seriously big bump in the road that will just just take your breath away when you read it. OK I could go on and on describing parts of the book, but I just can't I feel that it will spoil this book plus some of the 1st in the series for those who haven't read it. I don't think my opinion has steered anyone wrong yet.

This is a love story you don't want to not be reading! Between will teach us what it truly means to love one selflessly. I (Yara) can not wait for the third book in the series. If you like a intense plot line with a pure love story, then look no further!
