About this audiobook
When you get up in the morning, the last thing you expect to see is a murdered guy hanging outside your window. Things like that tend to draw the attention of the local police, and when yo're squatting in your parents' old house until you can afford to buy it, another thing you can't afford is the attention of the cops.
Oh yeah. Hi. My name is Pet.
It's not my real name, but it's the only one you're getting. Things like names are important these days.
And it's not so much that I'm Pet.
I am a pet.
A human pet: I belong to the two Behindkind fae and the pouty vampire who just moved into my house. It's not weird, I promise-well, it is weird, yeah. But it's not weird weird, you know?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Gingell is a fabulous storyteller and how awesome to have the story told by a true down-under accent
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I read most of these books in one gulp in April and I enjoyed it so much more than I’d expected to!I'd read a chapter or so of Between Jobs last year. My reaction was Oh, heck NO.Our narrator is a seventeen year old girl who has been squatting in the house in which her parents were murdered four years earlier; she has a cafe job and an ill-tempered boss who doesn’t care that she’s underage or underpaid. And then a neighbour is gruesomely-murdered and three strange “psychos” -- two fae and a vampire -- move into her house. I hadn’t even got to the part where they decide she’s going to be their pet. Ugh.But I decided to give it another go because I liked Gingell’s other stories and because there’s not really a lot of urban fantasy set in Australia. Once I got past the opening, with its tales of murder, the worldbuilding of the world between intrigued me. That’s what I remember most vividly about this book. The places.I still wasn’t sure what I thought about Pet’s “psychos” or the fact that they call her Pet, but I was willing to reserve judgement until I’d read more. “It’s a matter of seeing things in the right way,” Athelas said, shrugging. “And the human who can see things in the right way to access Between would be a very rare human. I can only imagine the mess it might cause, and as a whole, the Fae are only inclined to approve of mess when it’s their own doing.” “What do you mean, seeing things in the right way?” “Don’t teach the pet bad habits,” said Zero briefly, making me jump. For a bloke as big as he is, he could move as silently as JinYeong; he was already in the kitchen. “I haven’t decided that we’re keeping it, and it’ll be a nuisance to wipe its memories.”
