About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Addictive, brilliantly written and utterly irresistible,
The Book of Doors is a spell-binding, mind-bending, heart-pounding new adventure that is perfect for fans of The Binding, The Midnight Library and A Discovery of Witches . . .

Because some doors should never be opened.

New York bookseller Cassie Andrews is not sure what she’s doing with her life. She lives quietly, sharing an apartment with her best friend, Izzy. Then a favourite customer gives her an old book. Full of strange writing and mysterious drawings, at the very front there is a handwritten message:

This is the Book of Doors. Hold it in your hand, and any door is every door.

Cassie is about to discover that the Book of Doors is a special book – a magic book. A book that bestows extraordinary abilities on whoever possesses it. And she is about to learn that there are other magic books out there that can also do wondrous – or dreadful and terrifying – things.

Because where there is magic there is power and there are those who will stop at nothing to possess it.

Suddenly Cassie and Izzy are confronted by violence and danger, and the only person who can help them is Drummond Fox who has a secret library of magical books hidden in the shadows for safekeeping, a man fleeing his own demons. Because there is a nameless evil out there that is hunting them all . . .

Because this book is worth killing for.

Absolutely loved this book. The story was unique and submersible, there was no waffling, lagging or downtime it was fast paced and brilliant. This needs to be a book series and a tv show or movie.

Absolutely obsessed with The Book of Doors, it definitely scratched the itch left by books that had you completely immersed in their world like Harry Potter and the hunger games. Devastated when it ended! Such a wonder tale of magic. Must read!

The best thing since Harry Potter!

I was torn between not wanting to put this down and not wanting it to end. Wonderful original story, well paced with enough twists and turns to be engaging. Would love to see it adapted into a movie or series.

Original and absorbing

I usually don’t read books set in our world. But thought I’d give this one a try and I’m glad I did. The story is not as straight forward as you’re led to believe. Gripping twists, turns and an adventure across time.

Love, loss and the reality that you don’t always get what you want. But what time allows.

Highly recommend.

Gripping, thrilling and full of adventure
