Adventure. It's what my boring life is missing, so when I fall through a portal into another world, I'm excited. Here, I'm important. Here, I'm special.

I find out just how special when I meet Death. He's been exiled to the mortal realm to work through his flaws, and he's just as spoiled and awful as you'd think. Rhagos, the Shadow Lord, is arrogant and rude and controlling and demands to get his way. He's selfish. He's impossible.

He's also utterly gorgeous. Magnetic. Lonely. And strangely protective of me.

Thanks to a magic bond, I now serve him as his anchor to the mortal realm. It means that I'm his conscience, his guide...and the target for any assassin or glory-seeker. After a few days of this, I'd rather go home than continue on this adventure.

As the world falls down around us and we're hunted simply for existing, I find myself wondering what it'd be like to serve the lonely god of death...in all ways. To kiss him. To touch him. To bed him.

Except...I'm supposed to be finding a way home, not trying to kiss Rhagos. No matter how tempting he is. No matter how much he stares at my lips. No matter how much I want it.

Contains mature themes.

I loved the storyline and the readers did a great job. Only thing that kind of worked my nerves was the constant mentioning of her small chest. It didn't add to the story. The God made the request when setting up his plan to find an anchor to love but once the anchor was selected maybe mentioning she didn't have a large chest one or two would have been enough.

A good listen.

I guess you can call this a slow burn but I love the romance build up and the twist and turns she takes you through. Also love the new world she builds and the main character for me is really relatable and finally a girl who isn’t completely boring or unrealistically beautiful and courageous 🤣.

One of the best books I have read in 2023

I loved Aron in the first book. Personality, some humanity, complexity. Funny and interesting. Rhagos is very one-note. It’s hard to stay engaged. And Max… Max is no Faith. Max is whiney and also one-note. Literally one of the quotes is “I want to help them. I want to help everyone”…. Booooring. For a gamer, she has no grasp on this world. I would’ve expected her to be a little stronger and less of the “I want everyone to be happy and I have to save everyone” type. I’m struggling to finish but will do my best to complete bc Ruby Dixon is a goddess.

Ruby Dixon is legendary.. this one is kinda meh

This was a very good Book 2 in the series—22 hours of pure enjoyment! I’m already diving into the next one. The narration was great, even though it switched narrators from Book 1—both did a fantastic job bringing the story to life.

The story itself is a wild ride: a bored heroine falls through a portal into another world and suddenly matters—especially to Rhagos, the arrogant, gorgeous god of death she’s magically bound to. She becomes his anchor, his conscience, and unfortunately, a prime target. Between danger, sizzling tension, and unexpected loyalty, their journey is equal parts thrilling adventure and slow-burn chemistry.

Fell Through a Portal… Oops
