Synopsis

From the author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy comes a new heartwarming fantasy rom-com with an opposites-attract twist set in the delightful, donut- and dragon-filled world of Tanria. 

Immortal demigod Rosie Fox has been patrolling Tanria for decades, but lately, the job has been losing its luster. When Rosie dies (again) by electrocution (again) after poking around inside a portal choked with shadowy thorns, she feels stuck in the rut that is her unending life.
 
The portal’s uptight creator, Adam Lee, must come in person to repair the damage. But when all the portals break down at once, Rosie and Adam wind up trapped inside the Mist. And the reticent inventor in his bespoke menswear seems to know a lot more about what’s happening than he lets on.
 
Maybe two people who have found themselves stuck in this thorny, tangled life together can find a way to unstick each other … just when their time on this earth seems to be running out.

Goodreads review by jenny reads a lot on June 13, 2025

4.25⭐️| TikTok | IG | This series is such a blast to read! A bit of mystery, a lot romance, a fun little world, + found family. I love that in all of these books the MCs have been a bit unconventional (for romance book standards). I think more authors should step outside the “tiny FMC + massive MMC”......more

Goodreads review by Booksblabbering || Cait❣️ on June 19, 2025

This one let me down. The time jumps between books just don’t work for me. I adored Hart and Mercy, then Twyla and Frank and the community around them, but in this book it almost becomes a locked door book in the sense that we have a small cast with not much movement… Normally this is great for found......more

3.75 ★— As someone that truly loved (and even cried a little during) my read of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy, the first book in this trilogy, I’m so happy that the final entry puts a lovely bow on this heartwarming series. Bannen keeps up the humorous and light tone she’s used throughout, with R......more

Goodreads review by Anna on June 15, 2025

I've read about 50 pages (15%) before calling it quits. I really wanted some tall fmc / short king romance, but this was tedious and annoying. First of all, we don't even meet the mmc yet in those 50 pages. Instead we're getting cameos from book 1 and book 2 and some random events like fmc's father......more

Goodreads review by Anniek on June 19, 2025

Confession: I was maybe even more invested in Pen and Zeddie's romantic arc than Rosie and Adam's. I've just adored them as side characters over the course of these three books, and it's been amazing watching their growth. That doesn't mean I didn't care about Rosie and Adam, though. I love character......more
