The Undercutting of Rosie and Adam

By Megan Bannen

Book Overview

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.

A sweet end

A sweet third book to finish up all the adventures in the land of Tanria! Rosie is sure a fun character, all 6 foot 5 inches of her, complete with a fancy taste in intimates and a lighthearted view on life, despite the fact that she is a bit down on the fact that she must live forever (thanks to her dad's Trickster god genes). Despite that, she does deserve a chance at love and so I am happy to have read all about it, even with the vine that seems to be growing all over Tanria and there is a race to stop and and get through the portals before it is too late. And I absolutely love Duckers who is a great side character and also deserves a happy ever after all the trauma in this book with vines, exes, good food, and dragon riding (I was surprised to learn that dragon snot is glitterfied!) Lots of humor and good times though, plus a sweet romance the grows slower than the vine but is heartwarming between Adam and Rosie and the ending that I loved but did get me tearing up. This was a fun book to read, and even though I am sad it will be the last one, I did enjoy getting to spend just a little longer in Tanria and the ending is simply wonderful! A good last book in a very fun trilogy with old gods, new gods, a magical land that was once a prison, and all the interesting people that live and work in it. I wish every happiness on Adam and Rosie who definitely deserve it!
