Riley
Trying to keep my familiar out of the meat display while shopping is the hardest part of my day… until someone drops a god right into my humdrum existence.
Torin, a massive man claiming to be a god, is unlike anyone I’ve ever met. He insists on learning English through adult graphic novels, believes the pizza delivery guy is an assassin, and thinks he can kick a subway into submission (talk about adding a bit of spice to my life, which has been sadly lacking since I left the Magical Interference Unit).
The handsome and strangely charismatic god drags me (literally) right into his problems, starting with a creature who wants to tear my head off, yet I find myself following along with his whims.
He knows something is wrong when Doors to another realm begin to open up, allowing an ominous power to get a foothold in our world… but I’m afraid this quirky god and I might be the only ones keeping this world from ending.
Oh joy.
Torin
I never expected that simply stepping through a Door into Riley’s world would introduce me to so many amazing curiosities, like pizza and burritos! Oh, and a pesky human who really should recognize that I’m a god of war and love—emphasis on the love.
But there’s more to Riley than meets the eye; why else would their special forces place me with a man who can borrow magic from others? My attempts to woo this mystifying human are thwarted at every turn (I doubt that has anything to do with me tossing him on a horse or taking over his bed).
As Riley and I grow closer, I realize that he might be the very person needed to save this realm… because what is coming for them is beyond anything they can comprehend… one even worse than the atrocity called an “escalator.”
Fractured Doors and Forgotten Gods is the first book in a series that has a continuing storyline.
©2026 Alice Winters (P)2026 Alice WintersI especially enjoyed Riley and Torin. Both characters felt layered and sympathetic as more of their histories and struggles were revealed. Their growing connection developed naturally, and I appreciated that they were not only powerful but also thoughtful and caring.
The supporting cast added a lot of charm to the story, with Mickey being a particular standout. Alice Winters has always had a talent for creating memorable side characters, and this book continues that trend.
I also felt this novel struck a better balance between humor and plot than some of the author's more recent works. The comedy was still present, but it never overshadowed the story or emotional moments. The portal fantasy elements, mystery, and worldbuilding kept things feeling fresh and exciting.
Greg Boudreaux did an excellent job with the narration, bringing personality and emotion to every character and making the audiobook highly enjoyable.
A promising beginning to a new series, and I'm looking forward to the next installment.
