Jules and her father are behind on their rent and low on hours.
Who can you trust when everyone has the face of an Angel? Angels, Demons, Guardians, brooding guys with green eyes - 18-year-old Grace is sick of the lot of them.

As the threads of her life begin to unravel, Grace finds herself at the epicenter of a battle to save those she loves.
Fiery redhead Stella Stonewall can't decide between a margarita and a manhattan. The rest of her life? Please. Stella has never really fit in, and her pretty world comes crashing down when she learns it was never her world at all. Rowan Gresham is domineering, brooding, and as sexy as chocolate-dipped sin. When he transports Stella to the magical realm of her parents, she recognizes her rightful place immediately. Gresham's motivations are less clear.
Just when correctional nurse October Grace has a handle on her stressful job and taking care of her mentally ill mother, a shape-shifting warrior and a half-vampire plunge her into a foreign land that's on the brink of starvation. Now, with a ticking clock and a target on her back, October takes up the mantle of becoming one of the rare Omens who can bring hope to a dying world.

Mack might be, to all intents and purposes, a normal looking human, but she lives with a pack of shapeshifters in Cornwall in rural England after being dumped there by her mother when she was just a young child. She desperately wants to be accepted by her surrogate family, not least because a lot of them hate her for merely being human, but for some reason her blood just won't allow the transformation to occur.

Six words that propel ice-hockey-playing tomboy Arizona into an alternate dimension.
She suddenly finds herself living the life of a glamorous cheerleader. She finds herself transported from her happy life with her dad to living with the mother she hates. Everyone knows her as Arizona Darley, but she isn't. She is Arizona Stevens.
As she struggles to find answers she is certain of two things - that her mother is somehow responsible, and that she wants to go back home to her real life. That's until she meets Kellan...
Portal is the first book of the Portal Chronicles.
I have the series on kindle and was looking forward to listening to it but I wasn't impressed by the music in fact it spoiled it for me and you could have found a better narrator, it is only my opinion, I do like the story
I have loved listening to this book I have read the series an cant wait for the rest to come out on audible
The narrator made this a tough read. Love the books but the narrator's inflections and accents are pretty terrible, the worse being the valley girl accent. I love this series but cannot go on if they don't change to a more seasoned narrator.

Portal is a very good book. However, it was difficult for me to listen to the woman reading it. I just didn't care for her voice. That did not take away from the book itself tho and I did enjoy the book.

I have read this book series over and over again! I absolutely love this story! When I got the opportunity to listen to the audio version of it I was super stoked! The performance was amazing, and brought out a whole other feeling to the story for me. I can't wait until the other books are on here so I can listen to those as well!

It started off as a promising idea, the first few chapters, even the original song, I really like the dreamy quality of it. Then, it just falls apart, I felt like just when the main character would try to tackle something important, she'd just get distrated by the most mundane situations - choosing clothes, walking the dog, etc. The dialogues are terrible, I can't imagine a teenager, particularly the guys, talking like that. The ending and parts of the story are just too confusing to follow. It feels like such a waste of a good concept.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A different narrator and a little more to the story. It felt all over the place and too much attention was given to the littlest detail.
Would you ever listen to anything by Imogen Rose again?
Maybe but I'd have to know that it was better than this.
What didn’t you like about Sue Leib Bernstein and Lauren Tate ’s performance?
I liked the narrator who did the little girl but the main narrator was awful. I hate giving bad reviews and rarely do but honestly, it was painful to listen to her. She made all the teens sound like they were from the movie Clueless!!! It was unrealistic.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No, not really.

I found Portal to be confusing at times and a little boring. No desire to listen to the next book.
The book was interesting enough, if confusing at times, but the narrator ruined it.
What a fantastic audio book, I loved this story when I read it on ebook and to finally be able to have the story read to me on audio took this book to a whole new level.
The accents in this book were refreshing and it was so well spoken I could understand the story well.
If you haven't read Portal its a must time travel is something we have all thought about and to have it all twisted in to this story of love and those famous words
Come Find Me Two Years Ago and those words took my breath away and I was taken by this book and series and I was never putting down until I had read every book.
Imogen is a wonderful Author with an amazing mind and has done a fantastic job with the Portal Audible.
