Synopsis (Goodreads):

Though she was raised by a survivalist, Alice was not prepared to be ripped from her dimension and dropped without ceremony into the massive junkyard of a parallel dimension.

She’s wounded, alone, and lost in a world her mind struggles to comprehend. When a strange, four-armed alien comes to her aid, saving her life, she has no choice but to accept his help.

She finally starts growing comfortable around her leonine companion, until another warrior intervenes to save her when creatures from the Dead Fall attack them during their exploration, making everything much more complicated.

Alice still doesn’t understand what either of the warriors is saying, and if she can’t find the right words to soothe her beastly new protectors, they’ll end up killing each other.

Thoughts on Into the Dead Fall: I'm always on the lookout for sci-fi romance with out of the ordinary world-building and I think I found a gem with this book. The Dead Fall is weird and dangerous and not the type of place a (mostly) normal girl from Earth can survive in on her own.

AND I LOVED IT.

So. Alice. She's got some survival skills and they definitely come in handy, but it's Iyaren's honorable streak and his badass fortress that makes the difference. Well, that, and her growing feelings for him. Iyaren gives her the chance to heal after the damaging arrival at Dead Fall and his kindness and strength give her a reason to think she might have a future on this alien world.

Of course, Iyaren is from a very different culture and his inability to communicate with Alice leads to a few misunderstandings. Still, his honor and HIS growing feelings for her smooths over those rough spots.

Then Tak comes into the picture and things get a little more complicated. Because Iyaren and Tak are enemies of a sort and it takes a while before they realize they're going to have to work together if they want to keep Alice both safe and happy.

And, BOY, is she happy with those two looking after her.

I LIKE. And I'm definitely raising my hand for the next book in this series.
