Why did I love this book?
The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy was unlike anything I've ever read. It was a fantasy mixed with a romance, doused in comedy but with a good helping of "feels."
Seriously… I'm not sure there was an emotion this book didn't hit me with. I listened to the audiobook, and the narration was fantastic, but I loved it so much I'm going to grab myself a physical copy as well.
Hart is a demigod who hunts reanimated bodies. Since his business is death, he sees a lot of Mercy, who runs her father's undertaking business, whether he wants to or not. Mercy despises Hart. He's too tall, too smug, too grumpy…but she can also admit he's delicious.
Whether or not you're into fantasy, if you love romance and adventure, get your hands on Hart and Mercy!
