the undertaking of hart and mercy megan bannen

I mean, who wouldn't? Even so, Mercy was very well written, she was pretty complex as a character, strong-willed, and I don't know of any other character that could actually make the position of undertaker (mortician) look cool. Also, she has a dog and I'll love anyone with a dog. Sure she's the protagonist, she's supposed to be lovable, and in this case, cute.

These are the only reasons this book didn't get 5 ⭐ because other than that it was excellent. Also, the male love interest, Hart, was a little too obsessed with his female counterpart's boobs, in my opinion. For example, while the writing was mostly great and very intelligent, it could be a little cringy at times. BUT, there were some minor things that didn't really impress me. Excellent romance and world-building, extremely likeable and relatable characters, solid plot and subplots.

It's the little things in life, right? 😍😍 For the most part, I found this story terrific. Not to mention its additional grumpy x sunshine trope that I also find delightful and have been reading a lot of lately. It was humorous, sweet, emotional, and delightfully romantic in that specific haters-to-lovers trope kind of way. The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy may have a pretty simple yet straightforward plot, but its execution was very well done. Another blessing is that I deeply enjoyed all three of these ARCs even if they weren't all 5 ⭐ reads. I don't know how I managed to pick three different ARCs, all of them great, and all of them including adorable pet dogs that made the stories 100x better. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: Various depictions of death⚠️ ❗ This is a spoiler-free ARC review from NetGalley❗ I feel very strongly that you deserve a friend more worthy of you than I am in reality. Set in a world full of magic and demigods, donuts and small-town drama, this enchantingly quirky, utterly unique fantasy is perfect for readers of The House in the Cerulean Sea and The Invisible Library. But can their blossoming romance survive the fated discovery that their pen pals are their worst nightmares-each other?

As the dangers from Tanria grow closer, so do the unlikely correspondents. If only Hart knew he’s been baring his soul to the person who infuriates him most-Mercy. Much to his surprise, an anonymous letter comes back in return, and a tentative friendship is born. She’s been single-handedly keeping Birdsall & Son Undertakers afloat in defiance of sullen jerks like Hart, who seems to have a gift for showing up right when her patience is thinnest.Īfter yet another exasperating run-in with Mercy, Hart finds himself penning a letter addressed simply to “A Friend”. It’s an unforgiving job, and Hart’s got nothing but time to ponder his loneliness. Hart is a marshal, tasked with patrolling the strange and magical wilds of Tanria.
