Mercy is an undertaker, taking over her dad's job after a heart attack and while waiting while his younger brother is ready to take over. Hart is a marshall who hunts creatures that are basically zombies. The two hate each other's guts, but sometimes they are forced to work together when Hart has to bring the zombies bodies to Mercy's establishment. However, one night Hart writes a letter without an address, and it gets delivered to Mercy. The two starts writing to each other without knowing their true identities.
In this magical world where gods and demigods are real, Mercy and Hart need to deal with their heritage, and they need to open up their feelings if they want a shot at happiness.
The story is kind of macabre, and the writing didn't pull me into the book as I would have expected. The world-building was great, but at the same time I found some aspects quite confusing.

I went and put the second book on hold before I even started this one, thinking it's probably going to be so good, I'm gonna wanna read it...yeah...about that...I'm not seeing what you guys are seeing, sorry.
From chapter 1 I knew this wasn't going to be for me, because of the way Hart sexualised Mercy, but I stuck with it, thinking maybe the story would be interesting. It was not.
I was honestly bored, and the characters acting like teenagers instead of people in their 30s only made it worse. I literally thought this was a YA romance until I learned their ages and was like "WHAT???". Hart in particular doesn't act like a 36 year old.
The world building was kind of confusing, but maybe that's due to the audiobook, I'm not sure. Half the time I didn't know what was going on, I didn't like the romance or the characters, and I won't be reading the next book.
