The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy
by Megan Bannen
The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance set in a fantastical world with reanimated corpses, demigods, and witty mythical creatures. One of the protagonists, Mercy, is struggling to keep her father’s undertaking business afloat. Our second protagonist, Hart, is a demigod who patrols for possessed corpses, killing them and delivering them to undertakers. The two start off loathing each other but a happy accident leads to them exchanging a series of anonymous letters. Through their blind correspondence, they get to know each other and form a deep connection. There are a few bumps along the way but eventually they realize who they’ve been writing to all along and sparks fly.
The protagonists and supporting characters were lovable, hilarious and compelling. Everyone felt like family—the town was like a magical Stars Hollow. I adored Hart and Mercy’s relationship, they had so much respect for one another and thoughtfully explore grief, love, life and death together. If you want swoon-worthy sweetness, passion and an intriguing fantasy world, this is the book for you and it’s out tomorrow!
