The Unbeating Heart by Cyran Faringray
5.0
I’ve read this book twice and I still can’t adequately put into words what this book did to me. First and foremost it is deliciously violent. It’s a polyamorous relationship with a necromancer, a demon, and their human toy to start with, so please don’t go in expecting sunshine and sweet nothings. It’s HOT AF. Wingspan takes on a whole different meaning. IYKYK, okay. This is about to be such an incoherent review, but basically if you like dark romance with a plot that keeps you on your toes, read this book!!!
Alrighty now into my unhinged word vomit.
THE LAST LINE, are you fckn kidding me?!?! I’ve gone back to reread the last scene over and over, it hits the same every single time. I was ready to drop to the floor myself.
My mental health is directly related to Nyx and her happiness, if anything happens to her I will simply perish. Selene is well and truly a genuine enemies to lovers character arc. Without giving spoilers, I’m ready to see more of the intertwining of the relationship, there seems to be more than presently meets the eye.
Aside from the incredible writing with a story that draws you in from the beginning, you feel everything that this character feels. Honestly, at times I was ready to slam the book shut because I was so frustrated with the characters inner monologue in regards to her self consciousness/ timidness, however towards the end of the book the mental health aspects of the story came out in full force. Themes of stepping into who you are, outgrowing old friends, reevaluating the belief symptom we grew up with were saturating every page and as much as I related to Selene in these moments, I know that there are also so many people who could relate.
I’m excited to see more of the world building, history of the magic system, and the characters themselves in the books to follow. This easily became on of my top reads of the year and my new comfort read.
