 A special thank you to Netgalley and Penguin Group Putnam for the Arc in exchange for an honest review!

Morbidly Yours is a killer debut romance novel from Ivy Fairbanks. This book has a little bit of everything, opposites attract, friends to lovers + killer romantic tension. Also lets take a moment to appreciate the stunner cover which was the main reason why I requested the book!

Callum and Lark are characters that win your heart over the instant you meet them. As singular characters and as a couple! I think this experience is so rare in books, which just made me appreciate the authors talent in making such likable characters.

As a sucker for slow burn romances, this book was so addicting. Every time I flipped the page, I was craving even more from these characters and when they finally got together, it was so incredibly sweet.

Lets talk about these characters!

Callum Flannelly is an introverted irish undertaker determined to inherit his grandfathers funeral home. The one problem is... he must marry to inherit the family business.

Enters Lark Thompson, your extroverted sunshine gal who has recently moved in next door to a funeral home, while she's in Ireland for a job position as an Animator and Cartoon creator (And actively running from her past).

Together Lark and Callum form a friendship to aid Callum in finding the perfect woman and help Callum inherit the business.

Oh, what could possibly go wrong with that?

If you enjoy slow burns and a good friends to lovers contemporary romance book, this is the perfect book for you!

P.S. Callum is such a precious hidden gem. He deserves all the hype. He is my aesexual king (who dirty talks in irish ;)

Cannot wait to see what else Ivy Fairbanks has in store for us next!
