Heartless King by Maya Hughes

4.0

Okay, so I usually am not a fan of pregnancy tropes, but this one had me clutching my heart wishing for a little bit of a breather because of how incredibly sweet, heart wrenching and crazy the story goes.

Both Colm and Imogen are characters in this series that have had - quite literally - the worst set of hands dealt to them time and time again. But, at the same time, they both do what they can to own up to the responsibilities that they have - whether placed on them out of own personal choice, or out of means of distraction from what is happening in life.

Death is such an intense thing for someone to have on their life - whether it’s death of a family, a loved one, or a friend. Imogen and Colm are both tainted by death, tainted by not thinking they’re worthy of happiness or anything that makes their heart jump. But together, they forget about the pain, the heart ache and just welcome love with open arms.

10/10 book that just had me zone out and really focus on it.
