I absolutely adored this book! Everything about it drew me in, the banter, the tension, the longing and the world itself was so interesting! The book follows Hart, a grumpy demigod who works as a police/military type of role, where the bad guys are souls that reanimate the dead (if they still have a normal appendix). Mercy is works with her father as an undertaker, preparing dead bodies for their last rites which puts her in constant contact with Hart as he lugs the deanimated corpses to the undertakers.

This book has everything, grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, miscommunication, anonymous letter writing, tension, angst, smut, a mystery, Magic used in unusual way, and a really cool world. It is a stand alone, but I saw that the author is going to write another book set in the same world and I'm so excited! It's too cool of a world to leave it to one book! I highly recommend you read this book before her next one comes out!
