Description
Hart is a marshal, tasked with patrolling the strange and magical wilds of Tanria. It’s an unforgiving job, and Hart’s got nothing but time to ponder his loneliness.
Mercy never has a moment to herself. She’s been single-handedly keeping Birdsall & Son Undertakers afloat in defiance of sullen jerks like Hart, who seems to have a gift for showing up right when her patience is thinnest.
After yet another exasperating run-in with Mercy, Hart finds himself penning a letter addressed simply to “A Friend”. Much to his surprise, an anonymous letter comes back in return, and a tentative friendship is born.
If only Hart knew he’s been baring his soul to the person who infuriates him most – Mercy. As the dangers from Tanria grow closer, so do the unlikely correspondents. But can their blossoming romance survive the fated discovery that their pen pals are their worst nightmares – each other?

I have no words. This book is easily one of my top two books of the year. This was the most surprising and weird book I have ever enjoyed. The amount of emotion that can be felt between the lines of this book is off the charts. I laughed so hard, I cried uncontrollably, my face hurt from smiling, the wrinkles on forehead deepened from anger. I felt the full gambit of emotions. It was everything I didn't know I needed.
