T.I.M.E. BOOK REVIEW
What are my favorite reasons for reading Adult Fantasy books? Let me count the ways... But my number one reason may be how reading the best fantasy novels stretches my brain to think beyond what I have become accustomed to.
You must throw away the rule book of what you know to be the standard rules for how we exist in this world — whether how our physical bodies work, our societal rules, our governmental laws, or even the laws of nature — all of it has to go out the window.
And you must learn to adapt to the new fantasy world-building of the story...
This is exciting stuff, folks!
Because once we can learn to build new worlds in our imaginations, we can learn to build new worlds in our actual existing one. The clouds can part to show us solutions or answers that are often hiding in plain sight right in front of us.
This theme is mirrored both in the epic fantasy genre of this book as well as the romance of our two protagonists, Hart and Mercy.
What is the vibe here? Brace yourself... Imagine if You've Got Mail and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies had a book child... And there you go!
Perfect for readers who are not afraid to go where no one has gone before... Even from their reading chair...
With sparkling dialogue. One-of-a-kind characters. And a good dose of humor... Place this stellar read on your best adult fantasy novels reading list!... ✨😎✨

BOOK SYNOPSIS
Marshal Hart is tasked with patrolling and protecting the magical and dangerous wilds of Tanria, where the residents are at constant risk of attack from soul-seeking drudges who seek to inhabit their bodies... He's lonely and often isolated from the very people he protects.
Mercy is a woman who has dedicated her life to keeping her family's undertaker business afloat after her father's health begins to fail. Although the business is intended to pass to her brother, Mercy is the one who loves the business. But she's constantly busy and doesn't have time for anything else.
Especially the annoying visits of Marshal Hart who drops off new "customers"... But always rubs Mercy the wrong way... The feeling is mutual.
Another mutual fact? They're both secretly writing letters to an anonymous pen pal... Hmmm...
The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy is a charming and unique adult fantasy novel romance with a thrilling action-adventure storyline that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
BOOK CLUB DISCUSSION
It's important to be open-minded when learning about new worlds, whether in a book or real life.
First impressions are often not accurate and it's important to get to know someone before judging them.
Our power of imagination can help us solve problems in the real world.
