A Forever Unrooting of Jade and Hickory (The Rooted Realm)
Mikki Roule
by Skyla Gray
Lucy Sullivan is a woman of science with a morbid hobby, but her life takes a dark, irreversible turn when she accepts an unconventional position at a mysterious research facility. Her new patient is Subject X-14, a terrifyingly beautiful creature stitched together from the dead. Known as Victor, this revenant is a hungry, vengeful enigma who challenges everything Lucy knows about anatomy and desire. As she studies him, her scientific curiosity quickly spirals into an obsessive, dangerous attraction that defies all logic.
This gripping dark romance masterfully blends the classic Frankenstein aesthetic with the high-stakes intensity of a hell-bound mission. When Victor kidnaps Lucy to use her as a pawn against his cruel creator, the dynamic shifts from doctor-patient to a volatile, slow-burn entanglement. Trapped in his orbit, Lucy must decide if she is his next victim or the only soul capable of stitching his fractured heart back together.
Perfect for fans of paranormal romance who crave atmospheric tension and morally grey monsters, this story balances horror with undeniable heat. Whether you are drawn to the academy setting or the promise of a soul-shattering journey through hell-realms, this monster romance delivers a pulse-pounding, unforgettable experience where love is the deadliest experiment of all.

It’s rare to get good monster romance books with plots and twists. This book helped me get out of my reading slump. While it wasn’t my favorite it’s a great read with the perfect amount of spice and plot. One aspect I didn’t like, and this may be a spoiler to some was the fact our MMC consumes human flesh… like I get animals and whatnot but people make it gross. It’s hard to look at our couple romantically knowing that he is a human eater, I guess this indie monster romance is a bit too monster...

The Revenants Heart is book 2 in the monsters research facility series by Skyla Grey. This book was a cute, enjoyable and quick read. It was a little predictable and lacked depth at times but I really liked the vibes of the book. Overall it was an enjoyable read for me. ) One person found this helpful
