About this book

Can a dead heart learn to beat again?

After dropping out of med school, Lucy Sullivan thought her skill with a scalpel would only be useful for her hobbyist taxidermy. But life takes another unexpected turn when she becomes the doctor for a most unusual patient: one who’s already dead. Or undead, rather.

Subject X-14, “The Revenant” - aka Victor - may be a collection of stitched-together corpses with a hunger for human flesh, yet Lucy soon finds herself grappling with unexpected fondness for her patient. In spite of her general fear of getting close to people, she wants to make him happy just as badly as she wants to cut him open and figure out what makes him tick.

But when Victor uses her as a hostage and kidnaps her, Lucy becomes a pawn in his plot to take out his cruel creator. They say if you seek revenge, you should dig two graves - and with Lucy caught up in this scheme, it might just be three. Can she save Victor before he loses himself to his desire for vengeance, or will he drag her down with him?

The Revenant's Heart is a slow burn, suspenseful novel about an undead monster and a human, featuring both romantic and horror themes. It has a HEA and can be read as a standalone, though it has crossover with other books in the Monster Research Facility series.

okay, victor and lucy were HOT. that patient vs doctor trope 👀 um, delicious. this series is probably one of my favorite reads so far this year. y’all know i’m a slut for anything frankenstein-y, and i actually already had this downloaded, and when i found out the nightmare’s kiss were from the same series, i was so excited! this was such a fun adventure! victor was a broody, traumatized mess and lucy was a complex and mysterious doctor. the slow burn was everything and i loved watching them...

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...

My favorite so far

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
