Blurb
A reluctant necromancer, a man killed before his time, and the crime that brings them together.
Felipe Galvan’s life as an investigator for the Paranormal Society has been spent running into danger. Returning home from his latest case, Felipe struggles with the sudden quiet of his life until a mysterious death puts him in the path of the enigmatic Oliver Barlow.
Oliver has two secrets. One, he has been in love with the charming Felipe Galvan for years. Two, he is a necromancer, but to keep the sensible life he’s built as a medical examiner, he must hide his powers. That is until Oliver finds Felipe murdered and accidentally brings him back from the dead.
But Felipe refuses to die again until he and Oliver catch his killer. Together, Felipe and Oliver embark on an investigation to uncover a plot centuries in the making. As they close in on his killer, one thing is certain: if they don’t stop them, Felipe won’t be the last to die.
Author Bio
Kara Jorgensen (she/they) is a queer, nonbinary oddball with a penchant for all things antiquated, morbid, or just plain strange. While in college, they realized they no longer wanted to be Victor Frankenstein but instead wanted to write like Mary Shelley and thus abandoned their future career in science for writing. Kara melds her passions through her books and graduated with an MFA in Creative and Professional Writing in 2016. When not writing, they can be found hanging out with their dogs watching period dramas or trying to convince their students to cite their sources.
The thing about the Reanimator's Heart was it's cover next was the synopsis which really sealed the deal for me as there were so many genres and reps but as I read the book I found that Kara wrote really well and I was also grateful for the trigger warnings.
As I was reading this wonderful book for Disability Pride I was captivated by Oliver and Felipe as their story was intriguing but also quite comical. I loved the atmosphere of the book and Kara kept everything going from the pacing, plot and different reps and genres which seamlessly interchanged and I admit at times I felt like I was on a rollercoaster.
I will be most certainly be carrying on with the series as I really really want to know what happens next.
For all the above reasons The Reanimator's Heart receives 4 stars
