I was excited to read this book, however, I only got to read a few pages. I realize that ARCs are not always edited, but this was ridiculous. There were letters left from words and so many more typos that I was trying to figure out words more than read the story.
I hope when the book is published, it will be more polished.
I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Big thank you NetGalley and to the publisher for the chance to review this book pre-release. Hearts Still Beating was a great book that touched on romance in a zombie-ish infected world. I really loved reading this, it was fun and had a great pace that didn't feel like it lagged anywhere. It gave me reminiscent feelings of the The Hollows
by Amanda Hocking, and I think those that enjoyed that series, would love this too. A more formal review will be available on my IG/TikTok and Goodreads.

Gripping, romantic, and impossible to put down, this dark and immersive post-apocalyptic debut YA novel is about two teen girls who loved each other before the end of the world — and before one of them became infected with the virus that turned her into a monster.

This was so good! I cried my eyes out on a couple of occasions, and that's one of the highest compliments I can give to a book.

This was heartbreaking and edge of your seat actionpacked and sweet all at once. I love Mara and Rory and how they always found their way back to one another. A unique zomie love story.

I absolutely loved this apocalyptic, dystopian, thriller, LGBTQ love story. Talk about trauma and horror and true love.

This was one of the books I was super excited for this year and it did not disappoint. The cover is super gorgeous and is perfect for the story. The story starts off kinda slow but then picks up pace. I loved the characters the world building was awesome and I can't wait for people to read this

This book has an amazing premise and story. However, the ARC is hard to read. I expect there to be typos and mistakes in an ARC as it has not been fully edited. This, however, had so many words that were just missing letters completely. This led to me DNFing, which I rarely do. I will definitely be re-reading this when it comes out, in hopes that I have to decode less.

A Sapphic story set in the apocalyptic background of a zombie virus. This really is a story you can sink your teeth into.
