SMILES HIDE WHAT LURKS BENEATH.

Sanity-eating monsters ended humanity. The unlucky few who survived now hide in
the cracks of a broken world. And yet somehow, beneath the graveyard that used
to be San Antonio, Rico met Lupe, the girl of his dreams – and an enigma. How
did she get here? And why is she smiling? No one survives out in the street. No
one smiles where the monsters lurk. But Lupe does.

Join teenagers Rico and Lupe as they journey through a the desolate landscape
of monstrous devastation – and their own obstacle-ridden relationship.

Heart Eyes explores themes of loneliness, mental illness, being your own worst
enemy, and human connection reflecting the pandemic and post-pandemic world in
which we live.

MY REVIEW

Lupe is a girl lost. Wandering San Antonio alone in a world filled with monsters that have one agenda. To consume humans. Why is Lupe able to walk among these monsters safely? Will she ever find others who can also do this? Is anyone left?

I enjoyed Heart Eyes. It had a Lovecraftian vibe and I’m always up for that.  Lupe Had me curious. I wanted to know how she could do what she did.  How she would end up. So did someone else. They’d been watching her. Waiting to make their move. When they did, things got crazy.

I confess, the graphics were my favorite part. So many monsters. And some wild flight scenes. The story raced along, filling in details leading up to an ending that I saw coming but was satisfied with. Don’t get attached to some of the characters. After all, this is world of monsters and they are hungry.
