Our Crooked Hearts

Brought to you by Penguin,
SECRETS. LIES. SUPER-BAD CHOICES. WITCHCRAFT.
This is Our Crooked Hearts, a gripping mystery crossed with a pitch-dark tale of modern-day witchcraft from Melissa Albert, global bestselling author of The Hazel Wood.
In this family, magic runs deep, but secrets run deeper . . .
Ivy's summer kicks off with a series of disturbing events: unnatural offerings appear on her doorstep and she's haunted by fragmented memories from her childhood. Soon she grapples with a dark secret that she's always known - but never faced - that there is more to her mother Dana than meets the eye . . .
Dana's story starts the summer she turns sixteen, when with the help of her best friend and an ambitious older girl, she embarks on a major fling with the supernatural. As the trio's aspirations darken, they find themselves speeding toward a violent breaking point . . .
Years after it began, Ivy and Dana's shared story will come down to a reckoning among a mother, a daughter and the dark forces they never should've messed with.
'EVERY LINE READS LIKE AN INCANTATION, and the result is a book pulsing with magic, one that holds the reader firmly under its spell.' V.E. Schwab, author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
