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
EERIE, EVOCATIVE, AND ELECTRIFYINGLY BRILLIANT. I was immediately gripped from the very first page and completely compelled throughout. I already can't wait to reread it. Melissa Albert's writing is magic made real.
Katherine Webber, author of The Revelry
A RIVETING STORY THAT GRIPS YOU LIKE A SPELL until you're too deep to emerge unscathed! Once again, Melissa Albert reveals the power of magic within a daughter's grasp and the love of imperfect mothers.
Angeline Boulley, author of Firekeeper’s Daughter
RUTHLESSLY ENTICING, Our Crooked Hearts is a story about fierce magic and even fiercer young women. It caught me in its web and held on tight. This book pulses with a bewitching darkness, and I loved it.
Kat Ellis, author of Harrow Lake
UTTERLY BELIEVABLE MOTHERS, SISTERS, AND DAUGHTERS WITH THEIR HANDS FULL OF MAGIC, MAKING BAD DECISIONS because they have to. I love it. No one combines magic, darkness, and the realities of being a woman the way Melissa Albert does.
Kristin Cashore, author of The Graceling Realm series
NO ONE WEAVES FAIRY TALE MAGIC INTO THE MODERN WORLD LIKE MELISSA ALBERT. A truly masterful tale . . . with all the trappings of a classic: immaculate prose, a parallel generational story for the ages, and chills when you least expect them.
David Arnold, author of The Electric Kingdom
The gravity of Albert's prose in Our Crooked Hearts is inescapable. I love the glint and grind of its magic, its tangled inheritance, the sacrifices it demands, the bonds it makes and breaks. THIS BOOK WILL SWALLOW YOU WHOLE.
Hannah Abigail Clarke, author of Scapegracers
A STORY AS THRILLING, ALLURING, AND HARROWING AS THE MAGIC IT DESCRIBES . . . This is a book that draws the reader in so cleverly, you won't think to ask how deep the water is until it's too late. An instant favorite.
Sarah Gailey, author of The Echo Wife
VISCERAL, BOLD, AND EERIE, OUR CROOKED HEARTS TOOK HOLD OF ME AND REFUSED TO LET GO. With girls as fierce as the magic they wield and secrets looming heavy on every page, this book is utterly compelling the whole way through.
Rachel Griffin, author of The Nature of Witches
A GLITTER-EDGED RAZOR OF A BOOK, SHARP AND KEEN. The magic here is real and visceral, with powerful consequences. I fell into this book like Alice falling into Wonderland, and I didn't want to leave.
Kat Howard, author of An Unkindness of Magicians
MELISSA ALBERT'S SIGNATURE STORYTELLING IS ONCE AGAIN PURE SORCERY. This book has everything I love: girls with tremendous power at their fingertips, mothers with unforgivable secrets, horrors left on the doorstep, and best of all, writing that sings and stuns. To those with a crookedness inside you: You are about to be enthralled.
Nova Ren Suma, author of The Walls Around Us
