"Our Crooked Hearts" is a gripping mystery crossed with a pitch-dark fantasy novel by Melissa Albert, the global bestselling author of "The Hazel Wood". Set in a family that keeps their magic close but their secrets closer, the story follows Ivy as she experiences a series of disturbing events during her summer. Haunted by fragmented memories from her childhood, she begins to suspect that there is more to her mother, Dana, than meets the eye.

Dana's tale begins when she embarks on a major fling with the supernatural at the age of sixteen. Too late, she realizes that the powers she is playing with are also playing with her. Years later, Ivy and Dana's shared story will come to a reckoning between a mother, a daughter, and the dark forces they never should have messed with.

"Our Crooked Hearts" is electrifyingly brilliant, with Katherine Webber describing it as "riveting" and Angeline Boulley praising it as "a must-read for fans of dark fantasy and psychological suspense." The novel delves into themes of magic, power, and the consequences of playing with forces beyond our control, making it a captivating and thought-provoking read.
