Our Crooked Hearts

Secrets. Lies. Super-bad choices. Witchcraft . . . A gripping mystery crossed with a pitch-dark tale of modern-day witchcraft.

IN OUR FAMILY, MAGIC RUNS DEEP, BUT SECRETS RUN DEEPER.
Ivy’s summer starts 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, things soon take a more sinister turn.
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.
