This book will steal your heart and break it, and leave you begging for more. About ‘The Hearts We Sold’ by Emily Lloyd-Jones When Dee Moreno makes a deal with a devil her heart in exchange for an escape from a disastrous home life she soon finds her trade may be more.

As something like love grows between them amid an otherworldly threat, Dee begins to wonder: Can she give James her heart when it's no longer hers to give? In The Hearts We Sold, demons can be outwitted, hearts can be reclaimed, monsters can be fought, and love isn't impossible. Dee is a wonderful and deeply sympathetic heroine, and I instantly related to her. Reality is turned on its head, and Dee has only her fellow 'heartless,' the charming but secretive James Lancer, to keep her grounded. The Hearts We Sold also features a wonderful underlying message about survival and the road to recovery, which will resonate for anyone who has or has known anyone who has struggled with abuse and trauma. And what comes after Dee makes her deal is a nightmare far bigger, far more monstrous than anything she ever could have imagined. The demon who Dee approaches doesn't trade in the usual arms and legs, however. But this is a world where demons exist, and the demons are there to make deals: one human body part in exchange for one wish come true. Dee’s companions the lovable Cal, the sharp and dangerous Cora, and the tortured artist James never feel like supporting characters.

Her home life sucks (to put it mildly), and she's about to get booted from her boarding school-the only place she's ever felt free-for lack of funds.
