Critics Review
“Our Gifted Hearts is a beautiful yet unsettling Gothic story about grief and self-forgiveness, breathing new life and a feminist perspective to this classic horror tale.”
– Sunyi Dean author of The Book Eaters
“A gloriously gothic tale, yet Our Gifted Hearts still managed to surprise me. Creepy, mysterious and magical. I devoured it!”
– Jodie Robins, author of The Off-Season
“In the best gothic fairy tale tradition, Kennedy’s Our Gifted Hearts offers readers a sumptuous retelling, with feisty heroine, Fortune, so much more than Bluebeard’s latest wife (and his mother is something else!) The mysteries run dark and deep. Intriguing and compelling.”
– Megan Taylor, author, The Therapist’s Daughter and We Wait
“The slow, quiet horror of Our Gifted Hearts is so tense you’ll need to hide this book in the freezer to catch your breath (and then get it straight out again to discover what happens next). Beautifully written and powerfully compelling.”
– Dan Hanks, author of Captain Moxley and the Embers of the Empire, Swashbucklers and The Way Up is Death
“Compulsively readable, romantic, and filled with fun and familiar tropes of the genre, Our Gifted Hearts is a classic gothic novel that nonetheless manages to offer something new due to its witchy touch.”
– Johanna Van Veen, author of Blood on Her Tongue
“Dark and delicious, Jennifer Kennedy’s gothic tale of offerings, secret promises, and deep secrets rising to claim our hearts is a witch story for us all. This is new folklore at it’s finest – an incantation infused with the ghosts of grief, witchery, and family.”
– Caroline Hardaker, author of Mothtown
