When Dee Moreno makes a deal with a demon—her heart in exchange for an escape from a disastrous home life—she finds the trade may have been more than she bargained for. And becoming “heartless” is only the beginning. What lies ahead is a nightmare far bigger, far more monstrous than anything she could have ever imagined.
With reality turned on its head, Dee has only a group of other deal-making teens to keep her grounded, including the charming but secretive James Lancer. And as something grows between them amid an otherworldy ordeal, Dee begins to wonder: Can she give someone her heart when it’s no longer hers to give?
Goodreads Summary
When I saw this at ALA I knew that I had to review this book! Dee has a pretty disappointing home life. Boxed into an unhappy house, she just wants to maintain her distance and leave. She sees academics and success as her way out. When that escape plan is threatened, she takes drastic action and offers up a piece of herself to a demon. Little does she know that the demons have an alternate use for all of those body parts/pieces that they gather from people hoping to get a wish in return.
In this world, demons appeared and explained to the public that by receiving a piece of someone's body/soul they get a wish (the demon grants one). Dee's character felt like she could be someone I know in reality. She was resilient, stubborn, brave, and a little foolish. James was a wonderful surprise. He was nothing like the typical young adult love interest tropes. His kindness and love for Dee was adorable and sweet. The other characters rounded out the story and helped to explain some of what was going on with the demons. I loved the ending though I still maintain this is a rainy day read. It is the perfect book for a road trip or plane ride, too! I literally flew through this book in one sitting.

- I'm a young college student who has probably read over 5000 books over the course of my short life; some of the books were classics, some of the books were terrific, and some of the books were...misses. Even with the latter part I will always believe in the power of books to completely remove the reader from his/her present reality. Long Live Books! I would love to read and review books from just about any genre. To contact me: edysicecreamlover18 AT gmail DOT com Thank you for your interest! At this time, I can only accept paperback or hardcover. The finished review copies I receive are either kept in my personal collection or donated to several libaries, schools, or charities-I have no control over the finished review copies after donation. *I claim no ownership for any images used on this site.
