Hearts Gambit - a blush if black history swiped across a scarred battlefield imbued with magic!

 I loved this book!! Broadway streaks, magic circus shows and feuding families tethered to destroy each other is a unique Romeo Juliet doomed love perspective.. add in a fated fight to death with a shadowy witch and spying Ravens, it elevates the tension!!

My heartfelt gratitude to St. Martin's Press snd Netgalley for this wonderful opportunity.

J.D.Myall enthralls with the exploration of black history, meandering through key events and cultural gambit that capture the essence and spirit of each age. The Davenports and the Baldwins have been engaged in centuries of clan battles, we with each side losing beloved members, tracing back to an ancient curse by the witch Sabine!

The book boasts of a melt your heart letter exchanges, beautiful dates and wildly and madly dysfunctional families, all helmed by strong matriarchs! The New Orleans vibe is alive throughout the book!

I blazed through it in 2 days time and am a satisfied, culturally immersed and in love with Emma and Malcolm- cannot wait to see more!!!
