"At once warm, tender, and totally ruthless, These Vile Hearts had me completely captivated. If you love meticulous world building and sky-high stakes, this is the romance for you."
Falon Ballard
Author of Something Wicked
"Melody Robinette shines with this absolute delight of a debut novel! These Vile Hearts contains everything I want in a romantasy: magical world-building, relatable characters, and enough sexual tension to have me kicking my feet…I am already begging for more!"
Library Journal
"Robinette’s debut is an exciting, fast-paced romantasy that will have readers anticipating another installment. Recommend this story of deception and intrigue to fans of Hannah Whitten’s For the Wolf."
Máire Roche
Author of Bromantasy
"Robinette stuns in her debut. Equal parts an engaging, unique fantasy and an incisive commentary on the treatment of disabled people, These Vile Hearts is an unmissable debut."
Charlotte B. Plumb
Author of Reap & Sow
"Woven with imaginative world-building, crackling wit, and charming romance, These Vile Hearts is a sumptuous modern fairytale that pairs sweeping magic with the quiet realities of living with chronic illness. A truly original and enchanting debut."
Clare Edge
Author of Natural Selection
"A new queen of the fae has arrived and her name is Melody Robinette. As intoxicating as fairy wine and as sharp as a dryad’s dagger, These Vile Hearts is both entirely unique and wonderfully familiar—the diabetic fae bargain of my most decadent dreams. Robinette weaves unflinching diabetic lived experience into a brilliant tapestry of magic, romance, and banter. Fans of The Cruel Prince and Emily Wilde are in for a treat. But beware, one bite won’t be enough."
