Overview

Four tribes of ruthless demigods rule over luck in our world. To save her mom, Aggie must join them. A proud nerd and teen scientist, Aggie doesn't believe in gods or in luck. Her OCD is under control-mostly-and her mom, Rachel, has just finished building a dark matter machine that could win back her job as a physics professor. When Rachel disappears, Aggie sneaks into the casino where her mom has been earning money as a card-counter. Instead of finding her, Aggie is captured by a gang of men with tattoos of clubs on the palms of their hands-the Blackovers. A dangerously beautiful boy, the mercurial Jack Valentine, helps her escape. Because of a glitch in the dark matter machine, Aggie has been filled with charm, good luck energy, while her mom received bad luck energy and may be forced to become a Blackover. To save her, Aggie must join Jack and his fellow Valentines. She finds herself whisked into their world of opulent mansions, gorgeous people, and fancy cars. Girl of Hearts is book 1 of The Luck Gods Series, is a YA contemporary / urban fantasy series featuring royal intrigue, slow-burn romance, and a mind-bending original magic system based on the four card suits: diamonds, clubs, hearts, and spades. But being a demigoddess isn't all glamor and popularity. It can be deadly. Aggie must master her newfound luck powers, battle the dark suits, and brave the unlucky underbelly of Detroit, all while keeping her OCD at bay-or risk losing her mom forever.

Gates has created a fresh, magical world where luck is power. The MC Aggie is smart and fiercely determined, and I was eagerly flipping through the pages from the very start. With strong prose, action-packed scenes, and a unique magic system, Girl of Hearts is a must-read! - Nissa Leder - author, Whims of the Fae series I'm beyond obsessed with this book and I am already dying for the second one to come out. -Booktok review: @bookchellereads Absolutely loved how this book plot played out.

You will not be disappointed. -BookTok review: @missie_reads_books It was so good! ... introduces you to a world of magic and myths and gods but not like any you've heard of before . . .
