Fortune is an itinerant musician without a past who braids memories into her hair. Maud is a sheltered small-town girl and an unwitting heir to the notorious McBride family magic. The two young women meet when Fortune is commissioned to bring Maud to a rich man whose grandson she cursed. United by their love of music and their hunger for the road, Fortune and Maud form a friendship one that is threatened not only by Fortune’s mission but also by their mutual desire for a man called Lightning.

“Sweet as vanishing dreams, tender to the touch as new memories, wise as nursery rhymes, tasty as blueberry pancakes, Holly Wade Matter’s Damned Pretty Things is a wondrous redemption tale of the triumph of love and friendship over pain and difference.–Nisi Shawl, author of Everfair and Filter House

Damned Pretty Things is beautiful and wise, haunted and haunting. Sui generis. Brilliant. Enjoy.–Cynthia Ward, author of the Blood-Thirsty Agent series
