"***Bad shit happens in the desert*** Izzy Ames lives with her high school sweetheart, Cyrus Rivera, in the Salton Sea. They cling to each other and their close friends Nephy and Seth to cope with the trauma of their pasts. Until one morning Izzy awakes to find Cyrus has vanished. Trapped by the idea that everyone is on their own in the desert, Izzy decides to look for Cyrus on her own. After weeks of looking for him with no luck, she finds a clue that leads her to the House of Hearts, a retreat center promising to help heal past traumas led by a mysterious woman named Sky. There she is left with more questions about Cyrus, Sky, herself, and an intriguing musician named Ever Fontana. For a moment Izzy is able to forget the pain of her past, but when new clues about Cyrus's disappearance surface, Izzy must go down into the dark to find the truth. Izzy's quest will take her into a world of sexuality, madness, and violence, a world where she will discover secrets not only about Cyrus but, ultimately, about herself"--… (more)
