Have I mentioned I love Jacks? He’s quickly becoming my favorite morally grey villain. The enemies to lovers has been a sloooooow burn, but I’m loving every second of it. The fairytale vibes of this series give me life. The whimsical world of the North is pure ✨magic✨.
Reading Caraval, I was kind of annoyed how long Garber took to give us answers and for keeping us in the dark with major plot elements so long. I think that’s growing on me, though. Now I kind of love how the plot is such a mystery, and I absolutely suck at guessing what’s going to happen. 😂
Then that ending! That is so stressful. Thank God, she didn’t end the book when I thought she did and she kept going a few more chapters. It’s still brutal, but it isn’t as bad as it could have been. 😅 I hate that we have to wait until September to see what happens next, but I’m going to remain naively hopeful everything’s going to work out.
Grade: +
Summary:
Not every love is meant to be.
After Jacks, the Prince of Hearts, betrays her, Evangeline Fox swears she’ll never trust him again. Now that she’s discovered her own magic, Evangeline believes she can use it to restore the chance at happily ever after that Jacks stole away.
But when a new terrifying curse is revealed, Evangeline finds herself entering into a tenuous partnership with the Prince of Hearts again. Only this time, the rules have changed. Jacks isn’t the only force Evangeline needs to be wary of. In fact, he might be the only one she can trust, despite her desire to despise him.
Instead of a love spell wreaking havoc on Evangeline’s life, a murderous spell has been cast. To break it, Evangeline and Jacks will have to do battle with old friends, new foes, and a magic that plays with heads and hearts. Evangeline has always trusted her heart, but this time she’s not sure she can. . . .
