Title: The Ballad of Never After

Series: Once Upon a Broken Heart #2

Author: Stephanie Garber

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…

My heart!
My heart!
It’s broken!
Actually broken!

My poor Jacks! Why oh why doesn’t he ever really listen to Evangeline, his Little fox?!!

I cant even write my thoughts so I’m just going to leave quotes whilst I weep into my duvet!

‘In the morning, you can forget it. You can go back to pretending you don’t like me, and I can pretend that I don’t care. But for tonight, let me pretend you’re mine.’

‘He held her with the type of intensity that only happens when a person wants something that isn’t quite theirs.’

‘I do not want you dead, and I’ll kill anyone who tries.’

‘Nothing has been safe since the moment I laid eyes on you. And yet I don’t want to look away.’

‘Jacks no longer felt like her enemy, he felt like her home.’

‘Sorry to break your fairytale, Little Fox, but ballads don’t end happily, and neither do the two of us.’

Pass the kleenex!
