I LOVE THIS BOOK. That's it. That's the review. This might be the best one yet and I can't describe how.

I hate that I'm finished with it already because I just want to read more about Eveline and Nicholas. I love everything that I just can't write a good review. I can't wait what the fourth book of this series has to bring!

once upon a time, shannon got very obsessed very quickly with dark romance fairytale retellings, and basically fell down the rabbit hole into the lovely emily mcintere’s trap ✨

AND THE REST IS HISTORY

I’m in love with this entire series!! I don’t think anything can top hooked, but emily is so so creative with the way that she brings in subtle but noticeable details from the original stories and makes them fit into her own storyline SO perfectly. 

and while I’m a sucker for a bad boy trope, I’m turning to the dark side of badass I’ll literally kill you females, such as evie 😍😍

in this wicked witch retelling, I devoured this book in basically a day because I just had to know how it ended! the way these characters were brought and adapted for the darker modern world was just so remarkable - I swear, I’ll shut up about it someday - and intriguing to read!!

this one was a bit more predictable and slower paced than the others in the series, but I still read it cover to cover with so much investment 🫢
