It’s been 2 years since I was back in the Magnificent North… and what a warm welcome back! 


I start to tear up whenever I think about this book. I am CHANGED! This was absolutely beautiful. This book was like walking into a storybook from my childhood. I couldn’t love this book more.

I remember loving Evangeline in the first book but I absolutely adored her in this one. All she wants is a happy ending and I genuinely admire her so so much. She never gives up, but she also never sacrifices her morals and her beliefs in pursuit of her happiness and that was amazing to see.

Jacks is one of my favorite characters I’ve ever read. In OUABH he was so shrouded in mystery and it was difficult to see the truth from a trick. But he shined so so bright in this book. I really enjoyed his character before, but you get to know him with so much more depth and it’s so heartbreaking, but also beautiful.

This was one of the easiest 5 stars I’ve ever given and I have no doubts about it. If someone ever ask me about this book I’ll say that there is nothing of equal value to me.

It was such a good book! Couple things I called, and somethings I was so wrong about! But even then, all the twists at the end, I did not see any of them coming! I probably should have, but damn, they just kept shocking me! And that damn cliffhanger! Where’s book 3 already?! Gahh!!! I need to continue this story already!!!

Evangeline and Jacks return as wary enemies in this sequel. Even with Evangeline being determined to solve her own issues, it seems that Jacks have other plans. As the twists and revelations unfold, one gets caught up in the twisted love story once again. Garber does a tremendous job of repeatedly warning both the reader and Evangeline not to trust people and placating those fears at the same time. Every twist manages to be a surprise and a knife to the gut. Can't wait for the third book!

STEPHANIE! That cliffhanger was NOT COOL, man! And book three doesn’t come out until October 2023?!

Fabulous fairytale though—can’t wait to read the next installment!
