Rating: 4.5/5 stars

Evangeline Fox makes a deal with the Prince of Hearts to stop the wedding of her first love, but all is not what it appears.

I am such a fan of this book! I absolutely LOVE Jacks (not sure what that says about me) and really enjoyed Evangeline as a leading lady. This continued to build upon the world-building from the CARAVAL trilogy but I enjoyed it more—I felt like a had a clearer handle on what was going on and how things worked. I also have theories about what’s coming next and I really hope I’m right.

Also, vampires? I’ll never complain about a book with vampires. Can’t wait to read book two!

CW: Violence/blood/death; mentions of death of parent

The story is exicting. It has fairy tale vibes. I don't know if it's because I didn't read the caraval series but I had to force myself a little to read until chapter three, after that I couldn't put the book down. There are a few plot holes you have to ignore but it's generally very good. The main character is very sweet, innocent and optimistic and sometimes makes impulsive decisions but fit her personality very well.
