Evangaline and Jacks present a promising start to a trilogy. With twists and turns in the most unexpected of places, this fairytale of fairytales presents the question of who to trust and when? The best part of the story so far seems to be that Evangeline is immune to Jacks charms literally and can hold her own in a sticky situation. The part that prevents this from being 5 stars however is the fact that shes so desperate to be loved that shes vulnerable to manipulation and is easily won over by pretty much any man who gives her affection. This was annoying in the beginning with Luc and continued throughout the remainder of the book. Hopefully she is less susceptible to this in the following two books.

This was great - I loved Jacks in the Caraval series so I’m so excited to continue this series. This was really fast-paced, like Garber's other novels, the plot kicks in really early and it's all systems go! Once again, she's created a really magical atmosphere throughout the storyline and worldbuilding.

This has great enemies to lovers potential. The sexual tension between Jacks and Evangeline built up slowly throughout the book and I cannot wait to see what happens next. I'm also intrigued to see if Chaos plays more of a role as I felt there was something significant between him and Evangeline as well.

Every time I picked up the book I kept wanting to read the next chapter. The plot is not predictable either - I genuinely have no idea what to expect in the next book. It did end on a cliffhanger so as soon as it's pay day, I will be purchasing the next book!
