A Curse for True Love is the final book of the Once Upon a Broken Heart Trilogy, it's a YA Fantasy that screams fairytale in every way. At first I thought it might have been a Cinderella retelling but then instead of Cinderella she's called Evangeline. But honestly the entire trilogy just screams all kinds of fairytales. While the first and second book had both expected and unexpected twists, I saw most of the twists in the final book coming. Regardless it was a satisfying read, an amazing end to this fairytale between Jacks and Evangeline. 🍎🏹 

There's some things that are left unanswered that I want to know; what happened to Marisol, and what about Havelock because Evangeline should really talk with him after everything that happened, not to forget the Valors; with Aurora and Castor/Chaos still out there I doubt their reign will be a happy one. Speaking of Chaos, will he find control or keep going on killing sprees? And what about Dane and LaLa? Will Lala and Castor end up together? Will they put the helm on him again? I wish those things would have been cleared up.

That said, any YA fantasy lovers or readers who love fairytale retellings will love this trilogy. 🩷💛
