Oh, Jacks, you little bastard. It’s been a while since I’ve had a crush on a book character, but here I am. He’s so evil and damaged! I love him. The romance between Evangeline and him is so goooood! Even if nothing really happened there.
What an amazing novel, too. Evangeline you are one of the strongest female characters I’ve read in a long time, and I love Stephanie for writing you in this way.
My only complaints with this novel are pretty simple:
1. Vampires: I hate vampires. There’s no reason for my hatred towards them.
2. Cringe dialogue: every time Jacks said “Little Fox”, I wanted to kms (/jk) and then Jacks for his cringeworthy words. Plus, some other things I can’t really recall right now but I would definitely say if pointed out.
I can’t wait to read the second book!! (And try Caraval, too, even despite its mixed reviews)
