Third in the Never After series, Wretched is a loose reimagination of The Wizard of Oz, featuring Evelina, the “wicked witch” coded daughter of an Irish mobster, and Nick, an undercover DEA agent who scoffs in the face of love (one might say he is heartless). The story is set in modern day Chicago, centering on Evie's family's growing drug empire, and the formerly mentioned DEA agent on the hunt for their supplier. This book held a great pace, had great characters with a lot of depth, and wove through a very entertaining plot with a final twist that actually caught me off guard 👏👏👏 As always with this series, I love looking for all of the tie-ins to the original story and figuring out the who’s who as far as reworked characters goes.
