For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in true love and happy endings…until she learns that the love of her life will marry another.
Desperate to stop the wedding and to heal her wounded heart, Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic, but wicked, Prince of Hearts. In exchange for his help, he asks for three kisses, to be given at the time and place of his choosing.
But after Evangeline’s first promised kiss, she learns that bargaining with an immortal is a dangerous game — and that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she’d pledged. He has plans for Evangeline, plans that will either end in the greatest happily ever after, or the most exquisite tragedy...
Short and Sweet Review
Evangeline Fox has always believed in love and happy endings, unfortunately for her the boy she loves is marrying her step sister. Evangeline decides she’s going to make a deal with a fate: the prince of hearts. Evangeline wants the wedding off and the boy she loves back and the prince of heart asks for three kisses at the time and place of his choosing. Evangeline says yes but she’s in for more than what she originally thought.
I loved being back in this world. It was nice seeing characters from the Caraval trilogy and I liked following our new main character, Evangeline. After Evangeline makes a deal with Jacks she starts to regret it especially when other peoples lives start to become affected. Evangeline brings her step sister Marisol with her, but Marisol isn’t as helpless as she seems. We follow Evangeline in what seems like a soap opera mixed with a fairy tale, she has to deal with weddings, and curses. I liked seeing Evangeline and Jacks work together, and seeing more of who Jacks is. The world is magical and just sucks you in. There’s a lot of things going on but not in a bad way. I’m excited to see what will happen next!
