The Ballad of Never After (Once Upon a Broken Heart, 2)

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

Stephanie Garber's THE BALLAD OF NEVER AFTER is the jaw-dropping sequel to the ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART, starring Evangeline Fox and the Prince of Hearts on a new journey of magic, mystery, and heartbreak

Not every love is meant to be.

After Jacks, the Prince of Hearts, betrays her, Evangeline Fox swears she'll never trust him again. Now that she's discovered her own magic, Evangeline believes she can use it to restore the chance at happily ever after that Jacks stole away.

But when a new terrifying curse is revealed, Evangeline finds herself entering into a tenuous partnership with the Prince of Hearts again. Only this time, the rules have changed. Jacks isn't the only force Evangeline needs to be wary of. In fact, he might be the only one she can trust, despite her desire to despise him.

Instead of a love spell wreaking havoc on Evangeline's life, a murderous spell has been cast. To break it, Evangeline and Jacks will have to do battle with old friends, new foes, and a magic that plays with heads and hearts. Evangeline has always trusted her heart, but this time she's not sure she can. . . .

I will never get over this!! My absolute favorite comfort book. Not only is the story enchanting, magical and captivating, but I really love reading about a main female character like Evangeline, gentle and soft, but not boring or weak. I really wish there were more characters like her, who show that a girl can be a hopeless romantic who has faith and sees the good in people, but still while being incredibly likeable and strong. Not to mention the slow burn romance between her and Jacks, ahhhh this book has captured my heart and set standards sooo high!!

ugh this book is everything. fairytale vibes are immaculate, so many scenes are so beautifully written, but the ending is what truly made my 4.0 into 4.5 stars.
