The Ballad of Never After (Once Upon a Broken Heart #2) by Stephanie Garber - Starting November 20th 2022

[Jenn]

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...

Anyone reading this one?

[Karen]

I only just spotted this had been set up. Not sure who originally planned to read it, but happy to join in Katie.

[Danique]

Me and Katie originally planned it, but you're welcome to join! I'm very behind on everything so I'm not sure when I'll be able to join

[Karen]

First quarter. Who to trust? Jacks needs her, but his behaviour seems more intimate than I’d expect.

[Karen]

Second quarter. It’s hard to see who’s lying to who, and why, but I’m guessing that this visit to the party isn’t going to end well.

[Karen]

Third quarter (view spoiler)[ They can’t keep blaming things on the stones. Doesn’t seem as if Jacks is going to have a happy ending! (hide spoiler)]

[Karen]

Finished. Review on home page. That was brutal! Can’t believe it’s been left like that…when is book three out?
