About this ebook
How far would you go for happily ever after?
'An unputdownable fairy tale' Kerri Maniscalco, New York Times bestselling author of Kingdom of the Wicked
From the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of the Caraval series, the first book in a new series about love, curses, and the lengths that people will go to for happily ever after.
For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in happily ever after. Until she learns that the love of her life is about to marry another, and her dreams are shattered.
Desperate to stop the wedding, and 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 pledged. He has plans for Evangeline, plans that will either end in the greatest happily ever after, or the most exquisite tragedy . . .

the first view chapters went a bit slow but i understand that it's the first of the series, we gotta be introduced to the MCs, places, etc ... the story is getting escalated mid-book with a non-stop plot twist and emotional roller coaster which i love, specially the drama. some people might think it's cheesy but to me books/movies/series had to put some dramas to get you hooked. and i got hooked by this book, can't even pick other book to read (i'm serious) at least not untill i get to read the complete series. i give 3.90 ⭐

This book was entertaining but not the best thing I've ever read. It was a bit boring (at least for me) at first. I'm not really a fantasy reader so I don't know if this is how fantasy book usually go like the first book is more of an explanation and the second book is where the like 'action' starts. Also idk maybe it's just me but I found Evangeline really annoying during the first chapters... (...more than a few chapters)

As soon as I finished this book I bought the 2nd and 3rd in paperback form oh my I love this series. I love the author's evident creativity and the mystery that just kept me reading. I can't lie, I do enjoy the second book a lot lot more, the first book had me irritated at some parts with the protagonists actions but she is 17 years old. I would recommend this book, and would definitely recommend the series.
