My Review
I loved The Ballad of Never After! Evangeline Fox is such a hopeful, sweet character, and I really enjoyed following her journey. Jacks is my favourite—he’s charming, a little dangerous, and the way he calls her “little fox” melts my heart.
The story is full of surprises, with twists that kept me guessing. The magical world feels both beautiful and dangerous, like a dark fairy tale. But the best part is the romance. It’s slow, emotional, and filled with tension. Evangeline and Jacks have such amazing chemistry.
The ending left me shocked and wanting more. If you love magic, plot twists, and swoon-worthy romance, you’ll love this book!
My Thought
This book is beautiful, heartbreaking, and full of magic. It continues Evangeline and Jacks’ story, and things get way more emotional and intense.
What I liked:
- Evangeline and Jacks have amazing chemistry. Their relationship is full of tension, sweet moments, and so much pain. You’ll want to scream and hug them at the same time.
- The story feels darker and more dangerous. There’s still magic and wonder, but also betrayal, lies, and hard choices.
- Evangeline grows stronger. She’s still hopeful, but now she’s smarter and more careful. She’s not just a dreamer anymore—she’s learning to protect herself.
What you should know:
- It ends with a big cliffhanger. Be ready to feel everything. It’ll leave you desperate for the next book.
- Less fairy tale, more emotion. This book is more serious and heartbreaking than the first.
This book doesn’t just tell a story—it casts a spell.
If you let it, it will enchant you, shatter you, and leave you breathless with hope and heartbreak.
