Synopsis:
Two villains, one girl, and a deadly battle for happily ever after.

Evangeline Fox ventured to the Magnificent North in search of her happy ending, and it seems as if she has it. She’s married to a handsome prince and lives in a legendary castle. But Evangeline has no idea of the devastating price she’s paid for this fairytale. She doesn’t know what she has lost, and her husband is determined to make sure she never finds out. . . . but first he must kill Jacks, the Prince of Hearts.

Review:
Apollo. Oh Apollo. There was the chance of warm fuzzy feelings for what a good guy you were, up until the end of the second book. This book makes you see the true difference between a villain and one who may just be… morally grey. Without knowing exactly why, Evangeline is left wondering if this perfect fairytale life is what really makes her happy. In life there are so many times that you must choose a path and sometimes the unexplored or what may be considered foolhardy trail is the one you belong on, so I thought this book was a great analogy for life. I absolutely loved that Evangeline has such strong instincts in this novel, and all of the magic surrounding (and placed literally upon her) enhances that which she innately knows. There are great villains in this novel, both expected (thanks to the end of book two) and unexpected. As always, Garber expertly drew me into her novel and I find myself wishing I could continue living in that world for just a few more pages… especially to learn more about apples.
