About this listen

 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 . . .

While the storyline and characters are predictable, certain twists and the ending really leave you wanting more.

Predictable yet enchanting

This was an easy read, nice story, engaging enough. But it’s alot of tell writing rather than showing, the main character is constantly telling you what’s happening and her changing thought every paragraph which makes it hard to stay immersed in any action going on. The ending intrigues enough to read the sequel but definitely expected more.

With the hype I expected more
