A Curse for True Love by Stephanie Garber

A Curse for True Love by Stephanie Garber | A Book Review

This is the third book in the Once Upon a Broken Heart series. I would say a good conclusion to the series. I was not expecting things to happen in this book but it fills with twists and turns. this is the description of this book;

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.

Blood will be shed, hearts will be stolen, and true love will be put to the test in A Curse for True Love, the breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Once Upon A Broken Heart trilogy.

MY REVIEW
The Third book was a great finale to the series in my opinion. The story flowed forward seamlessly. I like how the characters evolved. I don't think the two male leads as villains because every character has flaws and they were both doing what they thought was best.

I felt for Apollo to be honest because he was wronged by Jack and he was somewhat in the right place to do what he was doing. All the things he did were not actually villainy, he had a plausible justification for this. he did not know Evangeline's feelings...well he knew but he did not know the extent of it. That is what I believe.

I was angry at Jack on multiple occasions. Although he is playing big games he is stupidly stubborn and just thinks he knows everything. Although I like the way he fell for Eva like he was hopelessly in love with her and she did not know.

In the last let's talk about Eva. the most levelheaded and awesome heroine. I loved her for being so mature at the age of 17 (she was 17 right? Correct me if I am wrong). I like the way she handled things. anyway on the whole I love this series. A 5 star from me. I love the places and building more in the book though. definitely recommend it.

Best Quotes

“And he loved her. He loved her. He loved her. He loved her. He loved her so much he’d rewritten history.”

“I am a monster, but whether you remember it or not, I’m your monster, Evangeline.”

“I already told you. You are the love of my life. You are mine, Jacks of the Hollow. And you’re not going to be the end of me.” “But you were dying.” “No,” she said, a little embarrassed. “I just forgot to breathe.”

“She tried to pull away, but Jacks held tight, knotting her hair in his fist and keeping his forehead pressed to hers. "Please, Little Fox, remember.”

“For anyone who has ever hoped for a second chance.”

“Once upon a time, a girl who believed in fairytales stole the heart of a prince who had sworn to never love.”

“He gritted his teeth. “Being yours does not make you mine.”

“You ask a lot of questions.".................."Only because you do a lot of questionable things.”

“I'm broken. I like to break things. Sometimes I want to break you."

“What is the point of having friends if they’re not there to support your bad decisions?”

Happy Reading!!

The Awakening | Zodiac Academy Series written by Caroline Peckham and Suzanne Valenti | A Book Review

Alright, here I am, sharing my thoughts on the first book The Awakening from Zodiac Academy series written by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti . I decided to start reviewing this series as it falls under the 'enemies to lovers ' and 'bullies romance' genres, which are right up my alley. I'm a sucker for this type of book and I am always on the hunt for such books. Someone made a video of this book on TikTok and I was like I had to read it. So, I began reading the book and I fell into a rabbit hole of Magic Academy, hot assholes, and alternative Fae world. It felt like diving into a more mature version of Harry Potter. Needless to say, I absolutely loved this first installment.

Where is Molly by H.D Carlton | A Review

Where is Molly is a stand alone book written by H.D Carlton. It is set in the Universe of Haunting Adeline. The story revolves around Molly...the girl we found in Hunting Adeline. Her diary was founded by Adeline under the floor and us readers always wanted to know if she succeeded in running away from that awful place. Blurb A spinoff of the Cat & Mouse Duet... “Molly Devereaux has been missing for more than two weeks, and police are still searching for the girl who seemed to vanish out of thin air. The world still wants to know... Where's Molly?” In my dreams, I never escaped the Oregon woods. Life after death isn't easy to accept, especially when I still feel like a ghost. Now, I live deep in the mountains of Montana—the paradigm of beauty. But they are also the home of horrors. Horrors that I only unleash at night. When my pigs are allowed to feast. It is strongly recommended to read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline before reading Where's Molly. Important No...

Lightlark by Alex Aster | A Book Review

A Fellow booktoker recommended me this book. She talks about it all the time and makes really catchy videos featuring this Duology. I got interested and purchased this book. Lightlark is the first book in the series written by Alex Aster. I got to know some pretty interesting facts about the Author and how this book was published. You should learn it too this is not my story to tell 😅. Anyhow I started reading this book in March and finished it one week. Somehow I got late in writing and reviewed all the books I read in March. So now I am starting again. This is the brief of this book on Goodreads; Welcome to the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons—a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has somet...
