I found it hard to put down and my panic grew as I drew closer to the end of the book with more questions than answers. I found myself needing the sequel and pouting quite a bit that it's going to be a long wait until we see what's next for Evangeline, Jacks and the Northern Court * Reach Plc (MyLondon) *
I love how it takes the age-old trope of true love's kiss and twists it, and I love how the 'deal with a devil' theme is carried out in a fresh way. However, what I love most is the fairy-tale setting of 'the North', which is somehow portrayed as being magical and unusual, yet also as normal real life. It produces a whimsical backdrop with sharp-edged undertones that perfectly complements the main character and her tangled situation * British Fantasy Society *
