The Ballad Of Never After by Stephanie Garber
4.25
dark mysterious medium-paced

Jacks.... Do I love him? Do I hate him? Probably a little of both.

Evangeline has no choice but to align with Jacks once again as the only person she might be able to trust, but she didn't explicitly trust him. He can keep her safe from a curse put on Apollo who is trying to kill her. He also needs her to open the Valory arch and to do that, they must find all these stones.

With stories that change the more you read them or disappear completely, it takes a long time for Evageline to get the truth of the Valors. Jacks as usual gives her partial truths, but when she discovers who Jacks REALLY is... It's part dream and nightmare.

I liked this book but am hopeful that book 3 will give us some more action to it. This book tended to lag a bit
