    About this audiobook

    Stephanie Garber's The Ballad of Never After is the fiercely-anticipated sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller Once Upon a Broken Heart, starring Evangeline Fox and the Prince of Hearts on a new journey of magic, mystery, and heartbreak.

    Not every love is meant to be.

    After Jacks, the Prince of Hearts, betrays her, Evangeline Fox swears she'll never trust him again. Now that she’s discovered her own magic, Evangeline believes she can use it to restore the chance at happily ever after that Jacks stole away.

    But when a new terrifying curse is revealed, Evangeline finds herself entering into a tenuous partnership with the Prince of Hearts again. Only this time, the rules have changed. Jacks isn’t the only force Evangeline needs to be wary of. In fact, he might be the only one she can trust, despite her desire to despise him.

    Instead of a love spell wreaking havoc on Evangeline’s life, a murderous spell has been cast. To break it, Evangeline and Jacks will have to do battle with old friends, new foes, and a magic that plays with heads and hearts. Evangeline has always trusted her heart, but this time she’s not sure she can. . . .

    A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

    • 4/5
      Can I have it in English version please….. it’s reallly suspenseful and interesting.. loved the first book and waiting for the second one….
    • 5/5
      Finally a fantasy love story that isn't predictable! I also loved the multiple love interests! The character development is multiple characters and multiple live interests were on point. Give this a listen!
    • 4/5
      This book was good and that ending. Wow! Was not expecting that. I was so back and forth on jacks because he never made up his mind until the end. And then all that happened. I’ll be picking up book 3 immediately.
    • 5/5
      Wow, this series (so far) has been unlike anything I’ve ever read! And I DO NOT say that lightly. I had chills and almost tears which is a feat for me. It’ll give you a taste of every feeling you can feel, and it’ll cast you into a fantasy you’ve never imagined. Well done!
    • 5/5
      Achingly beautiful and exquisitely sad. Perfection. Im dead and have no idea how I will wait until September 2023
    • 4/5
      The last third of the book was very good and faster paced and ended on a delicious cliffhanger. The first 2/3 of the book could have been shorter, it had some repetition to it, and the overall plot felt thin. The atmosphere and world building were pretty good. I recommend to anyone age 13-19 or so. Which is its target audience. I also recommend it to anyone that wants a quick, entertaining read. The narrator was very good
    • 5/5
      I cannot listen to these books fast enough, but at the same time I don't want it to be over!

      Incredible! Didn't expect to love more than the first one but this is SO GOOD!
    • 5/5

    • 5/5
      I had already read most of this book in physical form, but was excited to be able to finish it in audio. Garber is one of my very favorite authors and this was beautifully read!
