It's hard not to be enchanted by any tale Stephanie Garber chooses to write, with her masterful storytelling, and her infuriating way of fooling with our pulse rates.

*Culturefly review*

The most deliciously moody, romantic, and enchanting tale awaits. Once Upon a Broken Heart is a captivating tale, perfect for lovers of romantic fantasy
*LoveReading.co.uk*

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*
