"How can a man be worse than a beast?" After being trapped in the cursed town of Du Ciel for seven years, Isabelle's live was only going to get worse. Because she is turning eighteen, which puts her in danger of being sent in the next Offering to the Beast, her father pushes her to marry without love to save herself. However, since Isabelle is poor, and the other four girls that are of age happen to be from very prestigious families, she believes she will be sent by default. This leaves her with one of two choices: give up her freedom and marry without love to save herself, or risk being sent into the depths of the Castle where a monstrous Beast lurks and an unknown fate awaits her. But, what if the Beast was the least of her problems?
It was a struggle getting through this book. I honestly could not believe all of the numerous grammatical errors and run on sentences. Many everyday common words were outright misspelled, over and over again, like the manuscript was never proofread. It could have been a good story had it been edited properly and condensed.
Jess is a dear friend of mine and I won’t be biased because she is, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Evermore. It was an immersive retelling and was such a fun read. Especially during fall, truly the best time for fantasy. Evermore is on kindle unlimited (wink wonk) and Jess has been working on another book called switched and I cannot wait for her to finish it (kindle unlimited has been a blessing lol) Very proud of her and can’t wait to read more of her work!!
