As soon as she leaves with Jackson, the narrative is transformed into a tense, well-paced adventure, where mishaps and bad luck drive Evie and Jackson apart as much as it drives them together. Their relationship is well-drawn, with inexperienced Evie always second-guessing Jackson's motives, and troubled Jackson always giving her plenty of reasons to second guess. The 'will-they-won't-they' element pulls you along almost as relentlessly as the rest of the plot, without ever feeling contrived.
This was a fantastic read, and the killer ending will have you pre-ordering the [[Endless Knight by Kresley Cole|second instalment]]. Highly recommended. We also have a review of Cole's [[Pleasure of a Dark Prince by Kresley Cole|Pleasure of a Dark Prince]].
