Emily McIntire
From BookTok sensation Emily McIntire comes a dark and delicious fractured fairy tale reimagining of The Wizard of Oz. A woman can be great, and terrible too. Evelina Westerly has always been the bad guy. As the brains, brawn, and botanist behind her family's drug empire, she's her father's ruthless secret weapon. With her days divided between perfecting her greenhouse, seeking revenge for her sister's murder, and putting a gun to the head of anyone in her way, Evelina doesn't have time for anything else. Especially not for love. After a one-night stand with a gorgeous man at a nightclub, she's sated her urges and is back to her criminal ways. That is, until that same man shows up as the new Westerly lackey...under a totally different name. But Nicholas Woodsworth's real secret is much more dangerous than an alias. He's an undercover DEA agent, and he's hell-bent on destroying the drug trade that devastated his family. When he realizes the youngest daughter of the Westerly empire is the same woman he's been fantasizing about since that night at the club, attraction wars violently with disgust. Evelina embodies everything he's against, and he's been sent here to be her downfall. Yet the more they learn about the darkness in each other's hearts, the more alike they seem, and when hatred turns to something more, Nicholas will have to decide whether he can love a wretched woman, even if it means bringing both of their lives to ruin.

"This is prolly by far my least favorite book :/
Idk it just didn’t click for me. Maybe cuz I’m not that big or familiar to the wizard of oz"

"HOLY WOW 5/5⭐️ This book couldn’t have been better. Thing start off spicy at the beginning and get spicier the more it goes on. The suspense gripped me the whole way through. All of the big twists I didn’t see coming at the end. This was just…wow. Perfection!!!!"

"I am a long time lover of the musical, Wicked. With the recent release of the Wicked movie, paired with discovering this book is a “fractured fairy tale” inspired by The Wicked Witch of the West, I knew I had to dive in. It was so fun finding all the Oz references and trying to figure out who each character was supposed to be from the original. Our FMC, Evelina is most definitely wicked…or rather, wretched. I loved watching the dynamic unfold between her and Nicholas, who is an undercover DEA agent. The spice in this book is not for the faint of heart. Check your trigger warnings and proceed at your own caution.

"Honestly I had high hopes for this book as the 1st 2 in the series were hands down some of the best books I’ve read! This was a great book but thought the first half was on the slower side. Still recommend though Emily is an incredible writer and truly makes you fall in love for her Villians 🖤. Suspenseful/romance enemies to lovers with a wizard of oz twist."

"I really enjoyed reading this book! I felt like this book was fast paced and it was very easy for me to get lost in story. I loved how Nick & Evelina’s love story was fast paced in opinion. I strongly recommend this book. 10/10 💜💚 {21+}"

"This may not be my favorite book in the series, but it will always have five stars. This book was amazing even though people think it’s the worst book in the series. I have to disagree. This book will forever have a place in my heart. "

"This didn’t click with me. Like Hooked and Scarred, I love the characters dynamics. This one isn’t so fun as much. I love how there’s forbidden romance here kinda. Would I read it again? Maybe. There’s parts in the story where I almost skipped but I decided against it. "
