#1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole introduces The Arcana Chronicles, post-apocalyptic tales filled with riveting action, the dark mysticism of Tarot cards, and breathtaking romance.
She could save the world--or destroy it.
Sixteen year old Evangeline"Evie" Greene leads a charmed life--until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, killing everyone she loves, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future--and they're still happening. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.
But she can't do either alone.
With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can't totally trust Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?
Who can Evie trust?
As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But it's not always clear who is on which side...
In Poison Princess, New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole introduces a dark and intriguing world, full of unspeakable danger and irresistible romance.
I loved so many things about this book! I thought that the use of tarot cards corresponding with human counterparts that have certain strengths and weaknesses was clever and very well done. I have never seen this done in a book before so it was a fresh and exciting concept for me to sink my teeth into. I thought that the author did a great job of having visions/drawings correspond with things so as to make the reader almost believe that characters were crazy.
The world building had good bones to it but I would have liked for more information than just for the author to describe a few things about some of the results of the ancient prophesy. Other than some lack of detail, that was easy to come to terms with the only other issue that I had with the book was the main character. I found her stubborn and naive. I realize that she is trying to cope with a truckload of crap but I would like to think that she would have more common sense than she did. She grows as the book progresses to the point where she isn't as whiny or annoying. This leads me to believe that the sequel will be better due to continued character growth!
