Publisher's summary

22 Arcana cards. 22 young assassins. May the best hand live. Introducing The Arcana Chronicles from number one New York Times best-selling author Kresley Cole.

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, 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 depend on 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 twenty-two teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But ii's not always clear who is on which side....

Emma Galvin is my favorite narrator :-)

What about Emma Galvin and Keith Nobbs ’s performance did you like?

Emma is an amazing Narrator. She always makes the characters have depth as she reads. So far I have listened to 6 books she has performed by different authors and enjoyed everyone.

Best book I have listened to in a long time

Would you listen to Poison Princess again? Why?

Yes it was such a great book I would absolutely re-listen

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jack, he is such a stron (and hot!) character

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

yes i loved it, best book I have listened to in a while. Really great story and characters. I cannot what for book 2!

Great!!

Loved it ! ...cant wait for the next book!
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time

Bad title good book

This is a classic case of don't judge a book by its cover, or dumb title. I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't help it. I hated that most of the male characters read like grade A misogynists, but don't worry the dolls have claws.

SO ADDICTIVE!!!!!

This was such a good book! It had me on the edge of my seat. I kept telling myself that I wouldn't read the whole book in one sitting but I did it was that good.

Even though at times you want to smack Jackson for being such an idiot you have to admire his effort. Likewise Evie too needs a good smack up side the head. the two of them need to learn to communicate, but you see both of them grow and learn how to trust each other.

When I first saw that there was going to be two narrators I was more than a little skeptical. But after listening to both of them preform I was a skeptic no longer. Kresley Cole has out done her self in this new series. It was everything I had hoped for and then some.

The ending was the best part. The last few chapters you had no idea what was going to happen. It is one of those series that you are impatient for the next book to come out to answer all of your questions and find out what happens next.

I have gone back and reread the whole book and it gets better with every read. Though the action and bulk of the story line doesn't start until the second part of the book it is still a good read. I would most defiantly suggest this series to my friends and encourage others to read this book.

I'm not entirely sure I can wait until October for the second installment of the series to come out.

Go Kresley, Go!

Nicely woven, good character development, interesting plot.

What about Emma Galvin and Keith Nobbs ’s performance did you like?

Ability to convey the right emotion at the right time.

Apocalypse next week...then we're in for a dry spell.

Excellent!!!

* SPOILER* I CRIED WHEN SHE HAD TO SAY GOODBYE TO HER MOTHER!!!

I loved how it had a start, middle and end with Mr creepy. The story was different from anything I've ever read. Entertaining and never boring. I absolutely love the voice of Evie. Great everything.
