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....

surprisingly addictive!

I was given this book as a birthday gift and so glad for it. It was a little difficult at times, and in some places predictable. However by the end it was all making sense. Cant wait to finish the rest. Not even waiting for my credit refill.

Terrific story and narration

I must admit the cover art (which is cheesy) of the book coupled with the name (Poison Princess) almost made me not bother to look at this book. However, because I discovered through the Scott Sigler books “Alive” and “Alight” that I really like narrator Emma Galvin, and this book was under the search of books narrated by her, I took a chance to see what it was about. It sounded good, the reviews sealed the deal. Turns out I totally enjoyed this story. Great character development, great action, good balance of twists and turns- I highly recommend it!

So amazing!

This was the most amazing read/listen. I loved the setting and how it all played out. I think my favorite character is the autistic boy, Matthew. He plays a really big role but is always regarded as simple. I didn’t expect the ending and can’t wait for the next book. I want her and Jack together so bad but I’m afraid it won’t be possible. And surely she will find her grandmother.

Thought I was going to hate it

So I started this book, and after the first 5 minutes I was 100% sure I was going to hate it. However, I was curious at where it was going so I stuck with it I ended up finishing it and starting the next book. Still not 100% sure what I think, but I finished the book and I wanted more lol.

Amazing!

Let me just start by saying, I've been a fan of Kresley Cole for sometime! The Arcana Chronicles do not disappoint! Great character development, great imagery as well. It's easy to fall in love with this series! In addition, Emma Galvin is now my absolute favorite Narrator! Because of this series I have now looked into other series that she has narrated!!!

Amazing!!!

This book was amazing. I was quite skeptical about it based on the goodreads.com where so many complained about the lack of sex but this book didn’t need it. It had an amazing, well thought out plot, deep characters and a back drop of an apocalyptic world. This book made me want to dig a basement and stock pile supplies.

Jackson was my favorite character, I loved his accent and personality. He was the epitome of a protector and yet he was damaged with more to him than met the eye.

I would definitely recommend this book and can’t wait for the next book!
