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....

Awesome!

I hate it when the heroine is a big whiny, crybaby but Evie blew my socks off at the end. She has to be the most BA literary character ever! Katniss wouldn't stand a chance.

Better than expected

I love Kresley Cole, but I'm not a big fan of young adult novels so I was pleasantly surprised when the story hooked me from the first. It had a refreshing lack of the whiny angst that I had come to associate with YA. Emma Galvin did a great job. I loved her husky, youthful sound. She really brought the story to life for me.
I'm recommending this book to everyone!! It's AMAZING!!!

Amazing!

What did you like best about this story?

The story is completely immersive, dense with epic world-building, and witty dialogue. I'm completely hooked on the story and on to the next book today.

Have you listened to any of Emma Galvin and Keith Nobbs ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I'm in love with Emma's performance. Her acting and versatility is amazing. I'd give her a million stars if I could. And I'll be seeking out more books performed by her.

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.
