Evangeline "Evie" Greene has it all; she's popular, is
dating the hottest guy in school and has great friends.
What people don't know about her is that she's also being
plagued by delusions and nightmares about the world ending.
When Evie's visions come true in an apocalyptic event
called 'The Flash', Evie realizes she isn't crazy and has
been having visions of the future. Now one of the few
survivors left, Evie has no choice but to rely on Jackson
Deveaux, her from the wrong side of the bayou classmate who
has made his disdain for Evie clear.
Jack is everything Evie says she doesn't want in life. He's
a criminal, crude and has a bad attitude about everything.
Never ones to get along, Evie is surprised when Jack agrees
to protect her as she leaves her home on a mission. Unsure
about Jack and her feelings for him, Evie reluctantly
leaves with him as they try to sort out Evie's visions.
When it becomes clear to Evie that in order to survive she
has to take part in an epic battle between good and evil
which involves twenty-one other teens with only one
emerging as the victor, things go bad from worse. Time is
running out and Evie doesn't know who to trust. One wrong
move and they could all be dead.
Kresley Cole is quickly turning into an author that can do
no wrong. Already a must read author in the adult
paranormal genre with her Immortals After Dark series, Cole
is now conquering the young adult world and she's doing it
with a huge bang. Cole's young adult debut, POISON
PRINCESS, is a page-turning post-apocalyptic adventure
which will have chills running down your spine even while
you're begging for more. Jack is the embodiment of the age
old bad boy that mother's warn their daughter's about, and
his and Evie's relationship, both good and bad, burn up the
pages. Cole has a sure-fire hit on her hands with POISON
PRINCESS and with so many questions left unanswered, the
wait for the sequel will be long and excruciating, but I
imagine well worth while.
#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, 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 it’s
not always clear who is on which side….
