I loved the storyline that Kresley Cole created for this YA series.Ģ. Examples of the cards are the Empress, Death, The Fool, The Magician, The Archer, etc. Each kid/card has unique powers that pertain to their Acana tarot card. The storyline of kids being actual Arcana cards and how they must battle against each other until the last kid/card stands.

Here is why I couldn’t stop reading/listening to the Poison Princess:ġ. I don’t want to spoil anything for readers who haven’t read the Arcana Chronicles by Kresley Cole. I won’t go into detail about the story because you can read the book’s description to find the premise. Yes, the first time I actually decided to listen to Poison Princess and loved the narrators because they brought the story and characters to life.

The first chapter alone was creepy and twisted, and I liked it. Storyline/My Thoughts: The first time I read it, I wasn’t prepared for where Kresley Cole would take me in this YA Dystopian/Fantasy series. Now that Kresley Cole is releasing the last book in the series, it’s time to reread the Arcana Chronicles for a refresher. I read Poison Princess for the first time in 2018. I loved her writing style and world-building in that series and knew I would enjoy her new YA Dystopian/Fantasy series. I’ve been a fan of Kresley Cole since I read her Immortals After Dark series, which I started reading in 2008/2009. But it's not always clear who is on which side. A group of twenty-two teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?Īs Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. She knows she can't totally depend on Jack. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future-and they're still happening. Sixteen-year-old Evangeline 'Evie' Greene leads a charmed life, until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations.
