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…
From Goodreads:
Evie has her full powers as the Tarot Empress, and Jack was there to see it all. Teens reincarnated as the Tarot are in the throes of an epic battle for mankind. She must trust new allies against other Arcana, Bagmen zombies, post-apocalyptic storms, and cannibals. But she's also drawn to Death, the Endless Knight, who shares history with the Empress. She can't remember; he can't forget.
From Goodreads:
Can Evie convince her rival loves to work together? Their survival depends on it in this third book of #1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole's Arcana Chronicles, a nonstop action tale of rescue, redemption, and a revenge most wicked.
Heartbreaking decisions
Evie was almost seduced by the life of comfort that Death offered her—until Jack was threatened by two of the most horrific Arcana, The Lovers. She will do anything to save him, even escape Death's uncanny prison, full of beautiful objects, material comforts…and stolen glances from a former love.
Uncertain victory
Despite leaving a part of her heart behind with Death, Evie sets out into a frozen and perilous post-apocalyptic wasteland to meet up with her allies and launch an attack on The Lovers and the vast army they command. Such formidable enemies require a battle plan, and the only way to kill them once and for all may mean Evie, Jack, and Death allying. Evie doesn't know what will prove more impossible: surviving slavers, plague, Bagmen and other Arcana—or convincing Jack and Death to work together.
Two heroes returned
There's a thin line between love and hate, and Evie just doesn't know where she stands with either Jack or Death. Will this unlikely trio be able to defeat The Lovers without killing one another first?

My second review of Poison Princess
My Review:
Loved reading these books again! I've read Poison Princess 2 times before, but this is the first time that I'm going to be rereading the rest of the series. With the first times reading these books when they were published, I'd forgotten so much, so I'm so glad that I decided to reread these books before reading the final book!
Loved reading these books again! I've read Poison Princess 2 times before, but this is the first time that I'm going to be rereading the rest of the series. With the first times reading these books when they were published, I'd forgotten so much, so I'm so glad that I decided to reread these books before reading the final book!
The first book was Evie telling her story, and we had a few points where we were in the present, in his perspective, as she was telling it. Knowing that he's an Arcanca, that he's part of the craziness that she's talking about, just made things so much better!
The first book introduced us to Evie and Jack.The second introduced us to dead, to Aric. I felt so badly for the 3 of them, Evie has such strong bonds with each of them. Jackson's family falls in love once, and if it goes wrong, there'll be pain. And Aric can only touch Evie. So that's difficult to deal with!
Both Endless Knight and Dead of Winter have very evil cliffhangers! I briefly read the beginning of the next book, because I have to wait till June to read the rest of the series, but I can't wait to watch it play out, I love these characters and this world so much!
Loved reading these books, and I can't wait to finish out the series now!
