Poison Princess (The Arcana Chronicles #1)
By Kresley Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
"Remember my titles? I don’t get poisoned, I do the poisoning. I’m the Princess of it." -Evie
I's been such a long time since I read a book by Kresley Cole.I thought that Immortals After Dark books were perfect but after reading this one I do not think words are enough to describe how I fell about it....
The story begins with our main character,Evie,trying to decide whether or not to get in an old man's home who lures her with food and warmth.Come again???Time for the background story:
The world has been destroyed by the sun's deathly rays,a phenomenon the survivors call Flash.Millions of people have died and those who survived are either dying or wish they had.You see when the Flash occured it destroyed everything.Food and water are scarce and people are killing each other in oredr to feed.
Back to our story,after being persuaded that this old man named Arthur is harmless,Evie goes into his house and shares her story before and after the Flash.That's how the book progresses and that is also how we learn the facts too.We learn how she and her mother survived the Flash and how her mother died later,how she and Jack met again after the Flash and how they much later found others in their age with extraordinary abilities like Evie's.
I loved this book so much.I knew I had been right when I decided to read this.One might say that the story is hard to follow but I promise you that once you begin reading it,you will not be able to put it down.It has a nice flow,solid main and secondary characters,many mysteries and lots of secters.Oh,did I mention that those who like solving puzzles will definitely love it???
I 1000% recommend this book to everyone......
Enjoy!!!!!!
Blurb:
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….
