There's a lot of set-up in POISON PRINCESS. But her secrets put Jack in grave danger. The only way Evie can get Jack to escort her is by promising to tell him her secrets. Together they travel toward Evie's grandmother, who should have some answers about what happened. She also joins up with Jack Deveaux, the aforementioned Cajun and a fellow survivor. But as she puts the pieces of her life together, she becomes more likeable. Her actions are understandable, but she's a mean girl.

Now, Evie is hard to like at the beginning of POISON PRINCESS. Then the Flash happened, slowly forcing Evie to understand her powers. She pretended to be her normal rich girl self despite her attraction to one of the new Cajun students. She returned to school after spending the summer in a mental institution due to her apocalyptic hallucinations. Thus POISON PRINCESS flashes back, and Evie tells what happened to her from the last week before the Flash to when she showed up on Arthur's doorstep.Įvie always knew that the Flash was going to happen, but she didn't know that she knew. He pretends to be kind, asking for her story of survival. The book begins when Evie Greene meets Arthur, a man with bad intentions, nearly a year after the Flash. The Arcana Chronicles combines urban fantasy and post-apocalyptic fiction in a compelling, menacing blend. Thus I was super excited to find out that Cole was going to write a young adult series. I love Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark paranormal romance series.
