Blurb Description: Can Evie convince her rival loves to work together? Their survival depends on it in this third book of #1 New York Timesbestselling 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 perilous post-apocalyptic wasteland to meet up with her allies and launch an attack on the Lovers. Such formidable enemies require a battle plan, and the only way to kill them 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...?
ENDINGS LIKE THAT NEED TO BE OUTLAWED.
BECAUSE I’M DYING AND YET, THE HOPE OF MORE OF THIS MIGHT BE
THE ONLY THING KEEPING ME ALIVE.
Actually, scratch that. I’m most definitely DEAD inside
because this book – this series – is EVERYTHING and it just killed me.
The Arcana Chronicles
is about a game. (OF MURDERING EVERYTHING IN ME. I’m kidding.) A game where twenty two teenagers
handpicked by the Gods and gifted with supernatural abilities depicted on Tarot
Cards play for immortality. The winner doesn’t age in the centuries between
games, but only at the price at killing all the other Arcana.
Of course, each game has to have obstacles apart from the
actual ‘bad guys’ themselves and this one consists of bagmen – zombies that eat
blood and whose touch turns you into one of them – and slavers and armies and
the plague.
In the middle of a post-apocalyptic world, is Evangeline
Greene. The Empress, the Poison Princess, the Red Witch has formed an alliance
for everyone to step out of the game – to not kill but to take control of their
own fates and live their lives out.
Except in a centuries long killing game for immortality in a
post-apocalyptic world, can you really just stop killing?
I LOVE THIS STORY OH MY GOD.
I’m a sucker for bad boys (see: Rhysand from ACOTAR) so, if
you throw TWO BAD BOYS IN THE PICTURE, and one of them DEATH himself, I will be
in love, before I ever started reading. ALSO, THEY’RE BOTH AWESOME. AND
SLIGHTLY MESSED UP. AND GORGEOUS. AND WONDERFUL FIGHTERS. AND POWERFUL. (I
could go on.)
While I loved the boys, however, Evie and the boys and the
fact that they were basically in a pissing/ marking their territory contest and
the fact that she didn’t say anything was UGH. Like STAND UP FOR YOURSELF. You’re
not property to be owned, just because you married someone in a past life doesn’t
mean you’re married now. MEH.
Another cool thing I did love was the different Arcana and
their powers. I MEAN HOW COOL IS TIME TRAVEL AND ELECTRICITY AND POISON AND
WINGS AND A KILLING TOUCH AND MIND CONTROL? Powers have ALWAYS fascinated me
and I love everyone’s powers, even if there really was only one scene where we
saw a lot of them use it.
I’m craving more action, less romance in book four.
I want Evie to UNLEASH the Red Witch.
I want more of this series, I want more from this series, -
I JUST WANT EVERYTHING, OKAY?
Yes, I make no sense.
But you should go DEFINITELY read this. NOW.
Have you ever used Tarot Cards?
Do you believe in Tarot Cards?
If you could have ONE superpower, what would it be?
HAVE YOU READ THIS SERIES, BECAUSE I NEED TO RANT AND SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.
