Poison Princess
by Kresley Cole
I honestly would have given this book five stars if it wasn't for Jackson Deveaux. The story was amazing and clever. Cole did a great job in coming up with her own intriguing world, and I absolutely devoured this book. I desperately wanted to give it five stars, but I wasn't fond of the relationship between Evie and Jack. Yes, Jack's backstory does explain some of his foul behavior, and yes, Evie does treat him poorly at times. But instead of just being a rude jacka**, Jack was an alcoholic, domineering, and threatening figure that believed he had ownership over Evie. The times that he was caring and protective swayed my opinion slightly, but overall I believe his character was a bit too borderline abusive for my comfort. However, the brilliant plot easily made up for this. I was also thought the traits of the other characters helped make up for Jack. Especially the character, Matthew. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to somebody who was looking for fantasy and adventure, but not for one who is looking for a romantic novel.
