Poison Princess by Kresley Cole

2.0

I think this is going to be a book that you either hate or you love, with very little in between. I did not like this book. Evie is a spoiled girl who has never really had to do anything on her own and spends the book making bad choices and relying on other people. After all of Kresley Cole's strong, spunky women in her adult series, Evie was a major letdown. I liked Jackson, and thought he carried the story, but the other characters kept trying to get him out of the picture because he was a lowborn Cajun and he is not 'Arcana'. The book was pre- and post-apocolyptic, with a very depressing look on the world after the "Flash". The storyline itself was a bit confusing, and forced me to pull out my old tarot set I had picked up in college to try to make sense of some of the things I read. Perhaps Poison Princess will do great with the teenagers, but for any of her adult readers I think it will be a bust.
