Poison Princess by Kresley Cole
5.0
I started this book with very high expectations. I had heard wonderful things about the author and the book's blurb had me immediately hooked. That being said, I was very happy with this read!
I am in love with the concept of this story. Teenagers who represent different Tarot cards? It's so different and unique! I have never read anything like it and that alone added a thrill when I started this book. It wasn't something that you find often in YA, like vampires, fallen angels, or faeries. Throughout the time when I was reading it, I was amazed with how normal all the paranormal elements seemed to be. I never thought oh, that's not believable, it always fit perfectly in the story.
The plot was also great! Though I was a little confused at first because of the switching POVs, I quickly caught on and was able to just enjoy the main story line. Everything was very well thought out. Nothing slipped through Kresley Cole's fingers; she kept everything controlled and in line. I really appreciated that when reading. All the details in the story matched up with each other perfectly. It felt very well organized and I enjoyed following Evie and Jack's adventure.
Speaking of Evie and Jack . . . they were two completely different characters and I love both of them. With their personalities in such contrast to each other, I never knew whether they were going to be fighting or getting along. Both options were equally entertaining and fun to read. The banter, while frustrating at times, gave a lot of insight on how they saw each other and how they saw themselves. For a lot of the book, I was upset because they had such warped views of each other. I hated that they stereotyped each other when they first met. I also was extremely frustrated with both of them for different reason. I was mad at Evie for keeping secrets from Jack when he was one of the only people she actually could confide in and I was made at Jack for shutting Evie out at times. I felt like they were so good together and the romantic tension between the two was heart racing. I just wanted them to get together and stay that way. I am excited to see where their relationship goes in the second book and how they both grow and mature.
With an amazing and unique idea, a thrilling and fast paced plot, and some really great characters, Poison Princess is a book that will hook you the moment you begin reading and take you on an exciting and heart-pounding journey of adventure, discovery, and romance. If you haven't bought it already, I highly recommend you do!
