In this second book in the Arcana Chronicles,
Evie, after coming into her powers as the Tarot card Empress, is struggling
with her emotions over Jack, the boy who has helped her along her
journey. Jack doesn’t know what to do
with Evie because she’s not who he thought she was and Evie can’t bear to be
without Jack, but at the same time knows that he isn’t safe in this war among
the Arcana. The Arcana are the 22
characters from the Tarot and they are in a war for immortality. The 22 characters fight with the powers
associated with the cards and Evie has the ability to get life out of the
apocalyptic land, and her direct opposition is Death, who kills everything he
touches, except Evie. Death and Jack
both want Evie and Evie finds herself caring for both of them.
This book is so creative and the story line is
action packed. The characters have great
chemistry and the writing draws you into the story so well. That said, the content is very adult and
completely unacceptable for a school library.
PUBLIC ONLY. Reviewer,
C. Peterson.
