E is for Evie the Empress
Welcome to the A to Z Challenge! If you're visiting from the A to Z trail, please leave the link to your blog so I can return the favor!
This year I am visiting some of my favorite female characters from books I've read. I'm just doing my part to add to your long 'to-read' list! Happy Hopping!
The characters in this series are based on cards from the Tarot deck. Evie Greene discovers she is the big, bad Empress card reincarnated. She's been the evil of all evils, but this time around she plans to change that. Evie is a reluctant hero. She knows nothing about her past life, the battle that began with 'the Flash' or her love/hate relationship with Aric, the 'Death' card. I love Evie's character. She starts out portrayed as the perfect, blond girl, but like many people who seem perfect, she is hiding a major imperfection...that she spent 3 months in a mental hospital and that she isn't necessarily over what put her there.
I thought this series is fun, different, and a fast read.

She could save the world—or destroy it.
Sixteen year old Evangeline “Evie” Greene leads a charmed life—until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, killing everyone she loves, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future—and they’re still happening. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.
But she can’t do either alone.
With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can’t totally trust Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?
Who can Evie trust?
As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But it’s not always clear who is on which side…
In Poison Princess, New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole introduces a dark and intriguing world, full of unspeakable danger and irresistible romance.
