Can Evie convince her rival loves to work together? Their survival depends on it in this third book of #1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole’s Arcana Chronicles, a nonstop action tale of rescue, redemption, and a revenge most wicked.

Heartbreaking decisions

Evie was almost seduced by the life of comfort that Death offered her—until Jack was threatened by two of the most horrific Arcana, the Lovers. She will do anything to save him, even escape Death’s uncanny prison, full of beautiful objects, material comforts…and stolen glances from a former love.

Uncertain victory

Despite leaving a part of her heart behind with Death, Evie sets out into a perilous post-apocalyptic wasteland to meet up with her allies and launch an attack on the Lovers. Such formidable enemies require a battle plan, and the only way to kill them may mean Evie, Jack, and Death allying. Evie doesn’t know what will prove more impossible: surviving slavers, plague, Bagmen and other Arcana—or convincing Jack and Death to work together.

Two heroes returned

There’s a thin line between love and hate, and Evie just doesn’t know where she stands with either Jack or Death. Will this unlikely trio be able to defeat The Lovers without killing one another first...?

Penelope's Review

Oh boy... the love triangle HEATS UP here!! While we do get some more backstory into other Arcana such as the Lovers and The World, the romance takes front stage in this one. And I'm not mad about it. Now, I can firmly say that I am Team Jack - despite the last book and beginning of this book tugging my heart to Death. I was reminded of why Jack is the boy for me, and I hope that I stay loyal for the rest of the series lol! 

The three of them working together was super interesting - so much tension omg. So curious to see what happens here... other than that, this book was crazy with the twists and turns!! I get that people are annoyed with Evie and her indecisiveness and I will agree that the back and forth took up much of this book... but damn with choices like these I don't even blame her lol! 

She ends up making a decision but then BAM - cliffhanger ending. Like of EPIC proportions. This series keeps me on my damn toes that's for sure. Another addition to an awesome series, looking forward to the rest!

Rating: 5/5 Devils!
