Truly a fantastic Young Adult novel from an author I wasn't convinced should be writing YA. I love Kresley Cole, even though the Immortals After Dark series is admittedly formulaic and predictable (and the most recent additions have been meh...like Lothaire (that rat bastard http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...). Poison Princess had the exact same formula actually. Boy and girl hate each other, are forced to be alone together, boy saves girl's life repeatedly but treats her like garbage, they keep secrets, fall for each other, then their secrets are finally revealed and they realize they need each other no matter the consequences. Usually it all works out perfectly with a pretty bow in the end. But there's nothing wrong with a formula! They're entertaining. 
 Evie reminded me entirely of Emmaline from Hunger Like No other, and I have zero problem with this. Sheltered, prissy, and pretty much good for nothing until they realize how badass they always should have been. What young adult couldn't use THAT kind of story? Compared to so many of these YAs where the heroine is a blank, personality-less canvas who is only interesting because of her supernatural boyfriend, Evie with her claws and scent and "Come touch, but you'll pay a price" pretty much rules. 
 Also, the Arcana Tarot cards idea is awesome. I looked up the cards (who didn't?) and kept guessing who might be whom. THAT makes for fun reading.
