Supremely pretty girl, problems at home, meets delicious bad boy and falls desperately in love despite her best intentions.
Thank goodness I stuck it out and found that in fact, Kresley Cole managed to wrap up a twisty, complex, exciting story under such a placid pretext!
Enter stage, Eva Green. Cheerleader (yeah could of called that), socialite (and again) and seer of the apocalypse (now we're getting somewhere). Eva is desperate to start over and live a semblance of a normal, teenage prom queen life, if she could just stop having visions of the world ending.
Add to that a new complication, Jackson. Ultimate bad boy, sexy French Cajun accent, determined on getting under her skin. Or into her pants.

If you want a story that's not as it seems, this is the book for you.
It may take a few chapters to get into, and I have to admit that Jackson can be a pretty big ass at points, but I guarantee if you stick it out, you'll never see the end coming.
“The corners of his lips curled. “You and your secrets. Ah, peekôn, just when I think I’ve solved one mystery about you, up comes another one. I will figure you out one day. En garde, cher. Consider yourself warned.”
Pick a card, any card, and it may just save you in the end
