Kresley Cole’s New York Times bestselling Arcana Chronicles series comes to a spectacular and fiery conclusion in this final installment.

When even the gods hold their breath . . . To defeat the Emperor and Fortune, Evie, the great Empress of Arcana, must repair her bond with Death, despite the earth-shattering developments between them.

And danger lurks in every shadow . . . Their allies—a sea witch, a band of roving warriors, and more than a couple of rogues—overcome terrifying obstacles to help them. But when Jack makes a shocking discovery, the fallout threatens to tear their alliance apart.

One girl could deliver salvation—or doom. If the Empress and her friends can remain united, will their powers be enough to defeat a catastrophic curse on the world, or will hellfire reign forever? The end looms for us all until the best hand wins. . . .

I really enjoyed this. I actually put off reading it for over a year now, not wanting the story to end. But I brazened it out and I’m glad I did.
Worth the wait

It’s here and I literally cried happy tears when it popped up in my e-reader! From the Grave by Kresley Cole is the long awaited last novel in the young adult series The Arcana Chronicles. Oh and was this worth the wait. I first read this last spring when it came out and then just re-read it.
It’s the last book so FINALLY we know who Evie picks. No spoilers no worries! There are so many plot twists and turns in this book (new ones and old ones). Everytime you solve one puzzle a new one pops up or an old one re appears but your questions will be answered in time. The love triangle twists and turns until it reaches its resolution as well. The BIG question remains though; are you Team Aric/Death, Team Jack, OR Team Evie?
I will say this book is not really a stand alone. You need to read the other books to understand this one. The plot can be complicated. It is sooo worth reading this one and all of them though. As always with finale books fans can be mixed if it didn’t go „their“ way BUT I typically enjoy a book as long as it is well written and an excellent story. It’s the author’s book and it ended how THE AUTHOR wanted it too. Which is how it should be! I personally think it ended perfectly for Evie
I HIGHLY recommend this book and series! Thank you Kresley Cole! You are one of my favorites and this was excellent!
BEAUTIFUL

I am… ughhh I am BEYOND speechless! The emotional rollercoaster I just stepped off of still has me reeling. I know people say it all the time, but this final installment WAS WORTH THE WAIT. Every time I thought the story would go one way, Kresley threw in a curveball I didn’t see coming and it smacked me silly. I ugly cried. I felt my soul cry. I had to put it down to try and deal with what I read only to snatch it back up and tearfully read through— if you’ve read any of Kresley’s stories before you KNOW exactly what I am talking about. Kresley, thank you for giving us this fantastical end.
Amazing!
