THIS REVIEW WILL BE SHORT AND SWEET I DID NOT LIKE THIS BOOK

1 star

Synopsis (Goodreads):

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 are actually visions of the future—and they’re still happening. 

But she can’t do either alone.

Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate, the gorgeous and dangerous Jackson Deveaux, for help.

As Jackson and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call and discover that Evie is not the only one with special powers. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and as the battle between good and evil intensifies, it is not always clear who is on which side...

---------------------------------------------

What in the actual fuck did I just read? I had so much hope for this book it was just one of the worst things I've read in so long. sadly This book was awful. First of all, that apocalypse they're talking about in the synopsis? Happens at 50%. If there's one thing I can't stand it's when the synopsis spoils the book. My main problem with this book though was the characters. So poorly written. Evie couldn't do shit for herself and is completely useless besides knowing that this apocalypse was gonna happen. Majority of this book was just her being indecisive about Jack. Also gotta say this 'wrong-side of the Bayou boy' (like who the fuck approved of that for the synopsis ahaha) was one of the worst male leads I've ever read in YA. He was controlling, dominant, and rude. I will never erase from my head the moment when Sabrina enters and Jack says to Evie: "Maybe you're not the only girl left for me." Like excuse me? So we are supposed to root for a guy who doesn't even actually want this character, only because she's the last decent looking chick? In this books defence it was written at the time when dominant males were totally hot, but I will say that it's just written wrong. Dominant males can be sexy, but there's a time and a place in books for it. Jack directly telling Evie she is useless does not make me want them together, and I'm sorry but did it make ANYONE want them together? No? Didn't think so. Overall, this book had a lot of promise. Rich story ideas that just fell short and sidetracked by irrelevant, sexist romance. Tarot cards are cool, but I suggest just looking into the story of that rather than read this shit. Rating: 1/10 Parental Rating: (I'd suggest just don't) 16+
