Day Zero (The Arcana Chronicles, #3.5) by Kresley Cole

SUMMARY 

Arcana means secrets, and these Arcana Chronicles short stories from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole are filled with them. Experience firsthand the beginning of the end and behold the apocalypse through the eyes of characters you only thought you knew. 

Ashes to ashes . . .
Evie Greene’s story of the Flash is just one of many. All over the world, those connected in some way to the lethal Arcana game—like Death, Jack, and Fortune—must first survive a horrifying night of blood and screams. 

We all fall down.
Some will have to grapple with new powers; all will be damned to a hellish new existence of plague, brutality, desolation, and cannibalism. Find out who they lost, why they endure, and what they sacrificed in order to live past Day Zero. . . . 

MY REVIEW 

Awesome book that describes the 22 players in the Arcana games, i.e. the 22 major Arcana cards. Some of them where barely introduced in previous books, so this book offers valuable insight. 
For some of them, you can also read what happened during day 0, when the Flash almost destroyed earth. Mostly sad stories with bitter endings.

Highly recommended if you love this series.

Note: Mystery surrounds the Hanged Man card and who is really Jack Deveaux.
