Reviews for The Deception

[Imogen · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Started out strong, with an interesting scenario. Unfortunately it quickly descended into amateur-seeming writing, constantly over-explaining and insulting the reader's intelligence. There's no character development, and all of the players lack self awareness. They're also bizarrely incurious, leaving the story completely devoid of suspense. By the end, it is absolutely dripping in sanctimony.

[thelma · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Started off strong but was too predictable and lost that spice in the middle
Too linear in its story about good and evil
I don’t hate the book though
