Reviews

[Aaroosh Khan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hello everyone! Our Deadly Deceptions is my YA dystopian Work In Progress. The story is very dear to me, and I've been working on it since May '24. I hope to publish it traditionally, and if not, I'll self-publish it to bring the story to you all <3

For people who loved The Hunger Games, Shatter Me, Maze Runner, and Divergent - this book might be your next fav ;)

I'll be forever grateful if you add it to your "want to read" and even drop a 5-star rating if you want to.

Thank you all for everything, and I hope to make this book one of my best.
