Deception of the Future
Months after the ambush in Tamrin, Ellie is starting to piece herself back together. But the prophecy still looms, threatening to break her before she can rise.
Hoping to escape a fate she never chose, Ellie and her friends set out to find the hidden kingdom of Menath—only to make a devastating discovery.
Left behind in the human realm, Lucas and Jen refuse to let Ellie go. As they fight to reach her across worlds, their journey becomes a race against time and a true test of loyalty that could change everything.
With the fragile grip on her new reality unraveling, Ellie must confront the darkness rising within her—a force so powerful that, if left unchecked, it will consume her and bring ruin to both realms.

In the aftermath of Eliana Whitmore, tragic loss of her beloved soulmate. The second book in the series, Deception, reveals her struggle of how she’s trying to navigate the loss of her beloved Aaron and the responsibilities that have been thrust upon her. Her journey is both riveting and emotionally elevating to read as she struggles to validate her emotional healing and emotional growth at the same time with the care and love of her companions, Shiro, Cheon, Lacey, Sebastian and Gareth. It is a time riveting book that pulls the reader over along to each step of Eliana’s journey. Aberge's gift at writing is further expounded upon, as she develops character growth in Eliana, but also her companions. The sub-plots within the story allow the companion characters to come alive, and demonstrate that they too have a stack in the game. It is an inviting tale and a very engaging story that the readers are unable to put down, as each page reveals another layer in the fast-paced journey of how Eliana and her company come to understand her true meaning and purpose in saving the angelic world. Julia’s true skills are seen in how she drops a major twist within the book, which throws Eliana and her friends into a tale spin in their mission. The mirroring sub-story that transpires is so well written that the pain and internal struggle is seen through each character. With the loss of Aaron, she knew and loved, she is torn between her duty and her heart. It is the most amazing tale, and fascinating for the reader to read. I was not disappointed, savoring each page turned, and the emotional journey that Eliana Whitmore underwent as she searches for family, friends, and soul-mate, but also the worlds. I found the book to be a fantastic read.

I am not ok!!
First of all, thank you Julia for the review copy of temptations and also the ARC copy of deception.
I would’ve been very sad to miss out on that story.
I love the world you did build. I love the vibes.
I want to be friends with Lucas and Sebastian from the bottom of my heart. (They give me Simon (City of Bones) and Cassian (ACO-„place which book you want here“) Vibes!
Who read my review of temptations knows that I had to nag a little about typos and things that should’ve been edited out. So here in this ARC I was hardly searching, but as Julia had promised, the writing improved a lot (you could actually feel that) and BY THE CREATOR the story had me from the very beginning to the very end. Leaving me unwell and with swollen eyes from crying.
The cliffhanger? Excuse me? I need book 3 now - knowing that I will probably be unwell again.
This is a big big recommendation from me for everyone who loves a good story, where not the romance but the relationships between the protas in general are in the focus. The story is absolutely driven by the characters and I love them all.

ARC REVIEW
In this book, we follow Ellie as she's training. With her friends, she starts a quest to find other Empaths like her. Due to this quest, they get separated and face different quests and difficulties.
I liked Shiro's loyalty. This dog is amazing. Chehon is the ultimate green flag. I loved him. If you like green flags, you should meet this character. Sebastian, the team's charmer. He can be serious and playful at the same time. Also, his sacrifice, I wanted to scream. Then we have Lacey the best, best friend. She's amazing. And Gareth, the quiet and serious guy of the team.
Fights, secrets, a love triangle, and unique characters. This book has everything. And the ending, what was that?
