You know it's good when you're not even a romance fan, but you still can't put it down. It's the kind of book that truly deserves to find its target readers.
I had the pleasure of reading Deceptive in its early stages and seeing it translated and published for a wider audience brought me so much joy!! Meeting the characters again felt like rediscovering a hidden gem, I was reminded of how real and complex they were and how much their story tugs at one's heartstrings. I knew beforehand that I wasn't about to read a typical fluffy love story, but rather a dark, twisted one full of flawed, fascinating people, yet I was amazed at the intricate universe Alek Voss created. Alicia is a particularly compelling protagonist and I really enjoyed being inside her head. The book leans into dark romance territory (with just the right amount of spice), but what sets it apart is how it flirts with psychological thriller elements. The writing is witty and sharp, and the balance between action-packed scenes and emotionally charged flashbacks was *so* satisfying to get through, although some chapters wrecked me💔 The plot kept me hooked the entire way through and I enjoyed every page.
I would highly recommend this book to dark romance readers looking for something a little different. If you enjoy stories featuring undercover agents, danger and seduction, this is the book for you. Just proceed with caution.

I just finished this book, and I have to say, it completely drew me in. At first, the masquerade ball was a bit confusing, but after that, I couldn’t put it down. Those five hours of reading had everything — emotion, tension, and drama.
I felt sympathy for the main character because of her past, but also frustration at some of her choices. The story is full of surprising moments, subtle jealousy, and possessiveness that keeps you hooked. And wow, some events really made me feel intense emotions — anger, excitement, and suspense all at once!
Mark immediately caught my attention and kept me captivated throughout. The book stays gripping until the very last page.

A fast paced spy story with a promising plot. It sucks you right in from the start and at the end you'll be begging for more. I just gave it four stars because it's not a genre i'm normal into, but it got me out of a reading slump.

The writing is sharp, the characters unforgettable, and the plot… let’s just say I’ll be thinking about that ending for a long time.

This book didn’t give me butterflies. It gave me heart palpitations. Twisted, intense, and addictive

I came for the romance. I stayed for the psychological mind games. Deceptive is unlike anything I've read before.

The tension? Unreal. The violence? Brutal. The romance? Deliciously toxic. I couldn’t put it down.
