Life is fleeting. No one knows that better than Jasper.
After failing his mission, Jasper puts his trust in an unseen source in order to reverse the magic that's been done.
Unfortunately, magic of that magnitude has consequences. Only time will tell what those are, and what they could mean for magic... as well as Jasper's heart.
This is the second book in Danielle Young's Jade Ring series and even though it's shorter than Guided, it's not lacking... at all.
As I may have mentioned (actually, I think it was more of a warning) Guided ends in a cliff hanger. Thankfully, Deceived picks up where Guided left off. Unsurprisingly, that means that it starts with a heart wrenching intensity. Just so you know, that intensity doesn't ease up or slow down through most of the book. Jasper makes a decision in those first few minutes that will pretty much lock Jo's destiny with his in an unexpected way.
My heart broke for these two characters. They obviously cared about each other, but because of their 'magical' connection, neither one of them were sure what was real and what was a product of what they had gone through. That was doubly heart breaking for Jo, who had to re-live memories that she had lost.
There were quite a few revelations and more than a few twists and turns and a couple of characters that my opinion changed about... almost. One thing I know for sure is that I'm going to have to do a complete re-read of this series before the next book is released... which I'm hoping is sooner rather than later ;)
