For Kassidy Bell and her friends, the race is on to keep ahead of the Cleaners, reach Broken Cove and destroy the coffins. But tensions are running high within the group and the voices inside Kassidy’s head are becoming stronger and filling her mind with suspicious thoughts about her friends. Who is Doshia? Which of her friends is hiding the demon? Knowing her life is in danger in more ways than one, Kassidy puts her trust and hopes into one of the voices she can hear in her head and decides to split from the group and go it alone. But has she put her trust into the wrong hands? Is Kassidy being manipulated by her own paranoia or is there something else more sinister twisting her thoughts? 'Deceived' (Book 5) The heart-thumping conclusion to 'The Kassidy Bell Series'.

Hey cool....I'm 1st to review. Obviously I was engrossed, because I finished it in 2 days (had to work or it probably would have been 1) I really liked this book! Not to be a jerk, but the last book lagged a little for my tastes. This book kicked it up a notch.....it really shifted the action into high gear and drew me back into the series. Some series start to fizzle out after the 1st few books, getting bogged down with filler and going stale.... the plot lines become unoriginal, regurgitated and obvious....but I'm glad that didnt happen here.

The mystery with Doshia, and trying to figure out where he was/who he was became very puzzling.....there was more then one plausible option and I had to fight not to read ahead and spoil the surprise.... I was vacillating on who it was for most the book. Lots of good tension there. Plus, there was some good character development, adding to the back stories on Ben/Quinn and Jude/Eras which I really enjoyed.

So far my fave book in this series has been the 1st one, but I would rank this installment right up there with Drug. The drug trial thing is such a new, fresh take, it drew me in and kept me captivated. Not sure if this is the last book or not, the way it wrapped up I feel like it could go either way... but if there are more (and I do hope there are) I will definitely be reading them!

Pre ordered this book as I really enjoyed the previous 4 books. I made myself read only about 5-10 pages a night to prelong the story as I didn't want Kassidy's journey to end. It didn't disappoint and had me gripped. Thank you Lynda O' Rourke for a great series. X

The kassidy Bell series has been a series that has had me chomping at the bit from the outset and this book did not disappoint!!!

This book answers a lot of questions that have arisen from previous books it’s a lot to get your head around as you learn which Demons belong to which person and learn all about their past but this keeps u hooked as the story unfolds and the reader is kept guessing right till the very end!

I will be re reading these bad boys in the future and know I’ll enjoy them a second time as much as I did the first!!!

I’m really hoping there will be a last book as would love to find out what happens in the future for those who survived (naming no names!!) and if something will be Found that was missing in the end (naming no names again lol)

Thank you for an amazing series and look forward to reading more from you in the future.

5*s from me, would give 100 if I could xxxxxxxz

Wow, wow, wow - what a fantastic conclusion to an amazing series. Lynda O'Rourke fans have waited so long for the final instalment of this series and it absolutely was worth the wait and did not disappoint.

Since book 1 was recommended to me I have been hooked, but I have to say that this final book is by far the best in the series, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and could not put the book down.

Kassidy, Raven, Jude and Ben are racing against the clock, they need to escape the cleaners and Dr Livingstone, and find out in whom Doshia is hiding, could he really be in one of Kassidy's friends, can she trust any of them?

I am not usually into this genre at all, but this series is one of a kind and I would not hesitate to recommend it, I would give it 100 stars if I could - give it a go, you will not regret it.

What an amazing end to the series, it was so tense and I didn't know what was going to happen next.
We follow both kassidy and Ben's views as they try and find a way out and how to stop this once and for all, but they need to find the original coffins of where the demons bodies lay and destroy those who want evil. On the journey we find out more about the past of the demons and who they were before and what led to the demise of their former selves. The battles, the twists and turn, the whole adventure had me hooked, and it was a perfect ending.

Follow the eerie continuation of Cassidy Bell as her father friends battle demons to find freedom from their curse. Don't look back of slow down. The cleaners might get you! Road for is a lot creepier now than it used to be!
