Don’t read unless you are ready to get seriously invested in a new series...
What just happened here? I couldn’t believe how fast I feel in love with Kael and Zyla. The twists and turns, the additional information as these kids grew to learn more about the devastating dystopian future around them... I was hooked from the beginning. And now I HAVE to read the next one to see just how deep into the insurrection this series goes!

Deception is a fantastic read. The main characters are wonderful and their struggle gave me all the feels. The society they live in is harsh and brutal but this is balanced with hope. The scenes are vivid, the action heart-stopping. Loved it and highly recommend.

Loved reading this book written in various voices
An unusual dystopian novel as it has each character define the story in their own voice. So the poor oppressed brother tell how they scrabble to survive. The wicked guards tell about the thrills they get torturing their victims. The resistance made up of good guards and various poor and rich recount their visions of a better world...and their machinations to enable the change...
Somehow the brother and sister are to be the catalysts of some foretold...miracle....next book?

Quite a deception!
Kael and Zyla barely exist in the desperately poor town Rysa. They have the bad fortune to be branded as the lowliest caste, as Grays. But fate deals them a hand. Will the cards turn in their favor?
