When Elle's
father, a single parent and a big shot in corporate insurance, moves her to
yet another boarding school for senior year, Elle is disgusted when nothing
changes. Her night terrors don't go away, and, soon, despite her father's
caring calls and visits, Elle starts to believe she's losing her mind. She
knows she's being followed; a ribbon is tied around her doorknob, and there
are those cigarette butts that keep turning up on the doormat, in violation
of a strict smoking ban on campus. Then there's Bryan, an intriguing boy Elle
meets at a flea market and later finds out is a student at her school. Yet on
campus, he pretends he doesn't recognize her - until the day he divulges just
how much danger she's in. In her search for an answer to all the madness,
Elle unravels the truth about her dad's real identity, why someone has lied
to her all her life, and the terrifying truth that she may be the only one
who can save her from the one who's following her now.

Because
Elle’s father works and because he travels a lot, Elle is put into a boarding
school. She is hoping that this is the final one before she heads off to
college. Despite the change in scenery, her nightmares continue.
It’s
not long before she finds a reason to become paranoid that someone is out there
watching her. As soon as she and her roommate discover cigarette butts on the
doormat, her curiosity is peaked and she wonders who they really belong to.
With
horrible monsters invading her, Elle has programmed herself to go without sleep
as much as possible; mainly by using adrenaline and caffeine.
There
is some romance in the story, but it didn’t seem to play a major part in the
story. I’m not sure why, but I have not been feeling book romances lately. IDK.
Deceived was an exciting read
that kept me interested and on the edge of me seat throughout the whole book.
I
thought that the author did a nice job of planting little clues throughout the
book in order to raise suspicions and get the readers imagination going. The
pace of the story was a little slow at first, but sticking with it, definitely
paid off. The suspense/mystery was nicely done and had me constantly guessing.
RATING: 3 ½ out of 5.
** I received this book
on behalf of the publisher in exchange for nothing, but my honest opinion.
Thank you. **
