Goodreads Summary:
Intrigue abounds in this hotly anticipated sequel to The Kiss of Deception!
Held captive in the barbarian kingdom of Venda, Lia and Rafe have little chance of escape. Desperate to save her life, Lia's erstwhile assassin, Kaden, has told the Vendan Komizar that she has the gift, and the Komizar's interest in Lia is greater than anyone could have foreseen.
Meanwhile, nothing is straightforward: there's Rafe, who lied to Lia, but has sacrificed his freedom to protect her; Kaden, who meant to assassinate her but has now saved her life; and the Vendans, whom Lia always believed to be barbarians. Now that she lives amongst them, however, she realizes that may be far from the truth. Wrestling with her upbringing, her gift, and her sense of self, Lia must make powerful choices that will affect her country... and her own destiny.

Please do! I promise you won't regret it!!!
DeleteEven after culling out my summer reading list to make it more realistic, I kept Kiss of Deception on the list. I can't wait to finally get to it. I hope that this second in series is everything that you are hoping.
ReplyDeleteYay for still having it on your list! I have high hopes for this one~ I've heard it's excellent ;)

YESS!! Quite excited about this one and I just want that damned love triangle to GO AWAY!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED THIS BOOK OMG I HOPE YOU DO TOO!!!! The ending isn't THAT cliffhanger-y, though I heard a lot of people saying that. And the love triangle is less present ish? Thank goodness because I HATE love triangles. LOL. I hope you enjoy this one when you read it, Eileen! <3
