The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson

Rate: 3 Stars
Age:  14 and up

I will honestly admit I struggled with this book for a few hundred pages.  The author very cleverly leaves you guessing at what man is playing what role.  I finally got really sucked into the book around the last hundred pages and then it ended.  Abruptly.  Now I need book two!

This takes place in kingdoms of another world where many different languages are spoken.  Some of the languages are spoken but not translated.  It's oddly not confusing though.  Like it or not, you will find yourself rooting for the wrong man at least once.

The background of the characters is fairly shallow, but the love story is sweet.  If you start it, take heart, the beginning is slow, but the last is well done.  I am excited to read book two especially if it takes up right where this one leaves off.

Content:  A few kisses, a few innuendo's and a few swear words.  There is some light gore and fighting.  Overall, a fairly clean read.
