Horrible cliffhanger, I need to know what happens next. Luckily I have The Heart of Betrayal already and can find out ASAP.
This book had such an interesting concept with the lack of information given to the reader. We knew that an assassin and prince were after Lia and we knew they were named Rafe and Kaden, but you do not find out until the latter portion of the book who is who. I will embarrassingly admit my guess was wrong. I definitely have a favorite guy right now and since I always choose wrong, I'm assuming I will be left annoyed when she finally does choose.
I really enjoyed the writing in this book, it was amazingly well done. I also enjoyed the folklore and quotes at the beginning of every chapter, they added to the story and the world. Since this book was written where we did not know the true identity of two of the characters, I applaud Mary E. Pearson's ability to write and let us learn about this characters without slipping in who they are. There were so many times where I thought we would finally find out, but the story progressed in a way that it was not necessary to disclose the information yet.
Not bad for what it was, but definitely slogged for the first 2/3 of the book.

Leer The Kiss of Deception me hizo pensar mucho en Wonder Woman, aunque son abismalmente diferente en lo que se refiere a argumentos, sus protagonistas me recalcan que no tienes que ser una sangre fría femme fatale para ser una heroína, aunque a nuestra Princesa Arabella todavía le falta un enorme camino que recorrer (dos libros más hehe), tiene un buen inicio y la verdad, como dije, me he sorprendido realmente interesándome por la protagonista, por todas las reseñas que había leído, pensé que solo terminaría interesándome en los chicos sexys, solo que al final, para mí ellos pasaron a un segundo plano.
The Kiss of Deception va bien, a dónde todavía no sé, pero va bien.
