Review: Deception

Deception by Patricia Bradley
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

Wow, this book had me on the tip of my toes with a lot of twists and turns and a few possible suspects.

Clay and Madison were easy to like and connect with. Their relationship development also felt realistic. Both had a past struggles, Madison with her adoptive parents not having the best relationship and Clay with his past addiction. I appreciate that the author showed that an addiction can be overcome, but not with temptation to return when things get difficult. Sometimes authors can edge on the line of characters overcoming struggles with no issues, which for me is a bit…fictional. Real people, even Christians with a close relationship with God, has daily struggles and temptations to overcome.

The suspense plot was intriguing and fast paced. And with multiple scenarios and suspects, it was easy to be kept guessing, though there were a few hints I put together faster than the characters and I did wonder why the characters did make the connections sooner. This however did not take away any of my enjoyment reading this story.
