When I picked this book up, I knew I was in for a good read and I wasn't disappointed. I tried to stretch it out overseveral days by reading just a few chapters at a time, but was able only to last two days. The story is good, the writing is excellent and the developoment of the five (count 'em) major characters is so consistent. I hope we'll get toknow Ayallah better as she and Malcolm get married.

I don't think Maddison will ever top Deceptions, but she is a consistently excellent writer who comes up with plots that work for her characters. I do think it's time for Connor to become more accepting of her heritage. Her refusal to be gracious about who she is makes her seem sullen about her powers. She doesn't have to give up her skepticism since they are sure to encounter frauds, but she'll become mmore powerful if she accepts who she is. I'm already looking forward to the sixth book.

Once again Lauren maddison has me questioing my own belief system. By that I mean life after death, reincarnation. I was completely enthralled with this book and the mystery in which Lauren Maddison seems to make you feel comfortable with new characters. This is a book for people who enjoy to read it was simply put a pleasure :)

I was looking forward to reading this book and found myself disappointed. I kept thinking, "That doesn't sound like something that character would say". I couldn't help but feel that Ms. Maddison's heart was not really in this book. It seemed disconnected and forced in ways her other books did not. I noticed quite a few editing errors as well. Wish I could give this a better review. Enjoyed her other books and plan to give the next one a good chance.
