4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book, February 3, 1998

By A Customer

This is my favorite Jennie McGrady book. The plot twists and turns, and it's impossible to guess the ending. In this book, you never know what is going to happen next. Decieved focuses on sixteen-year-old Jennie, her same-age cousin, Lisa, and the two guys(Matt and Dominic) that they meet while on a cruise with their grandmother and step-grandfather, who just happen to be FBI agents. Meanwhile, Jennie refuses to believe that her father, also a FBI agent, is really dead like the government says. She is determined to find him, but the search winds her up in the clutches of a crazy drug lord.

The book Deceived is a great, suspense mystery book with many surprises. It is about a girl named Jennie McGrady that is searching for her father. Her grandmother takes Jennie on a Caribbean cruise with her cousin where there are tropical breezes and beaches,she feels relieved. During her cruise she meets a guy named Dominic Ramirez who is weatlhy and sweet but has a dark side to him. She also meets a an agent that she feels really comfortable with talking about her father. During the cruise danger occurs around her. Before going back on the cruise, they go through the security check that checks your luggage. Jennie got caught with drugs in her luggage and goes to jail for a day. In the end, a great surprise comes up.

One part that I disliked about this book was when Dominic betrayed Jennie. He had a dark side to him that had her worried. But in the end, things turned out okay.

I liked this book because it was very intense and exciting. "Daddy", was a quote said by Jennie. i thouhgt this was a very intense moment because she found out that the agent, Brett Roberts, was her father. "Don't Jennie" was a quote said by her father, his eyes told her that he wanted to hold her and protect her. But he didn't.

My favorite part of the book was when Jennie found out that Brett Roberts, the agent, was her father. It was very surprising and intense. I really enjoyed reading the whole book.
