Sixteen-year-old Allyssa appears to be the ideal princess of Emperion—she’s beautiful, elegant, and refined. She spends her days locked in a suffocating cage, otherwise known as the royal court. But at night, Allyssa uses her secret persona—that of a vigilante—to hunt down criminals and help her people firsthand.

Unfortunately, her nightly escapades will have to wait because the citizens of Emperion may need saving from something much bigger than common criminals. War is encroaching on their kingdom and in order to protect her people, Allyssa may have to sacrifice her heart. Forced to entertain an alliance through marriage with a handsome prince from a neighboring kingdom, she finds herself feeling even more stifled than before. To make matters worse, the prince has stuck his nosy squire, Jarvik, to watch her every move.

Jarvik is infuriating, bossy and unfortunately, the only person she can turn to when she unveils a heinous plot. Together, the unlikely pair will have to work together to stop an enemy that everyone thought was long gone, one with the power to destroy her family and the people of Emperion. Now the cage Allyssa so longed to break free from might just be the one thing she has to fight to keep intact. In order to save her kingdom, she will have to sacrifice her freedom, her heart, and maybe even her life.

August 24, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The heroine is beyond whiny! And the hero and the heroines parents kept being on the point of revealing something when someone walked in. If you use that once or even twice maybe but over and over again it was just obnoxious, especially because what they were about to reveal was obvious for a long time.

Some Plot and Character Issues but not a Waste of Time

June 15, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Cage of Deceit was entirely predictable with no surprises at all throughout. All the huge secrets were glaring from the beginning (as an avid read, I must admit I am rarely surprised) and I knew exactly what the prince was hiding as soon as we were introduced to him.

Parts of the book were very frustrating. Parents who are supposed to be preparing their daughter to rule someday, who feel she is old enough to marry at 16, hide important parts of what they are doing so that she is totally unprepared when its time to make important sacrifices. The princess views herself as always acting like the "perfect princess" but based on the reactions of everyone around her anytime something was going on, it's safe to say that she had a totally unrealistic view of herself that was never examined. Supposed friends who don't really act like friends and the prince and his squire are both boorish (prince) or awful (squire), but propped up to be the ideal.

With all that being said, I did enjoy reading the book. It was clean and the writing style was right up my alley. I would have liked for the supposed twists to not have been so easily spotted early on in the story, but I'm happy that the writing itself was descriptive without being overly so and the author told the story well enough.

Overall, for younger readers the twists might be less obvious and I would feel quite comfortable with my young teens reading this novel.

Repeat of a story line used in this genre way too many times. Lightweight characters and some annoying language.

June 30, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Same old same old. As an avid reader of fantasy/adventure novels I found this to be another repeat of a common story line in this genre. Some of the writing is annoying as the terminology is just out of character for the world the author has built. Ho hum characters and an obvious plot don't add anything either.

If you are new to the genre you will enjoy this book a lot more than an experienced reader. It is a cliff hanger (of sorts) so if you hate that tactic by authors give this one a miss. It is an obvious cliff hanger and not too illogical a point to stop at so treat it more like an episode and it probably won't worry you too much. The story moves along at a fairly fast pace so you can probably read this one in one sitting.

Strong female lead

April 8, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I seriously loved this book. Jennifer Anne Davis gave us a strong, an actually strong female MC with Allyssa. She was everything I wanted her to be and then some, she didn't take crap from anyone, she could hold her own in a fight and yet could walk in court and demand respect and the love of her people.

And then there are the other characters... loved them all. No character really seemed like a side character because Jennifer Anne Davis took time to give each character a life and story.

The story was great and had wonderful pacing. The surprise wasn't much of a surprise to me, but that didn't take away my excitement to see if I was right or not. And of course I was! Can't wait to read the next one. This is definitely a must read.

Yes! I knew it!

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

My reaction when I read the final line of the book: I knew it!

This book was truly a pleasure to read and it was great that we got to see many of the characters we grew to love from the first series again. That being said I also loved all the new characters we got introduced to. It was great to that see Alyssa, Darmik and Rema's daughter, grew up with Neco and Ellie's kids along with Audek and Vesha's daughter. I love their parents friendship in the original series so I was happy to see that bond in the next generation. Although I do hope to see more character development for the other kids because the only ones we see a lot of are Alyssa and Marek. Again, we get immersed in the world of Emperion, all the intrigue and court politics. Deception seems to be a theme throughout this book as well. It seemed all our key players were keeping secrets. I, for one, saw the big reveal at the end coming a mile away. There were just so many hints, I kept waiting and waiting for Alyssa to put two and two together regarding Jarvik and Prince Odar but sadly that just didn't happen.

Alas, now starts the endless wait until book 2.

Great book

June 17, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I had a hard time putting it down for anything. I hardly ever give out five stars but this would definitely be a nine out of ten. It was an adventure to read and I can't wait to read the next one. It was very exciting with plenty of action, political intrigue, and great characters. There was just enough romance to get you hooked and plenty of plot twists. I'm always a huge fan of a heroine who can take care of herself. The one thing that kind of annoyed me we're all the hints about secrets. There was one big reveal at the end, which I'd guessed very early on before hints started coming. There were a couple other things the characters figured out, though slowly in my opinion. There's at least one big secret still unshared but I'm almost positive I know what that one is. I like figuring things out before they happen, but not when hints continue being given over and over. Other than that it's great though!

Loved this Book

May 4, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This was a great read. Even though I had a feeling about how this would end, I still enjoyed reading every page. Allyssa is a princess with an inner strength that grows throughout the story. She's smart and likable, which doesn't always happen. Maybe she should have seen the twist coming, but I don't hold it against her, not with the pressure of everyone's expectations.

The romance was well done with the tension between the main characters, building to a huge cliffhanger. After finishing, I immediately downloaded the second book.

Absolutely loved this book!

April 15, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

My usual tastes in literature tend to be more like the hard military science fiction and I shy away from sci-fi fantasy. After reading this book, however, I realize I've been missing out on amazing adventures that are well written, well plotted, with characters I can relate to who get into wars, fights, and heart pounding mayhem. Am so looking forward to staying on this author's trail as she writes.
