Now, I happen to love this series. I'm reading it all over again from book one since the when I first started reading it, book three wasn't even out yet and I'm trying to catch up.I was hooked on the story and the characters the first time around. Now that I'm coming around for a second time...I'm having a slight issue with the many grammatical errors (in both books) - hence, the star removed.
I have actually committed the most recent ones to memory.
1) 'Deceived' - yes, it's the title of the book and doesn't seem like it should be a problem, right? Well, when it's just sitting at the end of a sentence, capitalized, having nothing to do with anything being said because it's smack dab in the middle of a conversation...it becomes a problem.
2) 'Offence' - nothing so far has convinced me that she's British. Small thing, yea. It really is. But, when the entire two books had American grammar, it was off-putting.
3) 'Ceased' - problem? You can't 'cease' someones neck...you can seize it, though.
4) Font - No...not the word 'font', but actual font. In one instance there is a voice that isn't being heard except by Gwen - ordinarily, this voice was italicized so that you knew it was speaking. This time there was no warning and not font change. I had to re-read a couple of times to finally figure it out. It goes back and forth for a short time in that manner. Slightly frustrating. It brought me back to the real world, where I don't wanna be.
It is 1:30am and I literally stopped reading and came over to write a review. I love these books, I love the story (the strength of it keeps me reading)....but, that grammar has had me baffled in a few places and re-reading sentences to try and see what was really being said and distracting me from the story.
Lastly, I would LOVE to see some better character development. So far, everyone kind of seems like different versions of the main character. Their personalities aren't as diverse as I would like.

Deceived The Gwen Sparks Series Book 2 edition by Stephanie Nelson Paranormal Romance eBooks Reviews
Ian is back and making the worlds most frightening appearance, but what is he really up to? With the war "brewing" (haha, get it?) over vampires addicted to witches blood, everyone seems a bit tense. And while all Gwen wants is to be left alone to watch over her magic shop, she finds herself smack dab in the middle. When Dorian, the Angel of Death steps in to help tone her connection with death, will Gwen be able to keep her hands to herself? After all, she's still with Aiden, the sexy vampire a bit on the dark side.
I cannot express how much I loved this book. As you know from my review of Craved, I was a bit torn up over what to to rate it. I swayed from a 3 to a 4, finally deciding on a 4 due to how things built up and exploded in the end. Just as I was hoping, Stephanie takes everything Craved was and expanded.
I loved how we specifically found the title throughout the book. The explanations of different people being deceived, the secrets that lie behind the shadows and how the people we thought we could trust, may not be so trustworthy after all. This definitely helped to keep the theme throughout the book.
I also should note that there is a bit of sex and sexual violence in Deceived. Everything was completely tactful and went along well with the storyline.
Overall, this book was a fantastic read with everything you look for action, romance, awkward tensions and connections to the spirit world. I cannot wait for Taming the Wolf.
Gwen's been called to Moon, the city where the NAWC make their home, as the Witches Council decide to take matters into their own hands over Brew (a highly addictive vampire "drug" which puts witches in harms way since it's their blood that's the drug). Head of the Council, Holly, has decided it's time for Gwen to come into her power so she can be the Council's "secret weapon". This means Gwen must train with the Angel of Death, Dorian, to fully discover what it means to be a spirit walker.
If you read Craved (book 1 in the Gwen Sparks Series), we met a Gwen Sparks who was trying to heal her broken heart and live a somewhat normal life. In Deceived, Gwen is torn between her desire to help the Witch Council rid the Brew issue and the Council's edict that all vampires are bad and must be eradicated. Considering her boyfriend is Adrian, a 600+ year old Italian vampire, that edict causes issues. Her other issue is being used as a "Secret Weapon" for the council. In addition to those pretty big issues, she also has a hard time dealing with the change in her and Fiona's relationship and her attraction to Dorian.
As a reader, it's almost like all of Gwen's emotions leap off the pages at you. Those emotions make it easy for you to connect with her and become engrossed in the storyline. She stands up for herself, is willing to go out on a limb for a cause she believes in and calls people on their BS when it's getting a little deep. She also someone who takes her powers for granted. It's refreshing to see her question why she should do something, just because she can. For Gwen alone I would love this series.
But Gwen isn't the only character that will draw you in. Adrian and Dorian both engage the readers at an emotional level. Adrian's feelings for Gwen are always right in front of you and while he may not always take the best path when trying to cement his relationship with Gwen, you always know what he feels for Gwen. Dorian on the other hand tries to mask his feelings, but when he does make them know you have to wonder how anyone can deny him.
Council drama, vampire politics, eradication of a shared enemy and the ultimate betrayal round out the plot to this second installment. It's witty, edgy, and emotional read. It will wrap you in the world of Gwen Sparks from the very first paragraph and make it almost impossible to put down.
