Publisher's summary

The poison will kill his sister...unless James finds help.

But who can he trust?

Fifty years in the future, the ultrarich live in luxury in heavily protected cities. The rest of humanity eke out a living in a landscape destroyed by greed....

When five-year-old Rose is poisoned, the community of Sector 19 is resigned to her fate. The antidote lies in the city, beyond the reach of ordinary folk. Only her 17-year-old brother, James, refuses to give up hope.

When his bold plan to beat the border patrols fails, a mysterious woman offers to help. But he senses Amora is hiding something.

Can he trust her?

Will her plan succeed?

With his sister’s life hanging in the balance, James has no choice but to find out.

Perfect for fans of Divergent or The Hunger Games, Deception is packed with action and brimming with suspense.

A solid storyline that I enjoyed.

Overall I enjoyed this book. The reader did an excellent job, keeping the pace and intensity moving. Slow and slightly confusing near the beginning, though intensity picked up and pulls you in.

A Decent Listen

This would definitely be a good story for a younger listener. My biggest problem with the story was the main character. It felt as though his personality wasn’t really consistent. I feel like more time could have been given to character development. Parts of the story were also confusing. I will admit that I do not normally listen to YA books, and had to keep reminding myself that this was one.
