Deception by C.J. Redwine
3.0
I did end up really liking Deception but I felt that there was just something lacking. I think it may have had to do with the fact that it was a dual point of view between Logan and Rachel. On one hand it was beneficial because they were things as the reader you wanted to know but I just felt like I really wasn't able to get into either character. I also felt like the plot in this book was way more predictable than the first one. I wasn't really surprised by anything that happened.
I did really like Rachel, and I did feel terrible for her especially since she carried around such a tremendous amount of guilt. I will admit to being briefly worried about Quinn, but I just felt like something was off there and in the end I was right. It did NOT turn into a love triangle which was really helpful. I was worried that Rachel was drowning in her guilt and grief and in a way she was. I was thankful that she had her friends to help pull her out of it.
Logan was difficult for me because while I knew he really cared about Rachel at the same time I also felt that he needed to be there more for her. I understand he's trying to run this camp, but he was always going on about how she was what kept him going and then he wouldn't spend any time with her. It just rubbed me the wrong way.
This book took me forever to get into, and that was really the biggest problem I had with it. I'm usually a very quick reader and this book took me over 4 days to finish just because I couldn't really get into it. Overall, it was a decent read and so I would give it 3 out 5 stars.
