This book has all the plot twists Vi Carter usually delivers, along with the personalities you just have to love. I could not help rooting for Jared and Layla. I’m ready to read more about them in the duet’s conclusion.
What? NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!! Oh my goodness I can’t believe this cliffhanger! I mean what a way to have me hanging on to the edge of my seat! I gotta know what happens. Their poor childhood was miserable yet together happy. Very sad what they went through and apparently he still goes through a lot. I want to know more about him and their time away from each other. I’m sure my questions will be answered in the next book…which I can’t wait for! LOVE IT! . I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Deceive Me by VI Carter
Jared and Layla went through years of abuse when they were younger while put in foster care program. But these two stuck together no matter what. As they were separated, each not knowing what happened to the other, seven years passed. College brought them together, both shocked. This story will have some bulling from other student, deceiving information, abuse, fighting, attempted murder etc. You’ll be left speechless!! Cliffhanger!!! Mind blowing, bang! Can’t wait for Save Me book two! Vi Carter you always make us fall in love with your stories!
Deceive me is hands down one of my favorite Vi Carter books (and I am beyond anxious for the second book in the duet). I almost forgot that this was not a standalone and was left speechless at the massive cliffhanger we were left with. I loved that this was a slow burn and left me craving more. There is still so much to learn about Layla and Jared but knowing that they grew up in the same abusive foster home and we’re each other’s safe haven made me root for them so much more. I was here for the jealousy and suspense that was building throughout the story. From mysterious billionaire fathers to dangerous gang members to lies and misunderstandings, I give this wild ride of a book 5 stars.
