Deception (Haunting Emma)

Deception - Lee Nichols The thing that I really enjoyed about this book was Emma. She was so funny! Don't get me wrong, there were times when her boy-craziness really made me want to scream, "Take it down a notch, chick!" But mostly, I found her just adorable and laughably snarky. She reminded me of Frankie, and Evie, and Sophie, all those girls that I wish I could be friends with!Deception was a mix of ghost-story, mystery, thriller, comedy, and romance. The lore that Lee Nichols created was incredibly fascinating, and I have a feeling that it will get more detailed and interesting as the series goes on. There were a lot of things that Emma had to learn in this book, about her abilities to see and interact with the ghosts that have come into her life. There are lots of mysteries that still need to be solved, like where are her parents? What's up with Bennett? How will her powers manifest themselves in the future? And quite a few other things that were left unsolved.Deception was a quick fun read. It started off pretty light and easy, but as it progressed got a little deeper and more involved. I think it will be interesting to see where the next books take us. Especially after the cliffhanger, and completely unexpected ending that we are left with. If you enjoy books about the world of ghosts, I think you'll like this book.Book Doppelgangers: Past Midnight by Mara Purnhagen, Intrinsical by Lani Woodland, The Soul Screamers Series by Rachel Vincent.AndyeReadingTeen.net
