Holy emotions! This book shattered my soul. I wasn’t expecting it to be so emotional and heartbreaking, but the story was beautifully written and eventually will mend all the broken hearts and shattered souls.

Grace has experienced more trauma than anyone should in their life time. At 11, tragedy struck her and she was sent away from her home to live with a family she barely knew. Knox, even at 13, was drawn to Grace. They couldn’t stay away from each other, however, their relationship was forbidden. This is just the start of what will be an emotional rollercoaster for Grace and Knox.

I spent pretty much all of this book wanting to just give Grace a hug for everything she has experienced, yet, I love that despite it all she is still standing. Knox, I felt for him, too. He was the black sheep of his family and had his own struggles throughout life. The two of them together were beautiful and their chemistry was amazing. Knox’s sweet side and compassion was everything that Grace craved and it helped her as a child. Their love for one another is beautiful and emotional every single step of the way.

Deceit is a beautifully written, angst filled story about two people who fell in love as children and ruined by many lies and secrets. A MUST READ!
