Deceived

TLDR: The authors writing style is very compelling, the concept itself pulls me in, but the way legitimately all of the males are written bothers me a lot and honestly ruins the story tbh. The premise itself is a very interesting one honestly. I really was attempting to enjoy the book but I REEEEEEALLY dislike how every single male character in this book either is just made to be a genuinely bad, incompetent, morally reprehensible, or overbearing person. It is legitimately the main reason I had to keep putting the book down. Legit one of the female characters in the book has her bf leave with a dealer, her father was never in her life, and when attempting to find a job was asked to preform sexual acts if she wanted to get in.

A thrilling new series by WL Knightly that kept me intrigued. The characters have depth and secrets that are unexpected. Shaelyn (Shae) is a private investigator in Louisville. She was on track to become a detective but was suspended so she quit the force. Cameron Murphy is a detective in Columbus, Ohio. Cameron and Shae went on a date together but she turned him down for a second date. Leah is a complex character that takes us on a roller coaster ride with twists and turns you won't see coming. This was very well written and the storyline was extraordinary. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Starts out with a surprise and ends the same way Shae, a private investigator, gets a call from Cam, a police detective, about an open case from when she was on the police force. As the story progresses we get a glimpse of the motive, more than a few new questions are raised beyond the case, and unraveling it all could become a wild goose chase. W.L. Knightly’s newest series starts out with a surprise and ends the same way. The flirty banter, the witty quips, and the secrets kept and revealed draw the reader in from the beginning. I am looking forward to seeing this mystery can take on a life of its own. I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
