Demons and Deception by Tansey Morgan, Katerina Martinez
5.0
Hailey’s life used to be full of danger and peril at every turn, but then she made a move. Literally. She left the States and moved to England where she thought things would be different. Working as a librarian, surrounded by books, for two years she has had a moment of peace about her life, but all of that is about to be shaken and destroyed by one small book disguised as “Peter Rabbit.”
Demons and Deceptions by Tansey Morgan and Katerina Martinez is the first book in their Magic Blood series. In this book we are introduced to Hailey Matthews, going by Hailey Jones now to hide her past that she does not wish to be reminded of. Hailey is an interesting character. She’s strong, determined and skilled. She is the main focus of the story and she really brings it. Despite her being out of the game for a minute, when danger comes knocking she’s somewhat prepared. This story is full of the unexpected from the beginning though. The authors come together to give us magic, suspense, TONS of danger and unexpected twists. The storyline is seamless and flows beautifully. Levi is full of secrets himself, but I like that Hailey knows well enough to trust her instincts. I love the variety of abilities and characters that we get in this book. I also like the tie in for Tansey Morgan’s Harlequin series as well.
While I enjoyed this book, it’s not without its faults. My main, and basically only issue, is that this book has quite a few editorial issues. Most to all of them are simple misspellings. Mistakes that could easily be caught with a careful eye. The editorial issues don’t detract from the overall story, but they do catch the eye.
I am rating this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. I truly enjoyed this story, and the authors did a great job working seamlessly together to create this fascinating story. I’m taking off half a star for the misspelled words throughout because they are simple mistakes that can easily be corrected. But they aren’t so egregious that they detract and distract the reader totally from being able to enjoy the story itself. I look forward to the next book in this series as Hailey, Levi and the rest have some big problems ahead.
