A review by whimsicallymeghan
Dangerous Deception by Margaret Stohl, Kami Garcia

2.0

The second novel in the Dangerous Creatures series. Ridley, a once evil, turned nice Caster has been taken by the most powerful and evil Caster, Silas Ravenwood. Link, her boyfriend makes it his mission to find her and save her from what Silas will do to her. Nox, a Dark Caster, who is also madly in love with Ridley finds himself trying to save her too; only he gets caught by Silas. Seeing what Ridley is turning into Nox knows he must turn her back into the girl she was before. The novel was a compelling tale of perseverance even from the underdog. It went on adventure, after adventure on this journey to find Ridley. The plot was good, but the characters were a little boring and repetitive. The novel wasn’t long enough for the characters to really grow much, so this novel felt more like a chapter in a bigger story. The characters just felt like they were lacking, and could have been a little less unintelligent, especially Link. Overall, it was interesting, and peaked the readers’ interests, but the characters really took away from the story.
