A review by book_lover_andrea
A Most Dangerous Deception by Sarah Zettel

2.0

Not my favorite read. For a spy novel it was surprisingly slow and also - unbelievable. The premise is this - a young orphaned girl (of questionable parentage) is living with her uncle and she becomes betrothed to the young swatch of the town. And then he tries to rape her. And then her uncle tries to force her to marry him and when she refuses kicks him out of the house. So she has no where to go, except at the same party where she was sexually assaulted a mysterious stranger saved her, told her he knew her mom, and that she should contact him at anytime. So she does when she's kicked out of the house and she finds out - your new job is to impersonate a dead girl at court and become a spy...but for what side? (Well her unraveling all of it is the plot of the book.).

The book just wasn't fantastical enough for me to say - okay I'll go with this and not real enough to be believable. I wasn't a fan of the first person narration in this story.
