Daughter of Deception

Daughter of Deception is the first book in the Family Lies series. In a lot of ways, it is a paranormal Romeo and Juliet. Duke is the regional head of the Network, an organization of people with special abilities dedicated to hunting demons. Viola is the daughter of a man possessed by a powerful demon and from a family with a long, dark, and mysterious past. Against his better judgment, Duke takes her back into the Network and walks right into the demon hunt of his life.

I was hooked from the moment I started reading the story. Duke and Viola are charismatic, interesting characters and the dynamic created between them was fascinating. The story was exciting, with a ton of twists and turns. It had magic and intrigue, betrayal and loyalty from unexpected places. There was pain and there was humor. Aggie, Duke's grandmother, is one of my favorite characters in the book, being everything to Viola that her own family was not. This was one of those books that you fell into and felt as if you were a part of the story. I definately recommend clicking one of those "buy it" links above and picking it up!
