Deception (Vampires in America #9) by D.B. Reynolds ~Review & Giveaway~
Cynfully
amazing was the first thing that came to mind upon finishing D.B. Reynolds
ninth book in the Vampires in America series. She truly is far and away one of
my all time favorite paranormal romance authors. It’s so much more than the romance
that draws me in every time. It’s the brilliance of her characters and the
staying power of the world she has created that always keeps me coming back for
more. Deception really is a jewel in her crown of books.
Cynthia
Leighton has, from the very start, been a force to reckon with. She is
powerful, smart, strong, and more that capable. She only needed a man in her
life to compliment the woman she already was, not fix or make her. She belongs
to herself, but gives everything to the man…or, should I say, the vamp. She
loves Raphael. Yes, our vampire lord Raphael is sexy as hell and adorably arrogant
as always.
It’s
when the unscrupulous enemies from the old country bring him to his knees that
Cyn shows that she will burn the world to ash to get her man back.
Deception is a resounding epitaph to girl
power. I LOVED it.

Kauai, Hawaii—tropical
paradise, vibrant jungle, turquoise sea... and sensuous nights that hide
vampires so powerful they can change the world.
Raphael—powerful, extraordinary, arrogant. He’s been eliminating rivals and gathering allies, determined not just to survive, but to demolish the Europeans who think they can steal what he’s worked for centuries to create. In a final bid to avert a war that seems inevitable, Raphael agrees to meet an enemy he knows of old. She is formidable, wily, and not to be trusted. But in his arrogance, Raphael believes he can foil whatever treachery she has brewing.
Cynthia Leighton—Raphael’s human mate, beautiful, smart, and deadly when threatened. She doesn’t trust anyone, much less a powerful vampire claiming to want peace. So while Raphael prepares to negotiate a treaty, Cyn is preparing for the inevitable double-cross that she knows is coming. Raphael worries about saving thousands of vampire lives. She only cares about one, and she will do anything to keep him alive and in her arms.
When Cyn is proven right, when it all falls apart and Raphael’s enemies draw on ancient magic to trap him, taking him away from Cyn and out of the war, it all falls to her—to find Raphael, to save the thousands of vampires who will die if she doesn’t succeed... and to kill every single being, human or vampire, who gets in her way.
