The Deceivers | 
Currently I have been reading the Deceivers a book about Brynn. Brynn is split between two worlds, her home life and school life. Often times it feels like school and home life can be very separate entities, and life is divided between the 2. While Brynns struggle is much more difficult then most of us face the premise is very similar.
I have began reading “The Deceivers“ a fascinating book written by Kristen Simmons, I am only 50 pages in but I am already hooked. The Story begins by introducing the reader to Brynn, the main character. Brynn has been raised by just her mother ever since her father was killed in a conveniece store robbery. Brynn has been raised in poverty without the money for college she works a job but turns to conning others to raise money for her future.
pickThis book is so so good! I haven't finished a book so fast in a long time. Brynn is a likeable character as well as Caleb. I like how the author got the idea for this book from Valhalla and Odin sending Valkyries out to gather souls.
Started this beauty for the #24in48! I'm super intrigued so far! And she lives in Chicago, which is so cool! 😍
pickLoved this book 4/5! The story and characters are amazing! I love the world Kristen Simmons has built!

pickWhat an amazing surprise! This book sat on my shelf for too long and I‘m so glad I pulled it off this weekend and finally read it. I love the main character and I fervently hope this becomes a series! www.silverbuttonbooks.com for a full review.
“And, in the space between heartbeats, my feet take root in the ground, my spine straightens, and I‘m fused back together, the different parts of me all becoming one.”
pickSo much fun I already want to reread. Brynn is a con artist from the very first page, recruited to a special school in order to con & spy for its headmaster. The characters are charming (esp. Henry!) & the mind games are fun, if predictable. But they weren't annoyingly so, and I felt happy to just let the book take me on a ride. Brynn did frustrate me a bit, and the ending felt a bit abrupt & unsettling. Regardless, next book, please. I'm in.
Brynn thinks she's dealing with the usual high school #cliques at first, but it's not that simple at a school for con artists. Really enjoyed this one.

pickA private high school for con artists. Drugs and secret vendettas.
March whizzed by! Faves of the month were probably The Deceivers, Grace and Fury, and revisiting the Anne books. Anne and The Everlasting Rose were my only #SeriesReads this month, but I started a new ones with my two faves and The Sweetheart Sham, which was pretty cute.
Just won a copy of this from a tor teen giveaway hosted through Twitter
I didn‘t think I could get more excited to read this book and then I read the stellar dedication. ❤️
pickWho can you trust when you go to school for con men? That‘s the question Brynn has to ask herself when she is recruited to the mysterious & very exclusive Vale Hall & given her first assignment. This school should be the answer to all her problems but is it? A quick, fun & entertaining YA mystery/thriller which is the first in a new series. I expect this will be a big hit in the library, particularly with fans of Truly Devious.
New book in the library and my next read. I do like cover...
Update: I definitely picked The Age of Light for my #BOTM pick and then got distracted by some of the extras that were available! These two YA picks both jumped out at me and I couldn't resist!
Pretty Little Liars meets Ocean's 11 in this intrigue-filled contemporary drama from acclaimed author Kristen Simmons.
