Emma Vaile is the most powerful ghostkeeper in centuries. Which is great when she's battling the wraith-master Neos, but terrible when she's flirting with fellow ghostkeeper (and soul mate) Bennett. When ghostkeepers fall in love, the weaker one loses all power, and that's not something Bennett can handle. Heartbroken and alone, Emma tries to lose herself in school with fellow ghostkeeper, Natalie. When a new team of ghostkeepers arrive-one a snarky teen boy, the other a British scholar-Emma finds solace in training for the battle against Neos. But as the team grows stronger, they are threatened by an unknown force. One they thought was good.

As chilling and page-turning as Deception, this sequel will grab readers and hold them to the last page. No one is safe from suspicion as Emma closes in on the traitor.

What I thought:

After finishing the second book in this trilogy, I'm really excited to get my hands on the third. Too bad I have to wait. *Grumble*

The story really starts to pick up in the second book and it's a fast pace ride all the way to the end. I liked the tension with Emma and Bennett, I think this will be very interesting to see how it plays out in the next installment. I also thought the siren was a great addition. Things aren't going to be easy for Emma.

What has really intrigued me is the past lives of Emma and Bennett. I want to see if Emma prevails and also see if Emma and Bennett are doomed to repeat the same relationship as in the past.

This is a really good series so far. If you haven't checked them out yet, you really should!
