Held captive in the barbarian kingdom of Venda, Lia and Rafe have little chance of escape. Desperate to save her life, Lia's ertswhile assassin, Kaden, has told the Vendan Komizar that she has the gift, and the Komizar's interest in Lia is greater than anyone could have foreseen.
Meanwhile, nothing is straightforward: there's Rafe, who lied to Lia, but has sacrificed his freedom to protect her; Kaden, who meant to assassinate her but has now saved her life; and the Vendans, whom Lia always believed to be barbarians. Now that she lives amongst them, however, she realizes that may be far from the truth. Wrestling with her upbringing, her gift, and her sense of self, Lia must make powerful choices that will affect her country...and her own destiny. (Summary from Goodreads)

Ok, so book 1 left me on a severe cliffhanger!! I am SOOOO ready for this one! I just hope I remember all the details once I start reading b/c I read that one as an ARC too so it was a while ago now. I do remember thinking...do I like this one? And then I thought OMG THIS IS SO GOOD!

Wow. I'll read the first book before I decide to read this one. I still have enough time before this is released so yay!

Between Us and the Moon sounds interesting. The "lie" is very intriguing. :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed! The "lie" does make this sound very intriguing and this book isn't even my "thing". Tempting isn't it!
DeleteI'm also waiting on Between Us and the Moon :) I haven't read Kiss of Deception yet but it is sitting on my shelf and I'm sure I'll be dying for Heart of Betrayal once I read it. Thanks for stopping by!
