Summary

The poison will kill his sister...unless James finds help.

But who can he trust?

Fifty years in the future, the ultrarich live in luxury in heavily protected cities. The rest of humanity eke out a living in a landscape destroyed by greed....

When five-year-old Rose is poisoned, the community of Sector 19 is resigned to her fate. The antidote lies in the city, beyond the reach of ordinary folk. Only her 17-year-old brother, James, refuses to give up hope.

When his bold plan to beat the border patrols fails, a mysterious woman offers to help. But he senses Amora is hiding something.

Can he trust her?

Will her plan succeed?

With his sister’s life hanging in the balance, James has no choice but to find out.

Perfect for fans of Divergent or The Hunger Games, Deception is packed with action and brimming with suspense.

Interesting Narrative

It was hard not to see this as a version of the Hunger Games to be honest, there were a lot of similarities, though it's a lot easier to read, much less depressing, and there were some interesting original ideas as well, like the brain chip & that part of the storyline.
Would definitely recommend giving it a go, it's well written.

I love this narrator, I think he has a brilliant voice, there's literally nothing about it that irritates me, which is hard to find, happy to listen to anything he narrates, really great voice acting.

teen thriller

I enjoyed listening to the narration of Adam Schulmerich

This book is set in the future filled with political intrigue, in a society fragmented along class lines. James and Amora are from two different worlds. Were the wealthy live in the Capital, while the poor subsist in rural districts.
This is the first book of a series and was a great beginning. We see James growing, while looking for his sister.
