by JP McLean

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Ratings 4.4/5

Synopsis
A daring abduction. A sinister plot. A family on the edge of ruin.

A newborn is missing, and security camera footage implicates a kidnapper who shares Emelynn Taylor’s gift of flight. With the baby’s life in danger, Emelynn races against the clock to find the child. But lies litter her path and deception blocks her at every turn.

When Emelynn’s lover is the next to disappear, she suspects the kidnappings aren’t what they seem. In her desperate search, she uncovers a high-stakes conspiracy that jeopardizes the freedom of every Flier.

Emelynn and her handler must defy orders to track down this new enemy in time to stop their treacherous scheme.

And closer to home, a deeper deception threatens. Will Emelynn’s family survive the biggest lie of all? One that Emelynn has spent her whole life perfecting?

The fifth book in The Gift Legacy series, Deadly Deception is a thriller that skirts the edges of reality in a world within our own. Strap on your parachute and escape the ordinary: take flight with Emelynn Taylor.

My Thoughts
The thing with paranormal suspense is that, as of late, most of them have the same tropes in them. I feel like I’m reading about the “unreliable narrator” the “twist that no one expects but, really, I’ve read it before” or “the unreliable narrator who also has a drinking problem”. I’m sure I’ve complained about these tropes enough in other reviews so I will digress.

This book, however, was a breath of fresh air. It’s an amazing paranormal suspense series without needing those tropes. The twists in it actually blew my mind, made me pause, go back, reread, and just sit there in shock. I hadn’t had that kind of reaction from a thriller for a while and, again, that was incredibly amazing to read.

The characters in this series are so three-dimensional. I strongly recommend this book not only to suspense lovers but to anyone who just likes a good paranormal mystery and a good book, overall. It is definitely one you will not want to put down, that’s for sure.

Highly Recommended!
