The Kiss of Deception

by Mary E. Pearson

Our rating

Spice 0/5 Darkness 2/5

Spice: none. Darkness: some dark moments.

Princess Lia bolts from her arranged wedding to a seaside village, and two new boys turn up: the prince she jilted and the assassin sent to kill her. The book hides which is which for a long time. That trick is the whole fun.
