A Matter of Deception is the first book I’ve read by Christy Poff and I wasn’t disappointed. From the first paragraph we knew that Seneca and Adrienne were in love and destined to be together, by the end of the chapter all of that was taken from them and more. Ms. Poff wove a tale of such deep deception, torture and heartbreak I found myself in tears several times while reading. I did not want to put this book down until I had read the last word and knew how it all turned out.

I don’t want to give away any of this incredibly tense story. Rollercoaster ride through a dark mountain wouldn’t even do this justice. Ms. Poff put her characters through the wringer and gives them an extra twist or two for good measure, can you say suffering, tortured existence? Not for the squeamish A Matter of Deception is a damn good book. It is headed for my keeper shelf, it is not passing go or anywhere else. I can see that a I’ll be spending quite a bit of my hard earned dollars on some more of Ms. Poff’s books, guess I’m just glutton for punishment!
