Review Quotes:
"I felt hooked from the very beginning... I feel connected to the characters, especially Rhoswen... Rhoswen's power/magic is so fun to read about, and I thought it was clever portraying Deceit's power in that way." ―Samantha Haroian, Hearts on Fire Books Owner & Curator, @HeartsOnFireBooks
"Deception's Rose was a highly anticipated debut read for me and it did not disappoint! Hannah has a beautiful way with words and easily snagged my attention with the gripping opening. From chapter one the reader is welcomed into a chilling world !lled with gods and magic. If you enjoy dark fantasy then this is a book you MUST pick up!" ―Courtney Martin, Author of Wistoria and the Transit of Venus, @CourtneyMartinAuthor
"I absolutely devoured it. Rhoswen's connection to the god of deception was such a fascinating dynamic and at times infuriating in the best way because it added tension to the story. The worldbuilding is so interesting, the themes are compelling, and the overall plot kept me hooked the entire time. I also loved how the magic system is tied to the gods. It made the whole world feel layered and alive. Absolutely top-tier read!!" ―Jenna, Book Reviewer, @ChaptersWithJenna
