Quick, well written read that continues seamlessly from the first book of the series. This book takes you into the secret world of the vampires as Sara's fate is given over to the Sirelords. The story is wrapped up nicely but plenty of mysteries are left for the continuation of the series

It's a good read. I couldn't put it down. I read the first two in one week. Can't wait to read the next one.

This is the sequel to A Vow of Tears, and has been on my read/review list for quite a while. I was finally kicked into reading it when I read Alex Owens’s Kill Me. The two series were written about the same time and both feature a female vampire concerned for her human child.
In A Vow of Deception, Vincent takes Sara to the Sirelords who must decide whether she lives or dies – and, if she lives, whether she will ever see her son again. This book sets out really to describe vampire society. As such, it’s more about world-building than action, whereas the first book was more horror/thriller. It’s a fairly easy read, and sets the scene for the third book (A Vow of Fate: The Final Vow) – which I haven’t read yet, but will.
I’m often annoyed by vampire books, and this didn’t annoy me, and some of my frustrations with the first book were resolved in this second book. My complaints are more technical. The grammar is occasionally glitchy, with forays into the present tense, for example. Passive voice is used a lot, which is distracting on the one hand and slows the story on the other.
My biggest complaint, however, is that the story needs paring. The description of detail is excessive and the story drags a little – need more action, less waiting around helplessly

Another well told story and quick read. It's very easy to get sucked into. This starts the day after Sara returns to face Vincent. She is in for an interesting time, meeting the Sirelords and finding out her fate. Really enjoyed getting to know Adonis and Jasmine. I was definitely surprised by the twist Vincent through into Sara's life. I knew there was a reason for my love-hate feelings towards him. I truly hope there is another book, as I really want to learn more about Sara's blood and all the possibilities!
