The Kiss of Deception

I really liked this book! I wish I didn't read it simultaneously with Red Queen, because honestly I kept getting the two main characters mixed up (they both have three older brothers, both princesses (in a way at least) etc).

I found Lia to be a very strong and likeable protagonist with a great character development throughout the story. The story itself had its slow sections, and I do think the book could've been shorter without missing anything, but the second half was definitely a lot more interesting than the first half.

I did not see Kaden being the assassin coming! I thought it was Rafe all along, and at one point I even believed that the assassin and the prince was the same person. I still couldn't get myself to hate Kaden for what he did though, because he was just so adorable up until the big reveal!
