Rating Clarification: 3.5 
 Deception was a fast, intense read that could have been better, especially in the romance department. I would have liked a more solid relationship between Emma and Bennett, and Emma dating Colin felt weird, and Colin's death plain wrong. 
 Besides its flaws, the book was rather enjoyable, and the paranormal world was very interesting: I liked the ghosts as well as the ghostkeepers, and I can't wait to find out more about the original Emma Vaile and Bennet Stern. 
 Deception ended with a pretty good cliffie - the mysterious postcard from Emma's mother. It was all I needed to make me want to read the next installment in the series!
