Dangerous Deception (Dangerous Creatures, #2)
Kami Garcia
From the world of Beautiful Creatures--a dangerous new tale of love and magic continues in the sequel to Dangerous Creatures. Love is ten kinds a crazy, right? Let me put it to you this way: If you can get away, run. Don't walk. Because once you're exposed, you'll never get a Siren outta your head. Some loves are cursed. Others are...dangerous. Especially the love between wannabe rocker and quarter Incubus, Wesley "Link" Lincoln, and Dark Caster, Siren, and bonafide bad girl, Ridley Duchannes. But now Ridley is missing, and Link was with her-right up until she vanished. Determined to find her, Link reunites with his New York bandmates and the mysterious Lennox Gates, who wants Rid for himself. Together they travel to the deep south, find the crossroads where blues guitarist Robert Johnson made his deal with the devil, discover a menagerie of Casters locked in cages, and uncover an evil in New Orleans that threatens to destroy them all. This time, love might not be enough. Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthors of the Beautiful Creatures series, deliver their signature blend of mystery, suspense, and romance, with a healthy dose of wit and danger in this sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller Dangerous Creatures.

There was one glaring issue for me in this book. While it is written in the same style as its predecessor (multiple POV's and flashbacks) rather than the third-person flashbacks we see in book 1, this book had first-person flashbacks. That may not seem like a huge deal to most people, but for me, it took me straight out of the story every time. I don't mind switching point of views as far as characters go, but from third to first to third again is just a giant headache for me.
The plot wasn't as great, this book is basically half the size of every book from the caster chronicles and it doesn't really end with a definitive ending despite the fact the authors have stated they have no desire to continue writing this series.
The thing that made me love the Caster Chronicles and to even want to read this follow up series ws the relationship dynamic between Ridley and Link. And for me, because we only see them on about four pages together throughout this entire book, it just completely fell flat for me.
I didn't hate it, but it just didn't have anything really special about it.
