Thanks to Netgalley and to the publisher for sending me an e-galley of this book!

The Guinevere Deception leads the reader through a labyrinth of well placed twists and turns until they don't know which way is up and who to trust. I felt connected to all the characters, feeling Guinevere's anxiety (or whoever she was), I had begun to adore King Arthur and enjoyed the company of his knights and felt at home walking along the characters on the streets of Camelot.

The writing was addictive. As soon as I thought I knew where the story was going, something had changed or was revealed that kept me turning the page, as many good stories do. Every twist was well placed and never forced, natural and easy but still effective.

Based on how it ended I'll be looking for the eagerly waiting the next book.

This book was received as an ARC from Random House Children's - Delacorte Press in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I absolutely love King Arthur and the legend it has become and it is refreshing to read a new twist on not only the tales but for the characters and in this case Guinevere. In the legends, Arthur and Merlin tend to be the main focus and all we know about Guinevere is that she is Arthur's lover but we never hear how she came to be and how she got involved with King Arthur in the first place...until now. Kiersten White eliminated the boring parts of the stories and combined the best action parts in this novel making it so exciting to read and I could not stop. Our teen book club will also be excited for this and I can't wait to share it with them.

We will consider adding this title to our YFiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.
