A Torrent of Deceit by Sarah M. CraditMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Charlotte is right in the middle of the war between the two families and is in the bosom of the dangerous LaViolette clan under the assumption that she alone can save those who she loves but to do that she has to do it from within with no friends nor allies to help her and with her magic being meaningless among all the other witches. Nicholas' distance from Lauren means that the relationship between her and Ashley can blossom and so while burying his love for Lauren he focuses on helping Charlotte from the outside spending his dyad looking over his shoulder and his nights without sleep. But this desperate plan is very reckless and his old and new life will intersect in irreversible ways. Far too late Charlotte realises that Harlowe LaViolette has always been several steps in front of her. With no word from Charlotte in months, Nicholas has no choice but to take a bold chance and change course which is a move that will come at a vast cost to everyone who they love.
OMG - plots and subplots weaving around each other as they try to forward their aims in the way they think are correct even though it later appears that they made incorrect choices. It will be interesting to see in the next book in this series what happens for both Charlotte and Nicholas after their actions from this book and the changes that happened right at the end. So right now I feel very sorry for Charlotte and just want to shake Nicholas. Well written, and easy to read/understand as long as you keep the plots clear in your head. (I had to read some sections twice just to make absolutely sure I understood it which was not a reflection on the standard of the writing but the complexity of the plots).
