Brynn Hilder is living a life she never dreamed possible: She lives in a mansion, getting a top-rate education at Vale Hall. She has friends and an almost-boyfriend. Anything she wants, she can have.

The only catch? To stay in this life, she has to help the director of Vale Hall take down the bad guys of Sikawa City by collecting secrets and running cons.

Getting everything she wants and fighting evil doesn’t seem like such a bad deal. The thing is, she’s not so convinced anymore that Dr. Odin is really going after bad people after all. And the friends and almost-boyfriend that have made her life so different are all liars and con artists—so can she trust that any of it is real?

The stakes are higher. The cons are riskier. And nothing is what you think it is.

Scammed is book two in the Vale Hall series by Kristen Simmons and if you haven’t picked this series up yet, you definitely need to change that.  Simmons not only has a page turning story in this second book, but I was so invested in the characters that I couldn’t stop reading because I needed to know what was going to happen next. No spoilers here – it is a book two though so if you haven’t read The Deceivers yet, proceed with caution.

Brynn is our main character but at Vale Hall there are a number of other characters she is interacting with and each one has their own secrets.  What she has to figure out is who she can trust and it’s not as easy as one would think.

In this book, Brynn is still working for Dr. Odin but she questions just about everything he tells her and when what he asks her to do begins to make her question Caleb, things start to get twisty.  I can’t say too much about this because it is core to the story, and I don’t want to give anything away.  Just know that there is so much that we don’t know right along with Brynn so I can’t hold any of her decisions against her.  Well…maybe most of them.

Right along with all of that, Grayson is back in the picture which only complicates things more.  This is where I wanted to elbow Brynn and tell her to think about what she is doing.  So much happens with Grayson now that he is at the school and a big piece of the puzzle for Dr. Odin.  I will tell you, I have always had strong feelings about Grayson and this book only solidifies my thoughts about him.

I have to also mention that I loved that we had more time with the secondary characters in this book.  We got more exposure to Charlotte, Henry, Sam, and Geri and I thought it provided a bit more depth to them so I could better understand their relationships with Brynn.  Of course, the bits with Caleb and Brynn together are some of my favorites.

I hate that I have to be super vague with this review but I really don’t want to ruin anything as there are plenty of twists and turns that will keep you guessing around what is really going on and right along with Brynn you will be trying to figure it all out.  If you take anything away from this review, please know that I loved this book and can’t wait for the next book to see what happens next.  Grab this book when you can…you won’t regret it!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Happy Sunday ! Have you picked up any new hobbies Happy Sunday ! Have you picked up any new hobbies over the last year? Puzzles are our new thing and we have done a ton of them! I have also taken to cleaning and letting go of all of the things! I used to belong to a ton of book boxes and while I appreciate all the creativity etc that goes into them I just don’t know what to do with all the little items and extras that come in each one - again I love that #illumicrate offers a book only option so that is the only sub box I belong to aside from #botm
.
That said there are some things that I will never give up and have put in my ‘save but stash away’ box- anything #illuminaefiles related is in there!
.
 This is probably one of my most recommended series to just about anyone - both audio and hardcover because you must experience it both ways!

Also Adam is pretty great and you should read his backlist- you will love everything! *side note when I look at the signed bookplate that also came in my preorder pkg - it says Adam Silvera and with his initials it almost looks like an AF so I’ve been thinking “Adam Silvera AF” every time I see it!

I have been doing a pretty good job of reading books that have been on my shelves for a bit and I swore to myself that as soon as the last book arrived in @sabaatahir ‘s series I was going to binge them ... and I did!
.
I listened on audio because I’m guaranteed at least an hour of reading time per day (it’s been hard to come by lately!) and also Steve West & Fiona Hardingham so... I am happy to say that i absolutely loved this series (despite my frequent ‘OMG SABAA’ commentary).

I looooove rom com’s so very much so when I saw this title I squeeeeed with excitement because it sounds exactly like what I will love! Check out the summary below and add this one to your #tbrpile
.
Summary:

In this rom-com about rom-coms, in the spirit of Kasie West and Jenn Bennett, a hopeless romantic teen attempts to secure a happily-ever-after moment with her forever crush, but finds herself reluctantly drawn to the boy next door.

Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. Now that he’s back in town, Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar—and maybe snag him as a prom date—even befriend Wes Bennet.

The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbor might seem like a prime candidate for romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Liz’s butt since they were kids. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz’s in.

But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment, she’s shocked to discover that she likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must reexamine everything she thought she knew about love—and rethink her own ideas of what Happily Ever After should look like.

Happy Sunday! What was your last piece of #bookmai Happy Sunday! What was your last piece of #bookmail - I got this lovely arc in the mail recently from @simonteen and I’m looking forward to reading it soon! Summary will be below! Make sure you get this on your #tbrpile if it’s not already!
.
Summary:

In this charming debut fantasy perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and Girls of Paper and Fire, a witch cursed to never love meets a girl hiding her own dangerous magic, and the two strike a dangerous bargain to save their queendom.

Tamsin is the most powerful witch of her generation. But after committing the worst magical sin, she’s exiled by the ruling Coven and cursed with the inability to love. The only way she can get those feelings back—even for just a little while—is to steal love from others.

Wren is a source—a rare kind of person who is made of magic, despite being unable to use it herself. Sources are required to train with the Coven as soon as they discover their abilities, but Wren—the only caretaker to her ailing father—has spent her life hiding her secret.

When a magical plague ravages the queendom, Wren’s father falls victim. To save him, Wren proposes a bargain: if Tamsin will help her catch the dark witch responsible for creating the plague, then Wren will give Tamsin her love for her father.

Of course, love bargains are a tricky thing, and these two have a long, perilous journey ahead of them—that is, if they don't kill each other first.
