review 1: Double Deceit is a very interesting, suspenseful romance. Elaina's abusive husband and young daughter died in a car accident and now she's going back to her childhood home to live with her younger sister. They haven't been in contact since Elaina eloped in high school. She gets a job and soon falls in love with the boss. But...things aren't all perfect. Elaina keeps receiving mysterious phone calls and letters that seem like pranks, but are almost threatening. Can she find out who is behind this? Or is she really going crazy?I really liked the twists and turns in this story. I love it when I'm always guessing a mystery. I would have liked to see Sandra (the boyfriend's mother) developed a little more--she was fascinating.
review 2: Looking at the book, I first ... morethought it had a great title and intriguing cover and back blurb. I was wary of the too perfect main character with excessive makeup but quickly warmed to her as I started reading. Elaina, the MC, comes with her own set of insecurities and flaws, including a failed marriage. There were interesting supporting characters with their own stories. I liked how Humphreys simultaneously showed Elania's character growth while trying to fight becoming crazy. Contrasting this was a likeable sister, Natalie, who became insensitive and self-absorbed due to a new boyfriend's attention. I knew not to like Chad though Elaina struggled to lend sisterly support. That was good tension. Friend Peter made me angry when he showed his spineless side, but there were reasons for it. Nearly-perfect love interest, Ryan, played it right most of the time. Ryan's mother possessed a quirkiness that was refreshing. These characters elicited reader emotions that pulled me into the story. The plot developed nicely. There were places of tension and rest from it, all building to a suspenseful climax. Non-LDS readers should have no trouble understanding content or enjoying this book. Humphreys' managed to hold my interest and keep me guessing. less
