Thea Keres, you have the power to give life. Tell that to the corpse I left in the hall last night. Finding out I'm a goddess was a hard pill to swallow, but it has nothing on being forced to attend Divinity Preparatory Academy. Everything I know and love is now forbidden to me, and I’m stuck within the castle walls with enemies on all sides. Power I don't understand ripples beneath my skin, and I can't trust anyone enough to ask for help. Especially the lying, seductive men who dog my every step. Four gods, each of whom is more trouble than the last. Varon despises me, Sam is playing games, Darrio wants nothing to do with me, and Remy is hiding dark secrets—but all of them draw me in against my better judgment. All I want is to find a way out of this hellish place, and the longer I’m trapped, the more leaving a trail of bodies doesn’t seem nearly so bad.

Secrets, lies, and murder. Just another day at Divinity Prep. After my first term at Divinity Prep, I thought I’d have my power under control and life would be smooth sailing. Instead, I’m more lost than ever, and no amount of studying and distraction is enough to keep my ability from endangering everyone around me. Even though she’s willing to light people on fire for me, I can’t tell my best friend, and the four men who know what I can do can’t be relied on anymore. Under the headmistress’s watchful eye and the threat of exposure at any moment, I’m drowning in questions with no answers. Remy could provide them, but he refuses to reveal what he’s hiding. Varon hates me—sometimes—and Sam is a liar. But what did I truly expect from a god of deception? Darrio wants nothing more than to help, but how long before he turns on me, too? When bodies start to drop again, trusting anyone is a luxury I can’t afford. Keeping up with classes and avoiding the men who haunt my dreams every night is fracturing the tenuous hold I have on my power, and if I can’t keep it together, the next body to fall could be one of theirs. Deception is book two in the Divinity Prep series. It is a reverse harem romance for readers 18+. Please check the trigger warnings at the beginning if you need them!

Death has come to Divinity Prep, and it goes by the name of Thea Keres. Nothing seems to go my way in this cursed school. Just when things seem to be coming together, it’s torn away from me, and I react exactly the way a vengeful goddess should. Only now it seems to have awakened something in me, and I’m fighting to suppress dark urges that threaten everyone around me. My emotional turmoil only increases from the conflicting reactions of my men. Remy goads me on, claiming it’s the natural progress on of my power. Darrio worries for how my soul is being affected, while Sam doesn’t seem to care what I do, so long as it makes me happy. Varon… I have no idea what he thinks, and therein lies part of the problem. No matter how closely I think I’m guarding my secrets, someone is manipulating things from the shadows and I’m running out of options. I’m going to need help to get a handle on what’s happening, and if I trust the wrong person, it could spell doom for us all. No pressure.
