Cage of Deceit

Reign of Secrets, Book 1

By: Jennifer Anne Davis

Narrated by: Katie Bunn

Sixteen-year-old Allyssa appears to be the ideal princess of Emperion - she's beautiful, elegant, and refined. She spends her days locked in a suffocating cage, otherwise known as the royal court. But at night, Allyssa uses her secret persona - that of a vigilante - to hunt down criminals and help her people firsthand.

Unfortunately, her nightly escapades will have to wait because the citizens of Emperion may need saving from something much bigger than common criminals. War is encroaching on their kingdom and in order to protect her people, Allyssa may have to sacrifice her heart. Forced to entertain an alliance through marriage with a handsome prince from a neighboring kingdom, she finds herself feeling even more stifled than before. To make matters worse, the prince has stuck his nosy squire, Jarvik, to watch her every move.

Jarvik is infuriating, bossy and unfortunately, the only person she can turn to when she unveils a heinous plot. Together, the unlikely pair will have to work together to stop an enemy that everyone thought was long gone, one with the power to destroy her family and the people of Emperion. Now the cage Allyssa so longed to break free from might just be the one thing she has to fight to keep intact. In order to save her kingdom, she will have to sacrifice her freedom, her heart, and maybe even her life.

predictable and poor performance

the story was highly predictable and very annoying. there was no subtlety, and what was about to happen was very very obvious. Father made no attempt to hide the plans she had for the story.

the narrator was awful! She had the right voice for it but her performance was terrible. all sorts of awkward pauses and she says word strangely. not as if she has any strange accent, it's British, but as if she didn't know what the word was supposed to sound like. Words like Scabbard for example. it's almost as if she didn't practice at all for this project.

all that being said I still enjoyed it. yes it was predictable but still enjoyable in the long run.

Fun series

I really enjoyed this listen. The story line was very adventurous and an easy listen. Don’t let the easy part full you it has a packed story line. At the end of the book I couldn’t wait to read the next.

Bad narrator, great story

Is the narrator a computer? The story is so good and I loved the characters, but this is a book to read, not to listen to. Katie Bunn was so monotone and bored that it altered the experience. Loved the story though.

narrator was not that good

never made it wasn't that good I felt that when she what do one character's voice and go back to the same character she was still use a different voice other than missing boy she was trying to portray for that character so I kind of meeting confusing about who she was talking about but overall the storyline was decent

Unexpected enjoyment

I usually pick books by the author, Jennifer Ann Davis is not one of my usual authors. Picked this by accident, but very pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed the book. I am now on the third of the series and can not wait to hear what happens next. Very well written and captivating.
