Emma Vaile is the most powerful ghostkeeper in centuries. Which is great
when she's battling the wraith-master Neos, but terrible when she's
flirting with fellow ghostkeeper (and soul mate) Bennett. When
ghostkeepers fall in love, the weaker one loses all power, and that's
not something Bennett can handle. Heartbroken and alone, Emma tries to
lose herself in school with fellow ghostkeeper, Natalie. When a new team
of ghostkeepers arrive-one a snarky teen
boy, the other a British
scholar-Emma finds solace in training for the battle against Neos. But
as the team grows stronger, they are threatened by an unknown force. One
they thought was good.
As chilling and page-turning as Deception,
this sequel will grab readers and hold them to the last page. No one is
safe from suspicion as Emma closes in on the traitor.

      Gr 9 Up-In this sequel to Deception (Bloomsbury, 2010), readers find out more about ghostkeeper Emma and meet new team members. Bennett is sent away to keep from losing his powers, which happens to the weaker of the two when ghostkeepers fall in love. Of course, Emma does a certain amount of pining for him, and she feels guilty for Coby's death-which everyone at school seems to blame her for as well, but there is plenty of ghost- dispelling action to keep the plot moving. Simon, the new leader, trains the team hard as they prepare to meet Neos in what turns out to be not the final battle. The complications include the villain dispatching a siren to weaken Emma's resolve and a betrayal among the team, hence the title. In the end, Neos escapes to the Beyond, weakened by the loss of his amulet, and Bennett returns to the museum house. Emma is not sure about the changes in him as he has become addicted to the power-building herb Asarum. The setup is complete for the next round of superghost fighting. A light read for students who enjoy the paranormal.-Robin Henry, Wakeland High School, Frisco, TX

      Emma (Deception), descendent of the greatest ghostkeeper in history and more powerful than any ghostkeeper in hundreds of years, continues to hone her skills with the help of her ghost allies. Like the first book, this one includes distracting pop-culture references (some dated) and plot gaps. However, Emma's fans will continue to root for her against evil wraith Neos.
