The Deceivers (Vale Hall, #1)

Review: The Deceivers - Book #1 The Valhalla Academy - Kristen Simmons - February 2019
She has brought to the Modern world this contemporary version of the Valhalla story. We have Brynn Hilder who is surviving as well as she can grow up in the rugged Devon Estates. She has learned to become a good con artist to raise money to go to college as her job cleaning the libraries won't get her there as fast as she planned. Her mother's current boyfriend Pete is the local drug dealer, and when he steals her savings, Brynn needs a new plan quickly. This leads her to follow a boy who has been casing her the last few days, and she stumbles upon a private game where the prize is the prestige entry to Vale Hill Estate. If she gets in, she will be set for life and have her pick of any college. With nothing to lose, she enters and has a fun night out. Not thinking much of it, since she gave a fake name and all she heads to bed. Only for the next morning, she is awoken and told she has an interview at the mysterious Vale Hill.  Brynn arrives, and it's like a dream come true, the thing is that this isn't any ordinary school but a school where they teach you to become con artists, spies, and thieves. A school where collecting secrets is their currency. Brynn has been given a choice - gather all she can on Grayson Sterling and be part of the school or turn it down and go back to her life as she knew it.  Brynn agrees, and her life is changed as she is thrown into a world of secrets, lies and not knowing who she can trust? Is Brynn as she digs deeper and falls into the world of Valhalla Academy cut out for this lifestyle? Knowing the truth of who Dr. Odin is and why he picked Brynn at the end of the book - will she continue to study at Vale or will she take the knowledge she has and her existence wiped as Margot's - the girl before hers was?
