Hi began reading this author with her Tru Calling series. I love the young adult romance but not necessarily the sci-fi theme. Siobhan has made me a lover of that now.
I did find it difficult in the very beginning of the book to follow, just because there was world building, character building, but I had no idea why the world was the way it was. However, I feel that that worked in my favor because it allowed me to be surprised as the plot developed. Once that happened, I finished the book in a very short period of time, I just couldn't put it down! The writing is so well-done that it transports you to that world, putting you in place of the characters. It's truly captivating and extremely enjoyable, and leaves you wanting more.
I fell in love with Sadie, and even watched her character developed into somebody stronger during the story, and this is just the first book! While I'm very interested in her and Logan and how the relationship will develop, I also find myself invested in secondary characters, and that doesn't happen often in a book. These characters paid such intricate rolls and woven so well with your main characters that it's almost like a second story within the story.
The romance is sweet, has its own ups and downs, but romance is always my favorite part of the book and I got plenty in Saven Deception. I embraced the Eterno connection. It makes the romance more intense! However, romance isn't all this book is about. There is corrupt governments, aliens living among them without knowing, mystery and intrigue and keeps you wondering what is going to happen next.
I love that Siobhan does not leave her books with huge cliffhangers. I will come back and read any additional books in the series if the series is written well. I'm not a big fan of cliffhangers that leave you waiting with characters hanging in the balance. I also appreciate that I do not have to wait for a year to find out what's going on in the story. This makes to Siobhan one of my favorite writers , not just because her books are wonderful and creative and romantic but also because she respects her readers enough to work hard on getting her books out in a reasonable amount of time.
I'm very excited about seeing what happens in the second book, and how these characters continue to develop and change their world with the surprises, and plot twists I can't begin to imagine what will happen next . I give my highest recommendation, not only the Saven series, but the Tru Calling series. If you haven't read that series yet, I suggest you buy that now and read it while you're waiting on the next book to come out in the series. You won't be disappointed!

About the author
You can't love, work
In Sadie's world, there are class divisions and restrictions on everything. You can't love, work, or go to school without the government's approval and grace. So when the opportunity comes up for her to join an underwater colony experiment, she jumps at the chance to change her life. Little does she know that this experiement is one more way for the government to control and harness her class. The world Sadie lives in seems very realistic in our future. With population overcrowding and the government trying to step in and "save" the people, Davis does a good job with making the setting of Saven very real and possible. So when Sadie decides to change herself and her future by making her own choices as to who she is and what she wants, I find myself relating to her in a real way. She tries her best to become this new person, or let the real person inside of her slip out, but at times slips back into who she was and who the world expects of her. As I'm moving to a new place, I tell myself the same things. I can be whoever I want and fight for control of my own life. Reading is a great way to find the inspiration to do what you want and share in the experiences of others who succeed, and fail at their choices. Saven Deception is a good book for finding those heroes to look up to as your fighting for control. While I absolutely love Young Adult fiction and love stories, sometimes I have a hard time with the love at first sight addiction authors feel. I can understand the love forever and such, but love at first sight? I have a hard time with this, and Sadie and Logan's love is a bit unreal in this matter. But I guess that's why we read YA fiction sometimes, for the unreal love and suprises. I guess when you fall in love with an alien, you should expect a little unreal and forever. And this love story gives you it all, and with all the drama of rebellions, new choices, and drama all around. The hardest part of this whole book was the ending. It was so sudden, so out of the blue, and so unexplained. I feel like Davis was trying to move the story along when it got a little stuck, and decided to do it in a big way. But the "big way" was so unexpected that it didn't really make any sense with the story and then she just ended the book. I know there are several other books and from the start of the next one, there is a little bit of explanation, but not enough yet to make any sense of what happened at the end of Saven Deception. The collapse of the underwater colony makes no sense other than to move the story along and on to the next book. I admit with all the craziness in this book, I really enjoyed Saven Deception. There were a few parts that were a little unreal and crazy, but if you can suspend through that, this book is great for those who love the Lux series or other alien romances. I will definitely continue on with this series and have already started book 2.
