Synopsis
Dreams. Goals. Plans.
You envision a dream, set a goal, and formulate a plan. I had diligently pursued all of these steps. I was on my way to obtaining my degree, engaging with breathtaking works of art, and unexpectedly falling into bed with my professor.
Yeah, that last bit wasn’t part of the grand scheme, but even I had to admit that it wasn’t an unwelcome deviation.
Ironically, despite my meticulous planning, attention to detail, and even despite my own deceptions, I ended up being the one deceived. Being manipulated and used.
He didn’t desire me for who I was; he merely coveted my connections.
He yearned for me because of my access to his prized painting.
And when he absconded into the night with the piece he’d been willing to betray me for, he shattered my heart.
Except, he got caught, and in doing so he inadvertently revealed my biggest secret.
My forgery.

Review
Forgery continues the story of the Valenshek Legacy. And while I enjoyed it, I wanted more Tris and John interactions.
This is not where I thought this book would go after the end of Heist, and while I liked the story, as I mentioned, there was not enough of the fun banter between Tris and John. However, we do get to see John and Tris make friends and have some friends with other characters. I especially loved John and Tink, those two were great!
What I did love was the changes to the Game. The stakes are so much higher in this book, and I loved it. I liked the added danger that seemed to be missing a bit from the first book. The romance may have been a bit lacking in this book, but the high-stakes suspense in this story was fantastic. I am very excited to see how all of this plays out!
