Deceit and Darkness
Celestial Whispers duology Book 2
The stars have fallen. With war on the horizon, the only way out is through death itself.
The stars’ conquest is in full force, and their leader, Rigil, will stop at nothing to subjugate all of humanity. In the midst of their grief, Iyana and her companions must turn to the gods for guidance, and they’re not all welcoming to mortals.
Only the first Aztia can teach Iyana how to banish the stars once again. But the only way to reach them is to send an emissary to the afterlife, and there’s no guarantee the gods won’t get to them first.
Meanwhile, Rigil’s reign of terror is only spreading, and he’s hells-bent on ending any chance of retribution. When Altair is tasked with hunting Iyana down, his loyalties are put to the ultimate test. As intense as ever, he’s no one’s slave. But what does that mean when he’s commanded to kill his former lover?
An unforeseen ally. A willing sacrifice. A voyage into the unknown.
Can destiny overcome deceit? Or will humanity fall next?

“Don’t know that I have ever had such a satisfying end to a story before 👏🏻👏🏻 usually I’m left wishing this happened or that happened- not with this one 😩😍
10/10, highly recommend and think everyone needs to read it right now - Jeannin is now an auto buy author and I can’t WAIT to see the spin off one day!”

“Can I rate a book more than 5 stars?
Huge thanks goes to Jeannin for allowing me to receive an ARC copy of this book. This book has been my most anticipated release and I can say it lived up to the hype I created for myself.
Jeannin has this way of evoking so much emotion just with the words she puts on the page. You can truly feel the pain and grief the characters go through. The book picks up right where we left off in Secrets and Stardust, and let me tell you what.. the first three chapters.. you better have your tissues ready. I laughed, cried, and yelled at the book so many times but the ending was all worth it.”

“A book that left me feeling on-edge, elated, giddy, shocked, devasted, hopeful, and ultimately spent all in one.
This was such an epic conclusion to Iyana's story. The multi-POV story lived up to book 1 in the series, which isn't always the easiest to do.
There were many revelations throughout this story that were so fun and surprising, and some that made me cry (I don't really cry during books, but Jeannin got me twice).
This book kept the reader busy, even when our characters in one place we were never really standing still. Following the events of Secrets and Stardust, most of our characters had some STUFF to sift through.
Deceit and Darkness didn't shrink back from any of it, and our characters (and the reader) have to work through them.”
