I would like to thank Siobhan Davis for my copy of the ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

When will life possibly get better for Sadie? When will she have someone in her corner, someone to rely on? Sadie has only known hatred and betrayal, but when she is selected to be part of a social experiment, she has the opportunity of a lifetime, to spend six months under the sea, in a newly created city that promises wonders and life beyond compare. But is it just another thing that is too good to be true in her life?

'I VOLUNTARILY REVIEWED A COPY FROM THE RACHEL E. CARTER YA BOOK CLUB ON GOODREADS.'
Well, I can tell you one thing, I will most definitely be continuing this series and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book.
Siobhan Davis has created such an interesting world in this series that I absolutely cannot wait to get back to. I loved the main character, Sadie, and she reminded me a lot of Clary from the Mortal Instrument series- she's got a temper, she's tiny, she's stubborn, and extremely resi ...more

The love story between Sadie and Logan is one of my favorites I’ve ever read!! Right up there with Twilight, Mortal Instruments, Iron Fey, and Black Mage. And the plot is amazing!! Now, onto book two. I’m so glad all the books are already out so I can binge read this series!
Update: Saven Deception is free right now on Amazon.com. Give it a try. Book 2, Saven disclosure, is also on Amazon for $3.99. I just finished it. It was quite an adventure! There are expected to be two more books, Saven Defiance and Saven Declaration. I can't wait!
Saven Deception by Siobhan Davis was not what I expected. From the cover, I thought this book would concentrate on romance, but this book is about so much more. It is about an oppressive government. It is about friendships, believing ...more

I VOLUNTARILY REVIEWED A COPY FROM THE "RACHEL E. CARTER YA BOOK CLUB ON GOODREADS."
I learned something about myself while reading this book. Namely, that if I develop a distaste for the book very early on, it is unlikely to change my mind as I wade my way through it. I had a very hard time motivating myself to finish this book. Which really is a shame because it had all the makings of a 3-4 star book for me based on the premise alone. Aliens! Mystery! Corrupt government! Star-crossed lovers!

If something seems to good to be true, there is usually a reason why. Sadie Owens is a star, one of the lower caste of people who lives in the outer circle. The earth is going to hell in a handbasket and the evil government has created a system of classes--stars, the lowest, coins, the middle, and bullions, the upper. The stars have virtually no rights,not even the right to fall and love and marry. With such a dism ...more

It's a little dystopian, a lot of sci-fi wwith aliens, romance and young adult.
The writing was fantastic, in my opinion! Wonderful world development (the underwater world was so cool), character development and everything just flowed in a way that I had trouble putting it down!! The characters were really great...some were a little mysterious at first, some were a little hard to like at first, but as all is revealed and as the characters grew you really became invested.

Recently I have been making, what some will refer to as, very silly choices when it comes to reading books. I do not mean I’m reading extremely bad books, far from it, merely that I am going about my choices in a very weird way. What I mean by this is I’m joining author’s advance read teams prior to reading any of their work. It’s silly, I know. There is the strong possibility I will not like what I am sent. Fortunately, this has yet to happen. As it stands, I have enjoyed all the advance read b

Saven Deception is a great start into an intriguing series. The prologue was written well and had me flipping the page immediately. I've been into dystopian ever since reading Hunger Games. The beginning and ending of this novel didn't disappoint with the dystopian concept. Also, human appearing aliens are my absolute favorite.

Whew. I read this book in one sitting yesterday. I just got sucked in and didn't come up for air until I had finished the book. Sadie lives in a world where people are divided into three classes. Those in her, the lowest, class will spend their lives working in factories. Only 10% will be allowed to marry and have children, and Sadie know there is little hope for happiness in her future. She signs up for an experiment the government is running aimed at solving the overpopulation crisis. Sadie wi

Holy hot aliens! Siobhan Davis has again caused me to devolve into a veiled fugue state and lose hours living out a fantasy in another dream world she’s created.
Sadie feels unwanted and is living a dreary life of squalor in a dystopian nightmare. Forced out of school at 13 to work a monotonous factory job, she has nothing to look forward to except retirement 60 years from now. But now Sadie prays things will change for the better when she’s chosen by application for a six month government intern ...more

Interstellar Red Queen what?
Sadie Owens is a red lower (star) class citizen. Her family life sucks and she works a loathsome factory job. She puts her name in to participate in “the experimento”, an underwater city where she hopes her dreams of being something more in live will come true. Her hopes come to fruition but never in a way she imagined possible.

Sadie Owens lives life as a star, the lowest class in society. Living in the grunge of New York means that she doesn’t get to marry, have kids, or a life until she turns seventy-five, and by then it’ll be too late. She has two options: be one of the ten percent chosen to procreate in the outer sectors or be chosen to be part of the Experimento. The girl who doesn’t even fit in with her own family finally gets lucky and is chosen to be part of the Experimento, meaning she’ll be trained and sent t

This book had promise in its new world and class divided society to be a hidden gem. Sadly, it did not deliver.
The main characters fall in love using... movie quotes! One of the most over-used, cliche things to do.
Sadie, the main heroine, is pretty stupid. She does not show loyalty, or even plans things out very well.

I hesitate because the first 40% was quite slow.
But after that it picked up, it got interesting, a little grittier. Fantastic world building.
And I'm kind of a sucker for alien-earthling romance. I know, I'm weird.
But hey, that's what you get when you combine an enthusiastic Sci-Fi lover and an excitable spirit.
I'm just defenseless for these things. I don't know why. I can be absolutely brutal in some of my reviews, but I very rarely read a Sci-Fi I don't like.

I wish I could give it 4&1/2 stars. The only reason for a lower rating is that it took me a few chapters to really get into it. Once I got into it, I didn't want to put it down! Great characters, plenty of action, romance, and comedy, and overall a great story. And just enough of a cliffhanger to leave you wanting more, but not too much to make you angry. I would definitely read it again, and can't wait for the next book in the Saven series. I was gifted an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What I can say?
The book had me hooked from the first chapter.
I loved the book, it was unputdownable, I had an unquenchable thirst, an inch that needed scratching. I needed to know what happened next, like I needed my next breath.
An exhilarating ride with many twists and turns.
Can't wait to continue the adventure in book 2.
It was awesome.
