Can they catch a thief by being a thief?
Her teenage sister has run away. It's her fault. And on her watch. Desperate to find her sister and keep it quiet, Shyla soon gets pulled into something so much bigger… a heist. That of stealing her mom's newly acquired million-dollar jewelry.
Damien is a good guy running from an awful past. When his brother ends up in the hospital, he is determined to stop the one man who is destroying their lives. He will break all his promises, even steal, if it will end their father's control.
Shyla and Damien work together to plan a heist, catch a crook, and save her family? An impossible crime with only one possible outcome.
Emerald was the first of eight foster girls. The jewelry, she thought was fake and looked after as a teenager, are resurfacing. Thirty-five years later. And worth millions. Who is sending them out? And who wants them, at all costs?
This is a series meant to be read in order. Read the series from start to finish – Books 1 to 5.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2021A very interesting mystery, it takes awhile to understand all that is happening, but once you know the characters you become involved quickly! This is the start of a new series and I am hooked already!! The girl, Shyla, has a mother who's past is unknown to any of her children, and the other daughter, Hannah is adopted, unknown to her. They are thrown into the path of another young man with even bigger problems... And what a path that follows!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2024I was left a little disappointed at the end. I feel I don’t have any idea of what is going on or even who the people are. But mostly the end of the story seems to be missing.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2021When I started reading this book, it was slow and i had trouble seeing the correlation between the two sets of characters. I even considered just to quit reading the book. But once I did, I couldn’t put the book down. It had a great storyline just took a little time for me to get into it. You will love this book. I loved it so much I pre-ordered book 2.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2022I loved the characters and the story. There were twists and turns that made it even better. Have to get book two.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2021Fostered Identity starts out slow building up revealing one secret after another that kept me on the edge of my seat wondering and waiting how everything was going to intertwine in the end. There were more twists and turns than a spiral staircase. I was drawn in from the first page wondering what was going on as each character was introduced giving us a little insight into each as their stories were revealed.
The suspense and mystery alone are enough to keep those pages turning. All of the characters were great and amazing people well, maybe not all but most. There was this one character which I kept waiting for each and every appearance to see where they were going to end up next. A character that I do consider as one of the main characters in Fostered Identity and that is the jewels themselves.
The more I think about Fostered Identity the more I come to like it. I really enjoyed getting to know all the characters especially Shyla, and her sister Hannah, Damien, and his brother Jordan. Shyla and Damien were drawn into each other's lives by their siblings even if it was unintentional on their part.
Although they didn’t know each other and didn’t know if they should trust a stranger they really had no choice in the matter if they were going to save the ones they loved. Damien and Shyla both were going to do whatever it took to keep their siblings safe.
I would recommend Fostered Identity to all fans of mystery, suspense, and thriller stories. One-click your copy of this great suspense thriller, Fostered Identity today for a very mysterious read.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2023Be prepared to buy more books go follow the story. The ending will leave you hanging with lose ends. Slow beginning.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2021Fostered Identity is book 1 in The Twisted Deception Suspense Thriller Mystery Series. This novel is a stand alone as are the rest of the books in this series, no cliffhangers. But there is a consistent story running in the background. The story that connects all the novels. You are going to want to read every books in this series or you will miss the best part of all. When Maggie Thom puts pen to paper it is as if an artist has put brush to canvas. As he paints the scenes and the storyline he also paints you into the landscape almost as if you are an active participant, but for lass, you are on the sidelines watching the drama. You want to talk to them but you are the audience. The painting is dramatic and you fell honored to be a participant. You must watch carefully as an avid read of Monroe you will find that all of a sudden he paints a character from another series into his scene and now it is up to you to put the pieces together! This is a brilliant read! It pulled me in from beginning to end and held my attention. The world building is detailed and imaginative. This novel has strong, well developed characters and an interesting story line that keeps you turning the pages. I recommend this novel and would read more novels by this author. I gave this honest, voluntary review after being given a free copy of the novel.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2021I have read other books from this author. I was totally confused for the first 7 to 8 chapters trying to figure out how the characters connected. Too many fake names involved. I did finish the book kind of figuring out how they connected. Suspenseful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cliffhangers Galore
This book is advertised as follows: All books in the series have standalone stories, no cliffhangers for it. Unfortunately there are several cliffhangers in Fostered Identity, which means if you want the answers you are going to be forced to purchase the next 3 books. The story was interesting, but I was left with the feeling of being cheated as I expected to have answers to the many mysteries and instead was left hanging or forced to buy the rest of the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars "Hard going"
Didn't feel the love with this one. It started slowly, and didn't improve. Moving swiftly on to another writer. Disappointing,

4.0 out of 5 stars Confusing story
Seemed disjointed at the beginning as though each chapter was a seperate story. Eventually came together with some unusual twists
