Be careful what you wish for…After reading Inferno I was kind of skeptical going into Illusion. Inferno let me down and wasn't as good as the rest of the books, in my opinion, but Illusion did not disappoint! I felt like things were back as should have been. Illusion was very different because it was set in alternate world, if I'm using the correct term here. Somehow someone has switched Nick's soul and put it into someone else's body in an alternate world. So Nick has to find a way out of this place and get back to his body so he can be his awesome self again. But things weren't easy. Some of the people who he trusts in his 'real' reality cannot be trusted in the one he's stuck in. The people are different and his enemies are still trying to kill him but he doesn't have his powers to fight back.
You just might get it.
Nick Gautier is tired of his destiny. He doesn’t want to be the son of a demon who’s fated to end the world. Nor does he want to see another demon or other preternatural creature who wants to kill or enslave him. He just wants to be normal and have normal problems like everyone else.
But normality isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When he gets sucked into an alternate reality where his mother has married his mentor and his Atlantean god best friend has become a human geek, he begins to understand that no life is free of pain, and that every person has a specific place in the universe… Even the son of a hated demon.
Most of all, he sees that his powers aren’t the curse he thought they were, and that the world needs a champion, especially one its enemies can’t imagine rising up to defend the ones he should destroy.
Old enemies and new friends square off for a major battle that will either restore Nick to his real world, or end him forever.
