Illusions of Evil (Illusions, #1)

by Lily White

[Eve1972]

I am giving this cover 4 stars but to be honest I am not sure if I like it or I don't. It is a perfect representation of the story. The composition is excellent. I am not a HUGE fan of the title work or the placement of the author's name. But my main issue is it is just SO bright white. It wouldn't be so bad if the title work were a dark color but the silver color with the white makes it all blend into something that is a bit too stark and needs something to add a little depth to it.

Well, this was certainly an interesting little book. It wasn't at all what I thought it was going to be. That said, I enjoyed it nevertheless. This is the third book I have read by this author, and all of them have been unique and impressive. Miz White is quickly becoming a must read author for me.



I think I am going to leave this review a bit on the vague side. I don't want to spoil any of the plot or twists and turns. The writing was fantastic, and it was well paced. The plot was engaging and multi-faceted and kept me turning the pages. The sex scenes were hot and reasonably plentiful. I wouldn't exactly call this romance, so I am not going to bother with outlining OW/OM drama. The characters were intriguing and relatively well developed. They were also nicely flawed. Slightly demented (OK maybe more than slightly). Suitably damaged and still, I found myself inexplicably drawn to them. I would have liked to have gotten a bit more background on the main ones but since there is going to be a book two hopefully more of that is coming. Fingers crossed...

Not much left for me to say about this one. I liked it a lot, and I'm intrigued to see where this author is headed with this story and with these characters. This gets a solid two thumbs up from yours truly.
