Kaniesha's Waiting on Wednesday #15: Illusion by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

Title: Illusion
Author: Sherrilyn Kenyon
Series: Chronicles of Nick #5
Release date: April 1, 2014

Synopsis: Be careful what you wish for . . . 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.



I've gone on about this series before and I even made my mom read the books. I don't read a lot of books with male POV - not because I don't want to, but because I never come across too many - and this is a GREAT series. It changed the way I think about a lot of things. I think this one might be the last in the series and I'm sad about that but I'm also definitely ready to let it go. And ready to see what choices Nick makes!

  1. Oooh yes, I'm waiting on this one, too! Although I admit I still haven't read Inferno. I have some catching up to do, but at least I have time!

    1. I think this might be the last one? I'm not sure though! I know I don't see any more on the series list on Goodreads!
