The Illusions was completely and utterly riveting - I couldn’t put it down!
It’s the late 1890’s and The Greatest Magician is ready to hand over his mantle (wand?) to George Perris. George meets Eadie Carlton, a photographer and pioneering film-maker, and decides that he wants to try and incorporate her work into his show.

Cecily Marsden finds herself alone again when her con artist master dies suddenly, and she gets a job in the house of his nephew. But the nephew has some secrets of his own. Luckily, Cec meets a kind gentleman who only wants to help her and take her away from her employer.

Cec, George and Eadie soon find themselves working together on the greatest magic show, and Cec has to try and save the performance from sabotage.

I loved this: there’s stage magic, a bit of ‘real’ magic and the excitement of the modern age and film. It’s exciting (will the show go on?), romantic (will they EVER get together?) and frankly magical (of course!).

I’m so glad I read this, it really did start my summer holidays on a high!

Fairy Tale indeed!

I absolutely fell in love with this series! Adventure, magic, a love story featuring a beast of a man, an evil villian who you would love to see fail, and an ending that leaves you gasping and grabbing the next book! My all time favorite series and such an amazing author!

I loved this book, there wasn't a thing I would change about it. Katie was extremely likeable, Owen was adorable, and everyone else just added to the story. This was just the perfect book for me: magic, fantasy, romance (well, kind of), clever, and a totally fun read! I cannot wait to read the sequel!

I wrote a long-ass review for this but then windows (fuck you) decided to restart so quick summary-
Great:
world, characters, magic, mystery, and 'Relax, Crimson'
Bad:
Scarlett x Julian romance
Fuck you Author:
ALL THE FUCKING PLOT TWISTS WHAT THE FUCK

This has been a short summary of my long-ass review

I am a bit embarrased to admit that I thought this book was called Carnival for a good majority of it.. It is a really good story. There are so many plot twists! I couldn't put it down.

This book was great. The magic was very realistic which I enjoyed. The plot was intriguing, but the characters were really what kept me going. The relationship between Kell and Lila was very interesting to watch develop. I loved to hate the Dane twins, as well as I loved nearly everything about this book.
