Frank, you dont dissapoint!

Another great sci fi book by frank peretti. In this one, we follow magician Dan Collins while he tries to unravel the mystery of why this girl who looks exactly like his dead wife (but 40 years younger) keeps popping up and how can she do the things she does? Its a very fun story without too much fear or violence. Making perfect for younger-ish readers (10+) While it wasnt as breathtaking as some of his others, Illusion fits very well within the confines of sci fi/thriller with a dash of romance. A very good standalone novel <3

Illusion

I loved this book!! I'm not one for scary books, but this one was just right! It kept me on edge and I really enjoyed all the twists and turns! Very good book!!

Intriguing

If I had to label the novel, I'd call Illusion a "faith-based/sci-fi /romance ...with a lot of twists" presented by an excellent writer. Reading about the magic was fun and trying to figure out why Mandy was in more than one place at one time and who might be in control of time and space was, as my headline, states...intriguing.

Illusion is a very disjointed story

I did not finish this book. Not even half way through. Illusion is about a magician, Dane whose magician wife, Mandy, dies and he struggles with the loss. Suddenly, 19 year old Mandy is transported from the 1970s to 2010. She comes in contact with 60 year old Dane while trying to do magic tricks and he tutors her. Meantime, there’s two mysterious men stalking Many (now calling herself Eloise) and a mysterious soldier who was attacked. Also, there is a lot of detail about how Eloise does her magic tricks which may magic or unknown powers.
