Born of Illusion
Born of Illusion | Teri Brown
5 posts | 12 read | 14 to read
For fans of Libba Bray and Anna Godbersen, this thrilling historical suspense novel is the story of a budding magician who has spent her life playing sidekick to her faux-medium mother—and trying to hide the fact that she possesses magnificent powers. As the illegitimate daughter of Harry Houdini—or so her mother claims—gifted illusionist Anna Van Housen easily navigates the underground world of magicians and mediums in 1920s New York, though the real trick is keeping her true gifts secret from her opportunistic mother. But as Anna's powers intensify, she experiences frightening visions that lead her to explore the powers she's tried so long to hide. Lovers of historical fiction and stories filled with romance and intrigue will fall for Born of Illusion and its whip-smart, savvy protagonist.

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it. Some will be old, some will be new - don't judge me, I have a lot of books.

Day 139th

Join the fun if you want!

DNF'D 35 pages in. I could get over the MCs constant whining about her mother. It felt like it was every other paragraph. Definitely had a "I'm super special" feel to it as well. #dnf #prettycover

This had been on my TBR for along time and I finally got around to reading it. I really enjoyed it, it was fast paced and involved the spirit world and magic. It takes place in the 1920s which is one of my favorite decades in American history. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel!
