Illusions
by Aprilynne Pike

Flap Copy description:
"I don't do patrols, I don't go hunting, I just stick close to you. You live your life, I'll keep you safe," Tamani said, sweeping a lock of hair from her face. "Or die trying."

Laurel hasn't seen Tamani since she begged him to let her go last year. Though her heart still aches, Laurel is confident that David was the right choice.
But just as life returns to normal, Laurel realizes that a hidden enemy lies in wait. Once again, Laurel must turn to Tamani to protect and guide her, for the danger that now threatens Avalon is one that no faerie thought would ever be possible. And for the first time, Laurel cannot be sure that her side will prevail.

My thoughts:
Illusions is the third book in Aprilynne Pike's series about Laurel - a teenage faerie. Like the first two books - Wings and Spells - this story has colorful characters and an entertaining plot. All three books, I believe, would be appropriate for readers from fourteen and up. Illusions is a popular choice at our community library; I had to wait for two months for it to become available to check out!
