This brings in a whole new cast of characters: the other faeries who live in Avalon and train Laurel on being a faerie during her summer breaks. Laurel spends most of her free time with David, Tamani, and/or practicing her faerie skills in her bedroom. So, these characters are off attending high school, keeping the secrets of Faerie a secret, going to school dances heavily guarded by more sentries, protecting themselves and their human families, and avoiding the trolls that are out to discover the secret gates to Avalon, home of the faeries. It’s so nice to read a book where the high schoolers don’t act like stereotypical high schoolers. These people are not annoying, whiny little teenagers. They are all different, they have personality, and they are all people I could see myself being friends with. There’s also a troll-hunter, Klea who I don’t like, and Klea’s foster child from Japan, Yuki. There’s Laurel, her boyfriend David, her sentry/guardian Tamani, her best friend Chelsea, and Chelsea’s boyfriend Ryan. It was magical, romantic, adventurous, and I got through it in 24 hours!įor the most part, I really like the characters. Illusions is my favorite of the Wings series so far. And for the first time, Laurel cannot be sure that her side will prevail. 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. Though her heart still aches, Laurel is confident that David was the right choice.īut just as life is returning to normal, Laurel discovers that a hidden enemy lies in wait. Laurel hasn't seen Tamani since she begged him to let her go last year. I'll keep you safe,' Tamani said, sweeping a lock of hair from her face. 'I don't do patrols, I don't go hunting, I just stick close to you. Genres: Fantasy, Paranormal, Paranormal Romance, Romance
