Ever gone to sleep and then woken up in an alternate reality where your friends and family aren't the same versions of who they once were and somehow you're entire history has been rewritten but you've gone forward in time? Well, Nick Gautier experiences this in the fifth book of the Chronicles of Nick series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.

Nothing is the same for Nick any longer. I think he's regretting all those times he wished he were just a normal teen who didn't have the weight of the world on his shoulders. As Nick tries to find his way back to his own world, he soon realizes that he doesn't have many people who he can trust. Everyone else thinks something is wrong with him so the chances of him returning to his own world has considerably diminished. Out of all the books so far, I think ILLUSION is the best of the series. Integrating some epic worldbuilding and some cool twists and turns, this book encompasses all that I enjoy about Sherrilyn Kenyon's work.

Seeing Nick's confusion was adorable but the whole situation really improves on his character. With no one to help him, Nick is essentially tackling this problem on his own so it's a great chance to see what his character is made of. Kenyon makes some serious leaps and bounds in Nick's character that I loved.

What's also fun and exciting is that if you're also a reader of Kenyon's other series, the Dark Hunters, which is heavily connected to this series, then you'll get some insider tips and details that make ILLUSION extra special for loyal fans.
