![]() I probably would not have even made it that far if I hadn't been reading it for a a book tour. I got almostĩ0% into this story and did not care what happened to any of the characters, so I just skimmed the rest of the book. ![]() I have a confession to make about Born of Illusion. Could the stories her mother has told her really be true? Could she really be the illegitimate daughter of the greatest magician of all? (From Goodreads) But when a strange, serious young man moves into the flat downstairs, introducing her to a secret society that studies people with gifts like hers, he threatens to reveal the secrets Anna has fought so hard to keep, forcing her to face the truth about her past. The real trick is keeping her true gifts secret from her opportunistic mother, who will stop at nothing to gain her ambition of becoming the most famous medium who ever lived. Handcuffs and sleight of hand illusions have never been much of a challenge for Anna. By sixteen she’s street smart and savvy, assisting her mother, the renowned medium Marguerite Van Housen, in her stage show and séances, and easily navigating the underground world of magicians, mediums and mentalists in 1920’s New York City. ![]() Anna Van Housen is thirteen the first time she breaks her mother out of jail.
