Hoping to discover an exciting new talent, Dane ventures into the coffee shop and is transfixed by the magic he sees, illusions that even he, a seasoned professional, cannot explain. But more than anything, he is emotionally devastated by this teenager who has never met him, doesn’t know him, is certainly not in love with him, but is in every respect identical to the young beauty he first met and married some forty years earlier.
They begin a furtive relationship as mentor and protÉgÉe, but even as Dane tries to sort out who she really is and she tries to understand why she is drawn to him, they are watched by secretive interests who not only possess the answers to Mandy’s powers and misplacement in time but also the roguish ability to decide what will become of her.
Frank Peretti has crafted a rich, rewarding story of love and life, loss and restoration, full of twists and mystery. Exceptionally well written, Illusion will soon prove another Peretti classic.
My Thoughts:
I didn't actually "read' this book in the usual way. I listeded to an unabridged reading of it during my many long walks preparing for my half marathon. It was good, unexpected. I was definately left guessing where the storyline was going. There were lots of twists and turns in the plot. I liked the romance part of it a lot. Sweet to see the tenderness of Dane's feelings for Mandy. I always know that when I pick up a Peretti book, it will be unique and fascinating.
