Dark Delusions

(Grasshopper, March 24, 2013)
Book Two of the Mischief & Magick Trilogy: So much in Felicity (Lissy) McKaughnalin’s life has changed. Her “normal” but dull existence in Denver is but a distant memory since she went to live with her grandmother in Ireland, landing far beyond her imaginings. Magick is now a part of her daily routine—and her daily fear. Her new love Joren has vanished, having left to track down his “not so dead” mother; and Grandma K’s life was suddenly taken from them in the Nyemin Forest. Joren’s mysterious brother Jarek is up to no good. And well, basically, Lissy’s life is becoming more complicated by the minute. In this action-and-romance packed sequel to Wicked Wrong, allies will become foes and foes will become allies. Felicity’s once comfortable world has been turned upside down, and she no longer knows whom she can trust. The dark forces are rising and the mysteries are unraveling. The creatures are more frightening and definitions of “impossible” are being shattered. Is there a chance of saving everyone? Is it absurd to hope? Or is it simply…a dark delusion? “What is life without knowledge? What is knowledge without imagination? April dives into the pool of creativity, and uses life, knowledge, and imagination to create a world filled with magic, mayhem, love, and unforgettable characters.” — Nicole Spencer
