'I have received this book from the author in return of an honest review.'Just to begin, I have to say that I truly did enjoy this book and almost had to pry it from my own fingers at times to get anything else done. When I first began reading Illumine the thought that it was going to be very similar to some other YA books I've read crossed my mind. Oh boy was I wrong. A change of events happens when the main character, Essellie, seemingly meets her fate....at the near beginning of the book no less. Along with that she meets her, now, life-long nemesis, Kayden. Essie is a seemingly normal, everyday girl with normal, everyday problems until her boyfriend and who she thought was her BFF decide they want to use her as bait....I won't tell you why due to spoilers, but you get the picture. Anyway, after this happens a long chain of abnormal events follow that turns Essie's world upside down. As she desperately struggles to find her way out of the rabbit hole she has fallen into called 'her life' she finds herself unfailingly sinking deeper and deeper into an abyss of a world she never phathomed to exist.I must say, hats off to you Alivia Anders and this excellent book that you have written.~AC Wright (WaAR)~Obumbrate (The Illumine Series)Ethereal: An Illumine Series Novella (The Illumine Series)Riven (The Illumine Series)The Illumine Series: Books 1 & 2
