Illusory

The Marked, Book 8

De: Bianca Scardoni

Narrado por: Bailey Carr

The line between good and evil is seldom pure and never simple ...

I used to think the truth was as clear and pure as my heart. Now, nothing is certain. Not the love I feel for two men—one reborn in darkness, the other clawing his way back to me. And certainly not the prophesy telling me that I'm destined to become the Fourth Horseman.

The Order has given me my mission: fulfill my destiny by destroying Lucifer's unborn child and the girl carrying it. But destiny has never felt so wrong. Every instinct is screaming that this child isn't the monster they say it is. That it's something else entirely—something terrifyingly familiar.

What if the real danger has been right in front of my eyes all this time?

The deeper I dig, the more the world twists around me. Illusions masquerade as truth and all of it tastes like a carefully woven lie. I still don't know what to do, who to love, or which side to trust.

All I know is that one choice will break me.

The other one might doom us all.

Either way, I'm going to lose everything.

Illusory is the highly anticipated eight book in the Marked Saga, a fast-paced paranormal fantasy romance series full of heart-pounding steam, supernatural adventure, and jaw-dropping twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last moment. Please note, this is a massive 180K-word double-feature book that ends on a cliff-hanger.

Listener discretion: This book contains graphic language and sexual content and is not suitable for listeners under 17.

Dominic

Can’t get enough of Dominic! Can’t wait for the next book. Absolutely love this series. I never want it to end. The narrator is also the best I’ve ever heard.

Not worth it.

Even though the FMC annoys me to know end and I spend the majority of the book rolling my eyes, I continue to listen because of the great storyline. With that said, If a storyline is what you're looking for DO NOT BUY this book. The whole book is about her poor emotionally driven decisions and her complete and utter idiocy. I was extremely happy when this one ended. Instead of making informed decisions or learning from past mistakes, she chooses to make selfish self-serving decisions that benefit no one. After the fact, she asks herself "what was I thinking," then proceeds to repeat the same actions chapter after chapter. It's extremely repetitive and disappointing. If you've read one chapter you've truly read them all. Good luck if you risk it.

I could sum up this book in 5 sentences

I waited 2 years for this book to come out…, Urg. Very disappointing. Nothing really happened the entire book. Gemma comes off as an idiot too doing just dumb stuff. I only had 2 chapters left and it look me two weeks to get through them. Cringe worthy end. I’m giving two stars only because the previous books were good.

Drags On and On

Was hoping this book would be more exciting and started skipping through chapters hoping it would pick up.

there really wasn't a story. it was all about Dominic and Trace. I am really disappointed 😞 😔 😕

I loved the other books but this one went on and on and on about how much she loved both of them. this book was definitely not as good as the other ones
