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.

Drags On and On

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

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.

Been following

What happened to actual storyline? It really turned into soft porn by this book, I wanna know more about the Nephilim powers and what happened to the son of perdition and where is Nikki and where is Morgan and why is Tessa eating so much and where did the storyline even go? It’s all sex by chapter 55. Yes that’s the chapter. I’m on right now. I’m going to finish the end of the book and I’m pretty sure there’s one after. I actually skipped that chapter because what happened to the order and the sister that are with Nikki and the order and why did they block Morgan’s powers? What is Gemma’s powers besides sex and lust. If this is something that foretell the final book I will not be reading, yes I enjoyed they as a side thing but not as the 100% main story!
