ILLUSION
THE REVELATIONS SERIES
By Jamie A. Hope
When alluring teenager Salem Stone becomes a magnet for assaulting demons and suddenly develops superhuman abilities, family secrets are revealed that will not only endanger his life and the life of his childhood love—but the lives of everyone on earth.
Back Story:
Magnetic teenager Salem Stone dominates the football field, wrestling mat, and hearts of all of the girls at his school. But off the mat he is easy going, especially when it comes to his childhood love, Sarah.
Salem lives a charmed life until he is attacked by demons, leaving him with physical wounds. Salem struggles to keep the repeated assaults a secret, until he confides in his long time best friend Ben, who strangely dismisses the wounds with a logical explanation.
When Salem attempts to outrun the menacing demons, he develops superhuman abilities, leaving him with even more questions. Looking for an escape from the mental and physical torture, he becomes fixated on an irresistible new girl at school, Lily. As Salem focuses his attention on Lily, everything around him devolves into chaos, including his relationship with Sarah.
What he soon finds is the relentless pursuits by demons and his superhuman abilities are triggered by the same source—life threatening family secrets. Just when he thinks his family and friends are not who he thought they were, he discovers he’s not who he thought he was either—and that he is the most hunted teenager on the planet.
And he has just been found.

Review:
I received a copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoy young adult books. There is something about that time in our lives when the world is just opening up but is so confusing at the same time. Salem epitomized that. He is trying to be his own person and make decisions. The characters are what I liked most about this book. They were developed and interesting and i could imagine them attending my high school, living in my neighborhood.. And even pretty realistic considering their supernatural powers. There is a religious theme to the story which I understand is important to the plot, although may be a bit much for some readers. I think some editing could bring this story to its full potential.
