Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted at Breaking the Spine that spotlights eagerly awaited upcoming releases.
Illusion by Martina Boone || Release date: October 2016
Caged by secrets all around her and haunted by mistakes that have estranged her from Eight Beaufort, Barrie Watson is desperate to break the curse that puts her family in danger — without breaking the beautiful magic that protects Watson’s Landing. To do that, she must heal the rifts that have split the families of the island apart for three hundred years, unravel the mystery of the Fire Carrier and the spirits he guards, and take control of forces so deadly and awe-inspiring they threaten to overwhelm her.
With the spirits that cursed Watson Island centuries ago awake and more dangerous than ever, she finds an unlikely ally in the haunting and enigmatic Obadiah, whose motivations and power she still can’t read — or trust. His help comes at a price, however, plunging Barrie into a deadly maze of magic and wonder, mystery and intrigue that leads through history to places she never imagined she could go.

Time was that all of my YA reading centered around next-book-in-a-series reads. Nowadays, I'm not keeping up with many YA series at all (I've only finished a handful of YA series in my time). So, it's a testament to Martina Boone's The Heirs of Watson Island series that not only am I planning on seeing out this series, I'm actually looking forward to it too!
This series has a setting to die for, a charming leading guy, and would you look at that cover - so swoony!
