THEY ARE YOUNG.THEY ARE CRIMINALS.
THEY ARE IMMUNE.
When the MK virus swept across the planet, a vaccine was created to stop the epidemic, but it came with some unexpected side effects. A small percentage of the population developed superhero-like powers, and Americans suffering from these so-called adverse effects were given an ultimatum: Serve the country or be declared a traitor.
Some people chose a third option: live a life of crime.
Seventeen-year-old Ciere Giba has the handy ability to change her appearance at will. She's what's known as an illusionist. She's also a thief. After crossing a gang of mobsters, Ciere must team up with a group of fellow superpowered criminals on a job that most would have considered impossible: a hunt for the formula that gave them their abilities. It was supposedly destroyed years ago - but what if it wasn't?
Government agents are hot on their trail, and the lines between good and bad, us and them, and freedom and entrapment are blurred as Ciere and the rest of her crew become embroiled in a deadly race that could cost them their lives.

This was billed on Goodreads as The X-Men meets Ocean's Eleven in this edge-of-your-seat sci-fi adventure about a band of "super" criminals. For the most part it delivered on that claim. The superhero elements of the story and the world building was very good. The plot was interesting, even if I do wish the heists had been a bit more exciting. The characters were as interesting as they were likable and even the villains had interesting and believable motivations for acting as they did. This wasA bit disappointed. Illusive has almost all it takes to be a great book. Almost. The biggest problem: flat characters. I couldn't bring myself to care for these characters. The main character, Ciere, is so stupid that she made me want to weep, I'm not kidding. I wanted to put on my best Sheldon-Cooper-face and tell her how stupid and oblivious she was. It has been a while since I actually loathed a female protagonist so much and I didn't expect to hate Ciere, because young criminals are my
Oh my god. Literally everyone on the planet needs to pick up this book. Absolutely hooked from page 1. I'm definitely going to be doing a spoiler free review on my channel, but WOAH. Any lover of Sci-Fi/dystopians (especially the darkest minds series because I swear it's like TDM's long lost cousin or something) wil 100% adore this book. I can't wait for the sequel!!!
One difficulty associated with being on the interwebs at all times is that I often cant recall where I found a recommendation. My browsing process goes like this: click on a shiny link!, read about book, decide it is for me, go straight to library website, place hold perhaps leave a comment? But most likely just close out the window/tab, and go on to the next blog post. Related note: I need to keep better track of the reviews that inspire me to click and eventually read books! Credit *must* be
4.5 stars!SO GOOD. AWESOME ACTION AND PLOT. Took away 0.5 stars because the characters made dumb decisions, but otherwise SO cool. And the ending?! THE FRIGGIN ENDING. I literally yelled out OMG and threw my book down.
HOLY CRAP YES!!!!ILLUSIVE is one of the most incredible books I have EVER read. This book blew me away. The writing style, the pacing, the plot, the characters...the INCREDIBLE concept. Everything about ILLUSIVE was top notch. I was shocked that Emily Lloyd-Jones was a debut author. ILLUSIVE was written like a movie. I would not be surprised if, in the next few years, it found a place on the big screen. In this futuristic thriller, the world has been saved from a plague by a new drug. But a side
My first impression upon finishing this book was, That's all that happened? It's not by any means a bad book, and some people might like it for what it is, and I clearly thought it was "okay" given the two star rating, but after over a week later, I barely remember what happened until I read the summary again.What we're lacking in Illusive is both character development and plot. We see characters with special abilities because of some freak vaccine that was meant for curing a disease, and we see
