Illusions in Paint Kindle Edition

by Ann M. Miller (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.9 out of 5 stars (12)

FROM EXCITING AUTHOR OF YA FICTION ANN M. MILLER

The sequel to Captured in Paint

When art and illusion collide, no one is safe.

Eight months ago, Julia Parsons learned to control her strongest emotions—the ones that created doorways into paintings. With her Vista magic now in check, she has stopped looking for the descendant of the witch rumoured to have the power to remove her abilities. But when her magic goes haywire and paintings begin calling to her, she can barely resist opening portals into any works of art she encounters.

Then Julia runs into Luke Mercer, who offers to help her find the descendant, a teen named Marisa. When Julia’s boyfriend Nick joins the search, they locate the girl—in an art gallery, of all places. Before Julia can ask Marisa to remove her magic, the call of so many paintings overwhelms her, and she opens multiple portals at once. Marisa is sucked into one, and Julia and the boys are forced to enter works of art to get her back.

As Julia’s connection to the art intensifies, so does the danger lurking in the deep corners of the paintings they move through. In order to save Marisa and her friends, Julia will have to separate reality from illusion…and fully embrace the magic that runs through her veins, once and for all.

    After reading Captured in Paint, I was salivating for Illusions for a long time!
    Julia and her magic are back, and whoa, the ride ... first to find out how Luke is involved, then watching them get pulled further into the mystery and adding Julia's boyfriend Nick to the mix -- genius! The twists and turns as Julia and the boys get "stuck" in different paintings and solve the mystery of why Julia has her ability in the first place and why she's compelled to risk so much. I was on the edge of my seat reading this. The author's ability to draw me into the both the art and the story kept me turning pages until the very end.

    This sequel is just as delightful as book 1 (Captured in Paint), really creative and well-written! I loved being back with Julia and that we have even more magic, more suspense, and especially more paintings. The world-building is so vivid and beautiful that I felt like I was stepping into a painting myself. Overall, this is a magical read with some sweet romance and plenty of excitement and suspense!

    The way Ann Miller writes is captivating from the beginning and you just want to keep reading and reading and not stop. It is both descriptive and has great world building (important for a fantasy) but also is interesting and has a hint of mystery/suspense throughout so that you aren't bored (you can tell there's more to the story than we know). I was reading as fast as I could (especially toward the end), and even though it's a pretty long book, I was disappointed when it was over. I wanted more!! But the ending is amazing as is the rest of the book and totally throws you for a twist. I received this novel from Story Origin and this is my honest review.

    I read the first book and had to read the second to know what happens next in the world with Julia, and Nick. I was pulled right into the world and ending up finishing the book in one sitting, just turning the pages and desperate to know more. The story was engaging, the twists and turns tightly woven through the words. I loved the world that Miller has created, the limitations and the expectations promised in the blurb all hit home perfectly. An enjoyable read and an author for me to watch in future. Overall, very much enjoyed and recommended!

    I read the first book in this series and really enjoyed the unique magic that Julia has. A great YA series.
    A big surprise, but much needed, was Luke's character development and how his experience with Julia's magic changed his life again.
    The author does reveal the origin of Julia's "Vista" magic, though it is left for the reader to question if it is truly a gift or a curse.
    Definitely worth reading, though I highly recommend reading the first book in the series, Captured in Paint, before reading this book.
    I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving an honest review

    4.0 out of 5 stars Can Julia finally figure out what caused the curse on her family?
    Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2022

    Illusions in Paint by Ann M. Miller is about looking at what life dealt you and seizing the day.

    Can Julia finally figure out what caused the curse on her family?

    Julia
    Julia is back with her Vista powers that she found out about in the last book. She is trying to control them, but they have gotten stronger. The power is so strong that she starts to paint in her sleep despite not picking up paints. Julia wants the powers gone so that she can live a normal life without fear of trapping anyone into a painting again. I sometimes liked and didn't like Julia this time around. I like Julia because she cares about her family and her boyfriend. The other thing that I like about her is that she wants to protect her boyfriend from herself. However, this is also a dislike for me because she is overprotective of Nick at times.

    The Boys
    Nick is Julia's boyfriend, and they are adorable around each other. He is a good person for Julia to be around as he centers her the best that he can. Nick does get a bit jealous, especially with talks about Luke, but that does seem reasonable to me. For Julia, Nick would do anything for her, even if it gets him hurt in the process. If Julia could concentrate on something else, perhaps there wouldn't be any issues. Nick is a good character, and I'm glad we saw more of this cheesy guy this time around.

    Now for Luke. The whole reason why Julia is worried about Nick being near her is if her powers act up around a painting, he could be hurt. Luke has changed from the sarcastic teenage guy to a mellower guy in the past eight months. He can ground Julia and help keep Julia from using her powers or opening any portals, or getting sucked into any as well. We learn a lot more about Luke in her, and I'm all for that as it is fantastic to see him grow.

    The trio is back trying to get Marisa out of the paintings despite Nick nor Luke wanting the other to go with Julia into the paintings.

    Four Stars
    Illusions in Paint by Ann M. Miller is the second book in the Captured in Paint series. Julia, Nick, and Luke are back to figure out why Julia's powers have grown and how she can take the curse off her family. Life has thrown Julia a curveball with these extreme powers. Will Julia accept her powers as a part of her, or will she let the powers control her? Pick up the book and find out for yourself. I am giving it four stars and recommending it to you young adult fantasy readers out there.

    I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Finch Books Book Tours. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

    Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Illusions in Paint by Ann M. Miller.

    Until the next time,

    5.0 out of 5 stars Such a great escape!
    Reviewed in Canada on January 11, 2022

    I loved the first book in the series, so I was really excited to dive into the second book. And I was not disappointed!

    The author continues the story of Julia, a young Vista witch who has recently discovered that she has powers that transport her, through paintings, into other worlds. In this second book, she is able to better harness her powers, but also finds that they take her to places she has never dreamed. She is on a hunt to discover how her powers first emerged and the story behind them.

    This book is full of twists and turns, and the world building within each painting is breathtaking. I fell in love with the characters, as well as Julia’s struggle to balance her own desires. The author was able to capture authentic teenage feelings of love and a search for belonging, while sprinkling in a bit of magic. This book was such a great escape in a time when we all need to step away from reality for a moment!
