ILLUSION
THE REVELATIONS SERIES
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.

My Review:
Salem Stone has everything going for him, I mean... even his name is sounds smooth, doesn't it? But with his
upcoming 18th birthday his whole world begins to change. Let's just say that puberty was nothing compared to this. A love story filled with religion and science fiction all rolled up into a great YA book, a great start to the Revelations Series from author Jamie A. Hope.

Easy to read and with a storyline and characters I fell right into, I am looking forward to what the author has up her sleeve for Salem, Sarah and Ben.
This may be a Young Adult series, but I think any paranormal or suspense fans will enjoy both the storyline and the writing style.
