About this ebook

The mind-blowing beginning of a futuristic series about the seductive nature of a perfect virtual world and how far one girl will go to uncover the truth behind the illusions.

A new technology is sweeping the country. To enter Elusion®, you need an app, a visor, and a wristband, and you'll be virtually transported to an exotic destination where adventure comes without the complications or consequences of real life. When there are accusations that Elusion is addictive and dangerous, Regan is determined to defend it and is pulled into incredible new worlds to discover deeply buried truths—and to make the ultimate choice between love and loyalty. . . .

Full of thrilling mystery, romance, and intriguing technology, this Inception-inspired thriller is perfect for fans of dystopian and sci-fi novels such as Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, Matched by Ally Condie, and Partials by Dan Wells, and is continued in the sequel, Etherworld.

  • Mind-Bending Mystery: As Regan seeks to defend her father's legacy, the lines between the real world and the virtual one begin to blur. Is Elusion the paradise it seems, or a prison for the mind?
  • A Dangerous Utopia: Elusion is touted as the perfect escape, but whispers of addiction and a sinister corporate agenda suggest a darker truth is hiding behind the perfect code.
  • Dystopian Romance: Torn between her loyalties to her best friend Patrick and a mysterious new ally, Regan must make a choice that could cost her everything—including her heart.
The mind-blowing beginning of a futuristic series about the seductive nature of a perfect virtual world and how far one girl will go to uncover the truth behind the illusions.

Elusion is a book placed in a somewhat realistic near-future city where all of the nature is disappearing. Elusion, a VR "game", is becoming increasingly popular, and it could be dangerous. I'm not sure what about this book lured me in, perhaps it's the popularity of all these VR based light novels and anime *cough* Anything by Reki Kawahara *cough* , but I don't regret reading it and neither will you.
