Deadly Illusion by Kathy LockheartMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
2.5 Stars
I wanted to love Deadly Illusion - the blurb was promising, I wanted to get to know Damien the fighter and I was excited for Jenna to find the right guy. A lot of these elements were done ok, but I felt some areas were overdramatised. I liked the connection between Jenna and Damian, but Jenna was quick to push her friend Zoey away.
The domestic abuse element started well, but took a weird turn, which was a bit unrealistic. I skipped through the last 30% of the book as I was getting annoyed with how the book was unfolding, and I just wanted to see how it ended. I think that the drama was well over the top and I would’ve like to see more of Damian’s world.
