Illuminated by Iris Marsh
One night, a woman meets a fate worse than death. Yet oblivious to the threat looming over her, well-meaning but self-centered Nikki has a lot of drama to deal with: a best friend who’s more interested in the popular girl, a dad who seems too flirty with the waitress, and a boy who finally notices her. Normal stuff. All faded in comparison when a traumatic event exposes her supernatural powers. A power that can make people feel, think, and believe whatever she tells them to. A power some would kill for. All around her, others with the same power are being drained, stripped of their magic and essence. Nikki can either become the hunted or the hunter. But who can she trust? Choose right, and she can stop the evil villain. Choose wrong, and she’ll succumb to the addiction that comes with the power to control. It’s time for Nikki to grow up–fast. Else, it might not just be her own life on the line, but the fate of the entire world. If you had the power to control someone, would you? Illuminated by Iris Marsh is a YA contemporary coming-of-age fantasy packed with suspense and thrilling mystery. It deals with important themes, such as coping with difficult emotions, navigating relationships with family and friends, and the addictive quality of power. Perfect for anyone who loves teen drama and meets supernatural threats. Illuminated is the first book of a duology but can be read as a standalone.
