Born of Deception (Born of Illusion #2) 
But when Anna arrives in London, she finds the group in turmoil. Sensitives are disappearing and, without a suspect, the group’s members are turning on one another. Could the kidnapper be someone within the society itself—or has the nefarious Dr. Boyle followed them to London?
As Cole and Anna begin to unravel the case and secrets about the society are revealed, they find themselves at odds, their plans for romance in London having vanished. Her life in danger and her relationship fizzling, can Anna find a way to track down the killer before he makes her his next victim—or will she have to pay the ultimate price for her powers?
Set in Jazz-Age London, this alluring sequel to Born of Illusion comes alive with sparkling romance, deadly intrigue, and daring magic.
*Spoiler free for the series*Having really enjoyed the wonderfully atmospheric and captivating Born of Illusion last year, I was excited to get back into Anna's world full of magic and mystery. Born of Deception is just as mesmerizing in its storytelling, and even more-so with its historical London setting. Brown is gifted in bringing these settings to life; making us walk the busy streets alongside our protagonist, feel the vibrancy of the city and the excitement of the crowds. As far as the
Having loved the rich, atmospheric and complex Born of Illusion, I was looking forward to being reacquainted with Anna van Housen and her narcissistic but absolutely fascinating mother in Born of Deception. Sadly, Born of Deception failed to live up to my expectations and unlike the first book, it ended up frustrating me.The problem with Born of Deception is that it strived to focus more on the unnecessary romantic drama than to focus on the promising plot line and world-building. It was a wild

Anna's story picks up from where it left off in Born of Illusion, and we're introduced to a barrage of more characters; some real, like Bronco Billy and (eep!) Aleister Crowley, and some not, like Leandra, Harrison, Calypso, and poor Pratik.I liked this story but did not love it to the same degree as Illusion; I missed the complicated yet caring relationship between Anna and Houdini, and wanted more strong scenes where Anna's mother wielded her not-supernatural-yet-fiercely-more-powerful

I picked up the book anyway, as I happen to own a copy and, really, I should start reading the books I own. It was actually fairly easy to get into this book.

Despite having entirely forgotten Born of Illusion, I was excited to read Born of Deception. The good news is that I didnt struggle with the sequel due to my memory lapse. Theres some recap and my brain also returned some things Id forgotten. I enjoyed the first book, but was definitely hoping for something with a bit more oomf and emotion. Instead, Id say Born of Deception is weaker narratively with more forced romantic drama. However, the paranormal romp across Europe is quite fun.Read the
I liked the first book, but I just could not get into this one. I kept trying to read it but I would find myself getting very distracted. I like the concept and i enjoy the writing mostly, but i just couldn't do it.

**Check out more reviews at Books As You Know It**Original and authentic, Born of Deception, does an awesome job following up Born of Illusion to London. I love the time period and how we're able to see a different setting compared to Born of Illusion. While it was a bit slow at times, the plot and the introduction of the Society definitely makes up for it.
