Levitating Las Vegas by Jennifer Echols

Levitating Las Vegas by Jennifer Echols
My rating: 2 of 5 stars



I wasn't a fan of this book. It wasn't a light read, and it really just didn't mesh well enough for me. I think I've read some Jennifer Echols books before, the name sounds familiar, but I couldn't get into this book. I think I took one look at the cover and the title and thought that this was going to be an amazing book. Sadly, it wasn't. That just goes to show that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.

Holly is tired of being the assistant to her dad in his shows. She wants to do her own shows. She's worried she can't make it because of the medication she's taken to stop the hallucinations she gets. She's worried she won't be as amazing.

Elijah thinks he can read peoples minds. So he takes medicine too--until it runs out. He kidnaps Holly and takes her to a town in the Rockies where their medicine is made. What they will discover will surprise them both.

It was a kind of heavy book for something about magic and Las Vegas I think. And it had too much craziness for me to like it. Like the confrontation. That was awkward, in my opinion, but I guess all confrontations are. I wasn't a fan of Holly or Elijah. I don't know, it was like there were a million little reasons that made me dislike the book as a whole. The title and cover are pretty deceiving.

Synopsis:

Nothing up her sleeves...or so she’s been led to believe.

Showgirl Holly Starr is sick and tired of assisting her dad, a celebrity magician, in his Las Vegas casino magic show. As soon as he keeps his promise to her and shares the secrets to his tricks, she can break out on her own. But can she really make it? For years Holly has taken medication to stave off crazy hallucinations that she can levitate objects. Just when she thinks she’s ready to make a career and a life for herself, her medicine—and her luck—run out.

Elijah Brown suffers from a similar delusion—that he can read minds—and he’s out of medicine too. Determined to save himself and his old flame Holly, he kidnaps her and takes her straight to the source, a town high in the Rockies where their medicine is made. What they discover there leads them to suspect their powers are not imaginary after all...and neither is the intense attraction they feel for each other.

They make a pact to stick together as they return to Vegas to confront the people who kept them in the dark so long. But soon they’re pitting their powers against each other in a dangerous world where the nightlife is seductive, domination is addictive, the sex is beyond belief...and falling in love is murder.
